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!

Christ, what an asshole.

It's almost like donnie and pals are trying to make him as hated and as unpopular as possible.

It’s almost like donnie and pals are trying to make him as hated and as unpopular as possible.

Pretty sure they are, and he's playing into it because of his extreme narcissism.

When he inevitably dies, they're going to try and pin everything on him and pivot to manipulating things further down the fascism rabbit hold from outside direct public scrutiny like they have been for 60+ years.

The only reason they're being so brazzen now is that Trump is a fucking idiot and is incapable of doing anything without as much public attention for his ego as possible.

I have to renew in 2029. Cool ......cool...... :(

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

You can renew it early. The passport doesn't need to be expired in order to renew it.

You might as well get a passport card too while you're at it when you renew. It's $30 more and it's useful if you lose your passport book, and you can carry it in your wallet as a form of ID that doesn't have your address on it.

Hopefully it's gone by then.

[–] Archer@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Renewed under Biden because it was very easy to see which way the wind was blowing

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Allegedly if you get the one with more pages it won't have his face. Idk if it's just extra stock, and eventually they will, but give it a go.

I heard The Professional Left saying that Democrats should try to swap Dump with Obama on there ASAP, not that many cons get passports.

Can you imagine the poutrage from the cons?

🤣

Just pulling out from the article, Rubio's embarrassing "product launch" video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9qHey1fT_k

He hid the Trump reveal on a tiny thumbnail @ 12;12, presumably so it would fly under the radar and he could say later that it'd been announced a long time ago and nobody cared. Enlarged:

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Just a side note - I am so very fucking tired of donnie always picking out these pictures where he thinks he looks "hard" or whatever. I'm not sure if it really took off once he was able to orchestrate his own mugshot voguing (they should have took a much more candid one, IMHO. Him looking all grrrr toughguy was such bullshit).

I guess the cons are all broken-brained dumbasses that want a tough daddy for their leader, but to the rest of us, all of this stupid vamping on the part of a coddled failson Manhattanite social climber who never worked a day in his life just looks absolutely ridiculous.

This is the real donnie:

Well guess who will be pissing on his own passport then.

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

That is certainly an option, yes

Just grab a label maker and turn the image into a meme

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

This has been reported before. Seem to remember that it is only for the ones issued in D.C

Edit: that was the LE Patriot Passport, and it was for people ordering them in person and specifically choosing them.

This new shit seems mandatory.

Dude he already did this with NPS passes and I don't have this year's America the Beautiful pass for this reason

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Only if I get to choose the picture, motherfucker.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Might have to blur out the neck.

[–] ghorsey@lemmus.org 5 points 3 days ago

Ugh... Him again.
