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!

Did Musk not pay attention to the last 8 years of how the orange keeps dodging consequences?

It’s honestly his most impressive trait

Comedians used to joke how nothing could ever stick to Bill Clinton. Trump is making him look like an amateur.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

Yeah, in the case of Clinton, it was mostly about a stain on a dress, and everything else was one gigantic nothingburger, in spite of all the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy's efforts to make it otherwise...

The proto-qons and the proto-teabaggers (in their pupa phase between Bircher and teabagger/qanon nut) lost their fuckin' minds over both of the Clintons. Hillary drove them absolutely apeshit with being the stand-in for every 60s feminist they had hated for decades up to that point, and mostly because she did a bit more than just arrange flowers and have other women over for tea and meaningless meetings at the WH. And Bill drove them nuts for getting a blowjob.

It still makes me chuckle to think about how some of them got so grrr mad that Bill couldn't be removed for getting some lollipop love from Monica. One of them was huffing about this and squealed - "but Bill is MARRIED! This is infidelity!" I asked, "yeah, but is it illegal?" I've never seen one of these type look so impotent in my life when he sagged into his chair, red-faced with rage, and quietly said...."no".

It's got nothing to do with him, he's just a loser.

It's the cloud of losers around him, constantly embarrassing themselves, trying to help him, that off themselves constantly, in trying to help him for absolutely no gain or benefit that do it.

It's only a measure of how pathetic the Establishment Party types are.
