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!

He should have been immediately thrown off the circuit & banned from the sport.

Yet another reason to continue not giving a shit about professional sports.

Even subtly acknowledging that you’re cool with a murder loving, anti-equality, pedophile rapist should get you banned from society.

“I’m callin’ daddy. “….

Anybody who exhibits behavior like this should be ignored for life. I don’t care who the fuck he’s callin’

Personally I'm more of a "A man chooses, a slave obeys" type of guy. But I guess your method is cleaner.

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 49 points 6 days ago (2 children)

So this is gonna be a thing now? You don't like how a ref ruled you're calling daddy Trump to overturn it?

[–] Janx@piefed.social 20 points 6 days ago

It's somehow more pathetic to call someone who's not your actual father to fight your battles for you.

[–] MrSelfDestruct@piefed.zip 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm fine with that. Trump is bad luck. They end up losing anyway.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

He's cursed. Every team Trump has rooted fir has lost

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 33 points 6 days ago

Initially thought this was just a tongue-in-cheek jab but sounds like he was actually being serious. What a flog.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 30 points 6 days ago

Dude’s getting savaged in golf communities online over this. It’s actually pretty funny to watch. He’s been an insufferable douche his whole life, but there wasn’t any one big thing to point to — it was a never ending series of small douchey things. So this is mana from heaven for his haters (read: most people who follow the sport).

What a snowflake

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 20 points 6 days ago

BIG STRONG ALPHAS make sure they WIN by ~~being REALLY Good at things they do!~~ having DADDY on Speeddial!

[–] Mok98@feddit.it 20 points 6 days ago

Disgusting consequence of the blatant fifa corruption

[–] NM_Gringo@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

Just when you think the right can't sink any lower. Grown men saying, "I'm gonna call dad if you don't rule my way!"

I guarantee that these goons cheat at solitaire, or they would if they had the basic comprehension skills needed to play solitaire.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 0 points 5 days ago

Everybody cheats at Solitaire.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

MAGA brings out all the pedos, bigots, and cheats.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago

Fifa has no credibility after trump forced their hand on that one team USA incident. If this happens, same goes for golf.

“I’ll call my dad, do you know who my dad is” energy

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't care who your dad is, my uncle is the president of Nintendo.

My dads BOTH work at Mojang They're gonna Ban your server! ...... So you want your Whole server BANNED??

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

"Yeah, your dad is the guy who will be bailing you out."

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

So now he's pardoning treasonous criminals AND rulebreakers in sports

[–] ChonkyLincoln@lemmy.zip 0 points 5 days ago

What a POS. Who are his sponsors so we can boycott them?!
