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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

His immense stupidity?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Not being a passive agent?

[–] JTskulk@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

tl;dr Canada is doing retaliatory tariffs targeting red states, Iran is making gas more expensive. Both are happening during the midterms.

Fuck yeah! More! Hurt the pedos harder, and make the dumb red hats hurt until they feel too fucked to vote for fascism

I was pleased to learn that cons are getting targeted again for their own choices and of course they are salty about it. "How dare you bring politics into this!" they squeal as everyone is suffering for their fucking choices. They don't give a fuck if ICE is tackling gardeners and disappearing them, but now that they might be getting harmed by their golden god-emperor's trade war...now they suddenly want to be "apolitical"

Also, the idea of being able to track where your food comes from, is a great one.

Those that voted for donnie, but now don't want to admit it, act like the people they are asking for support should be "purple" - meaning that people should ignore what conservatives fucking voted for and support them even if they were full-on "maga" ranchers that were calling for things like mass deportation.

Trump’s already doing that to them with his policies, they just crave being in abusive relationships.

But TACO can (and will) stop and reverse course when politically beneficial. External pressure doesn’t have a quick “off” switch, which is why I’m hopeful that other countries can REALLY inflict some pain on the confused red states

Thank you Canada. Good, moral, decent Americans appreciate the fact that you understand that it's the MAGAs that need to be punished for this nonsense.

I live in Florida, and I'm sure Canadians are staying away, for now. I'm cool with that. Plenty of nice places in Canada to visit. Spend your money in your own country, we don't deserve it.

Ditto, but from Texas

Putting export restrictions on Donnie diapers? And the most essential ingredient, oil?

Is it his intelligence or his leadership ability?

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I found it! Both things! He left it by the dog shit pile:

I assume that's what his leadershit and intelligenz cums from?

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 3 points 1 week ago

At least dogs are house-broken, unlike Donald.

The tariffs particularly focus on vehicles, fish, and dairy

Ah, three things that are completely unnecessary and harmful to the environment.

And for which we should have national tariffs, just to decrease their sales and create subsidies for alternative goods (fruit, veggies, bicycles) that are beneficial for the environment

Switched his uppers for downers
