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 scams everyone. EVERYONE. There is truly no person he will not try to fuck over. He has done it for six decades there's no reason why he would stop now.

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

I mean, what choice do they have? If they vote for the Democratic Party, their penises might fall off and they might become women!

The thing about Trump is he will never have your back unless he’s getting something.

He already got your vote, you’re nothing to him now.

"The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, don't understand that the only reason they are doing so well, for the first time in decades, is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States," Trump wrote in his Wednesday post.

Despite days of verbal clashes between president and ranchers, the White House on Wednesday confirmed plans to quadruple the tariff-rate quota for beef imports from Argentina. The same day, the Department of Agriculture announced an action plan to support domestic cattle ranchers.

Unironically everybody involved in this are fucking morons. Trump saying to buy Argentine beef while raising tariffs. Ranchers complaining while prices skyrocket and he raises tariffs. It's really really dumb.

[–] aarch0x40@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Ranchers aren’t enriching Trump. Why should he care about them?

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Just one week earlier he wanted praise from them because he increased tariffs on Brasilian beef 😂

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

Except for Putin, who hasn't Trump betrayed?

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Asking for a Corp to buy the house when a family can move in?

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you know who Blackrock is and how they operate?

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The company that pretty much has control in voting in pretty much every major stocks and funds decisions?

Or you mean the company that controls pretty much $10.5t in a most everything in the free market?

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

More like stabbed in the back, and then farm burned down.

[–] Zacpod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Not stabbed in the back. Stabbed in the front, with enthusiastic consent. These idiots voted for that idiot. They're getting /exactly/ the day they voted for.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Donvict is basically the scorpion, what did they expect? Just deporting brown people and punching down on trans, Blacks, liberals and women?
