Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Former President Biden’s plaque references him as “Sleepy Joe Biden” and calls him “the worst president in American history,” while former President Obama’s plaque is labeled as “Barack Hussein Obama” and says he was “one of the most divisive political figures in American history.”

Former President Clinton’s plaque reads, “In 2016, President Clinton’s wife, Hillary Clinton, lost the Presidency to President Donald J. Trump!”

That's just sad and embarrassing. But not for the former presidents.

Trump is a sad fucking clown. I'll write his plauqe for him:

"Allowed Nazis to run the administration, killing and jailing innocent americans and immigrants while producing an atmosphere of fear"

Carve that on his headstone before pissing on it.

Add his sex crimes as well as war crimes to this.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Actually, since I know its not happening in his lifetime, dig up his body, put it on the stand and prosecute him for all his crimes. It will be the same as it is now anyway cause his old ass cant stay the fuck awake.

Hey if the Vatican can do it for a pope, we can put his corpse on trial too!

I like the cut of your jib

Star of NBC’s The Apprentice and FBI’s The Epstein Files.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Nah, the best comeback is just to simply omit him from other mentions.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"You know what they say about a man with small fingers..."

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 2 points 1 week ago

Small peepee gang rise up!

Trump begins to stand

NOT YOU!!!

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago

Trash, from a trashy White House, to serve the trashiest president this country has ever seen. Congratulations to his supporters; you are the worst. Followed closely by those who have chosen to remain asleep.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My 10 year old is more mature than the president. Let's reflect on that.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Good parents don't let their kids grow up to be billionaires.

We need to start treating excess consumption of money like alcohol and vapes.

How the fuck is this reality

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The next democratic president better be a fighter ready to tear all this Trump shut down. And put Trump's portrait in the Lincoln bathroom next to the toilet

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

No just put a simple asterisk next to his name and never explain what it’s for. If he’s still alive by then it will drive him nuts.

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who cares. Bullshit designed only to distract his base from the fact that Trump rapes children.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

One crime amongst many. I get that the Epstein files are important, but this guy has done so many things that would have put him in jail already in most countries of the world, besides his involvement with Epstein.

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure, but raping children is among one of the worst crimes that a person can do. It's not his "involvement with Epstein" that's the scandal, it's his involvement with abusing young girls.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I won't get into ranking crimes, but he's gotten out of some pretty hefty accusations and even verdicts.

I am just saying, that there is no reason to believe that one more crime would be much different.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Going to have to christen the East Wing as The Haters Ballroom.

Dude is down so fucking bad he needs to put up plaques of his tweets in order to remember that he's cool.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Ooh these will be fascinating exhibits in the Trump section of a museum. I wonder how future people will interpret this behavior /s

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

At this point we need to burn the whole White House down and start over. The people's president should live in the smallest legally allowable housing area and all work spaces should be dismal and grey because theres no need for any fancy shit in there.

[–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Burn down the white house you say? Canada is on it's way to honor our rich heritage of burning down the white house.

[–] Tower@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Unironically accurate. Who knows what kind or how many covert devices are now lurking in that building, and that's before we even get to the new construction.

[–] HarneyToker@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He’ll be so happy when he gets his own museum! It’s not going to be like a ”Hall o’ Fame” more like a “Hall o’ caust” museum.
