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!

I think most of us can agree that 2025 hasn't been a great year, but I guess it really could have been worse.

"I'm not touching that. I know precisely where it's been."

Went through what, three donor hearts? Man was a living ghoul.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Many, many people had to die for him to reach this age

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

Pretty clear he feeds on the souls of the living.

Sorry, fed.

Is “polarizing” a synonym for “war criminal”?

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

So yeah, going to be a pain in the butt today getting my car realignment done.

Except now we have even worse witches.

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

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 2 points 3 days ago

I didn't realize he was that old.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago

trump is 5 years younger

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

We tend to hold a mental image in our heads of someome at the point they hit their peak notoriety. The Iraq war started over 20 years ago.. yeah he got old in the years since then.

(Major media tends to use earleir photos that the various news outfits may have had on file)

Here's the Al Jazeera story with a rather recent photo. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/11/4/former-us-vice-president-dick-cheney-dies-at-84

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Only 25 years too late. It's not even a celebration when they're just old and ran out of hearts.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Kirk, Cheny, Pat Robertson . . ..

Can't decide who I'm more rooting for to be next. Orange Turd? Miller? Banon? Fuentes? Musk? Someone else? Still so much cancer left.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

"Powerful" "Polarizing"

The man is dead, there is no need to suck his dick anymore. It's cold and limp now, much like the rest of him.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world -2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He doesn’t seems that bad anymore, does he?
