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!

I wish democrats had a spine and a sense of humor... I'd say "OK I'll take the unfreeze and I promise to name the airport after you, put it in writing and we will do this deal".

then announce the new "Trump is in the Epstein files" airport.

[–] nightmare786@leminal.space 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

or even just President Pedophile Airport

Might be a LITTLE awkward for the people who work there but they'll manage 🤷

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why not?

Maybe because everything he slaps his name on collapses and dies.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’ve a better idea.

Let’s not change the name but tell him we did anyway.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Those are huge infrastructure projects that take many years. They won’t get finished until he’s out of office or finally transfers to the afterlife. “sure, we’ll put your name on it … when we’re done”

Naw. I want him babbling incoherently about trump-This at the Trump-that with trump-sauce over the trump steaks, thinking they just renamed everything to "trump-whatever".... as we all go on completely ignoring him.

Edit: although, I would be okay with renaming United Site Services to "Trump PortaShitters"

[–] Ancalagon@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Spent the last 30 years raping kids willy nilly while being protected. Why not? Seems like an accurate assessment.

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

Why not name the whole country after him at this point.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I prefer medical terms. That worked for Santorum.

"Oh, that spicy food last night gave me bad Trumperhea" or "I thought it was just a fart, but I trumped myself"

"dude, it was an easy win, but you really trumped the bed".

Anything to distract from the Epstein Trump files...

[–] Patrikvo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Guess he's completely aladeen. Has he complained about the nuclear missles not being pointy yet?

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

To be fair it wouldn't be worse than being named after that warmonger Dulles who wanted to enter Vietnam in the 50's to help the French maintain colonialism and helped destroy Iran and Guatemala.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Let him. Let him name everything after himself. At some point it will sink in what he is.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Lol. Anyone who doesn't get it, already isn't going to get it because his name is on more stuff. If anything that just legitimizes him more in their eyes.

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

It's not like Dulles was a great guy but the Democrats should offer Trump Reagan International in exchange for no more ICE masks.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Peen Station

[–] the_wise_wolf@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As your doctor I have to tell you, you are HIV-Trump.

😃😢😃😢😃

[–] Spesknight@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Penn(entrate) Trump Station and Dull(es) Trump Airport

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Would be pretty funny considering how much a POS Dulles was too

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So you trump back to trumpania and land at trump airport. There wasn't a trump mobile to rent so you had to take a trump from trump station. Once arrived in trump harbor you put on the trump uniform and board the MS Trump (a fregat of the trump class vessels) and do your trump to earn your wages payed in trump$.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 days ago

I just left a big trump in the toilet. I still only needed one flush though, so I need to revisit the food funnel again to make sure I'm getting my needed food.
