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!

not a single representative from Western Europe or North America attended Trump’s “peace board” signing. Representatives from the G7 were conspicuously absent, as were the original BRICS countries, and most of the G20. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Neyanhu wanted to be there but couldn’t because he’s wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes, the Financial Times reported. Israeli President Isaac Herzog was in Davos but skipped the ceremony...

Glad these guys are showing this douchebag how it's done.

Too bad we have so little of this domestically.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 24 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

What a sad, impotent, petty old pedophile.

[–] Inucune@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago

You forgot felon.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Neyanhu wanted to be there but couldn’t because he’s wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes

The way this is phrased would be fucking hilarious if it wasn't the tragic reality. They're saying it like it's "I'd love to come to your barbecue but I can't because I have to work that day!"

"Sorry, bro, I'm wanted by the ICC for war crimes."

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

Well but also his alternate representative didn't show up either. So it's somehow even worse than that!

[–] Seaguy05@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

More like, I can't leave my house because of this stupid court order and gps anklet.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 12 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Or "Your neighbor has a restraining order on me"

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

You live within 1000 feet of an elementary school.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

No, cause in that case trump wouldn't be able to go the barbecue, and it's his shindig

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Bro, you gotta "yes and" to keep the joke rolling

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry, I missed the part of my early childhood education where they taught proper humor etiquette

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 11 hours ago

No apologies homie!

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago

Keep it up. The way to deal with a narcissist of this clowns caliber is to ridicule and mock and to not EVER cave. Let him see how much everyone disposes him. He can't handle it. This is an idiot who has a personal assistant who literals PRINTS OUT good news of him to read. How fucking pathetic and weak is that!

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 36 points 19 hours ago

Mf tried to make a paywalled version of the UN.

No wonder no one showed up.

[–] vegeta@lemmy.world 150 points 1 day ago (2 children)

can't be humiliated when you have no shame...

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 93 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The pedophile raped children with his best friend epstein for fun... of course he has no shame. He's a piece of shit.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 8 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

You have dealt a rather serious insult to actual pieces of shit my friend.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I often think there is no insult to trump that doesn't insult that particular thing... the worst possible thing I can imagine is better than it. Even dehumanizing him to it isn't enough. I just wish it can be completely devoid from existence at all.

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Today on a post about a woman who enslaved a mentally challenged girl for 25 years, someone said "she's a real Trump", and I found it perfectly fitting.

"Maybe I'm a piece of shit but at least I'm not a Trump!"

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

Its true. Shit promotes growth in plant life and trump has forced the EPA to unban cancer causing herbicides.

[–] suicidaleggroll@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago

I came here to say the same thing. Trump can't be humiliated, he's a narcissist, you have to be capable of feeling shame to feel humiliated.

[–] fyrilsol@kbin.melroy.org 58 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because they know he's a joke and that's all he'll ever be.

Hey asshole, you wanted to be president because you thought it would get you world respect? Everyone knows what you really are. Your "money" and infantile understandings in how the world works, much less, this country works does not get you respect, you pedophile.

[–] hohoho@lemmy.world 28 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

He ran for president as a way of running from his many crimes

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 18 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

And it worked perfectly. Even if imprisoned today, he’s got like… weeks of life left in him? Hell, he’s already on borrowed time but Satan is keeping him alive because he’s such a useful idiot.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

Don't underestimate the staying power of the nastiest people on the planet.

Dick Cheney was a bitchass genocidal motherfucker and even he still made it to 84 after going through like 2 hearts. That stupid cunt refused to die, fueled by pure hatred.

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 10 points 19 hours ago

The rat bastard Kissinger lived to 100.

[–] YerLam@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

As Rimmer said after kicking the grim reaper in the balls: Remember, only the good die young.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

*growl-curses in Dick Cheney*

And getting rich quick. All the best reasons.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wonder if Netanyahu paid the 1 billion or if he just said to take it off the next repayment Trump needs to make ..

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 15 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Bipartisan bill to pay the billion directly to Trump cash account

[–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 24 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Neyanhu wanted to be there but couldn’t because he’s wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes

His best friends all have really good excuses.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

“Ah, . . No sir. Mr. Epstein is dead, sir.”

[–] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 16 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Hey Emmanuel! Hey Mark! Come on in. There's plenty of room. Sorry, not you, Donald. Why not? [boy points to sign, "No Donalds Club"] But you let in Donald Tusk. [Tusk pops head out window] Hyuck hyuck! It says no Donald_s_. We're allowed to have one.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 20 points 23 hours ago

He's only got a roughly 12 second memory, so he won't be humiliated for long.

Got any other mirror available perhaps? Archive.ps gives infinite captcha and requires apparently disabling dns over tls to access.

Edit: original src worked in reader mode. Good read
