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!

Every time he comes up I'm surprised he's still alive.

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

The final Horcrux must be found OR we have to wait 5 years for his face to fully melt off (as per the pact) at which point he returns to the goopy pile he was begat... begotten... Urrrrm, emergeged from.

The final ~~Horcrux~~ phylactery must be found

Cultural references to JK Rowling are ... not a great way to show support for trans people.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Ghouliani?

He’s undead. His corpse is rotting but he still comes out of the shallow grave he sleeps in.

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I honestly thought he died of heart disease or something.

[–] duckshuffgoose@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Same...like read the title and instantly was confused he's not dead...

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That was just a dream. A sweet and wonderful dream.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I'm more disappointed

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Going by that photo, so is he.

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

He definitely doesn't look like it.

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'm surprised More like nauseated in my case.

[–] El_Scapacabra@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

For real, wasn't he on the brink of death in the hospital a few months ago?

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

Dont worry, we now have precedent for him continuing to be a prick beyond the grave.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

FTA:

“You teach them that it’s OK to be a transvestite. In fact, you have transvestites come to school and give lectures to show them it’s perfectly OK,”

THIS Rudy?

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

My luck! I had this same picture ready in my clipboard to Ctrl-V into a comment. But you beat me to it.

Well, good on you! And I agree with you!

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah... THAT hypocritical piece of pedo shit

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hey, remember when he was caught trying to rape a minor in the Borat sequel?

[–] DanceMomsSavedMe@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I still do not understand why nothing happened about that. This dude should be in prison.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Because

  1. He's a rich white Republican and the law doesn't apply to them
  2. See point #1
[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago

9/11 Disease. Many of the volunteers who worked at the Ground Zero site later developed serious lung problems. New York City police and fire fighters who'd been some of Rudy's biggest fans. Giuliani never went to any of the funerals and did nothing to get them compensation.

When Rudy was sick earlier this year, he blamed his time at the Ground Zero site.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

Damn, I thought he was dead. Shame.

[–] Astronut@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

Fuck whatever this fucken fucker is spewing out! He’s a traitor like most other republican politicians!

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They say the same shit about anyone.

It's why moderation doesn't work, they said all this same shit about Obama/Clinton/Biden/Harris as they do about Mamdani/El-Sayed.

People need to just vote in the general, but we're still pretty far out and the "Don't vote D it's a waste!!!" Propaganda is already ramping up.

I'm really worried people are going to fall for it

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

What people really need to do is vote in the primaries, so the good candidates make it to the general.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Yep, and during the primaries I kept saying vote in the primaries...

After the general, I'll be telling people to get involved and start looking for who they'll support in the next primary.

Like, if there's still a primary out, absolutely vote in it.

Just vote in every election no matter what. It's clearly a use it or lose it thing these days.

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This dude? The dude who dressed as a chick and got motorboated by Trump and fucked his own cousin? Yeah, ok pal 👌

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 5 points 1 week ago

Traditional American values.

Unlike those godless communists.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Thought this fuck died already. Why we giving him news?

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Such a ghoul.

[–] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Just keel over you decrepit old bag of liverspots, be doing the world a favor

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Actual brain rot.

[–] Snowies@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

I’m surprised it’s taken them this long to bash trans people again.

This whole Iran thing has them fucked up.

It’s been nice not hearing anything about it for a while. I’m tired of being used as a scapegoat by literal demons pretending to be human.

Stupidity I can forgive. You were brainwashed. Your leaders betrayed and manipulated you. I forgive you.

The talking heads? The leaders themselves?

I will never forgive the culprits of this mayhem.

[–] Stache_@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Anyone remember the second Borat movie they made during covid? Guy’s a slimy snake

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

An entire US political party is just untreated mentally Ill people screaming that they have freedom to refuse treatment and terrorizes others with their surging illness. Regan closed all the mental health facilities to lead to this inevitable moment.

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

To these people, "pushing a trans agenda" really means "not pushing a transphobic agenda"

[–] rf_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

For some reason I thought he had died a while ago

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

If you could provide a pie-chart of what things most seem to occupy the broken brains of the right wing, it would probably have quite a bit dedicated to trans, along with Obama, Hillary, migrant caravans, and other things that don't affect their lives in any meaningful way.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

Oh, I'd thought he'd died already.

Ah well. Soon.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

It's been so nice not seeing his name in the news.

[–] dektep@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

thought this asshole was already on his death bed

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

Rudy who?

Why can’t these people just go away?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

This criminal loser still toots propaganda?

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

To a MAGAt mind it makes complete sense.

[–] ScrambledEggs@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 week ago

Thought he died last year

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago
[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Fucking hell. I thought we'd heard the last of this shithead when he got sued into bankruptcy.

[–] IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet@reddthat.com -3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yo, left and right are played out on purpose to make sure nothing good ever happens and while they bicker and bitch the real bad people pull strings and make life suck more for all genuine humans regardless of political affiliation, yo.

We all bean played y'all.

Word is bond.
