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!

This is NOT just, ‘Trump being Trump.’ It’s Trump being classless.

...where have you been the last, like, 79 years? Trump is classlessness personified.

Before I even looked I said, "I bet it's Russell Moore." He's been vocally anti-Trump since before his first term. Even got fired from the SBC ERLC for it.

So he's been there the whole time, basically. This isn't a reversal for him.

Edit: I hadn't actually read the article yet. That quote is David Brody. I just assumed the whole article would be about Russell Moore.

The shame of our generation is allowing this loon be president twice.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, our entire generation, as in everyone alive today, is going to be viewed as ape-like knuckle dragging dipshits by future generations, assuming they aren't even more stupid than we are.

That's our legacy in the annals of history. Dipshits.

Ah that's not true. Have you visited countries that were formerly ruled by dictatorial governments? Everyone knows that the average citizen wasn't responsible for national level badness. There's no judgment on the ordinary person, because blaming the victims is rather pointless.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How many of those countries democratically elected those dictators with full knowledge of who they were and what they were planning?

"...but I'd still vote for him."

- every evangelical leader

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Fucking evangelicals are one of the reasons this shit is happening. Take the blame for this immoral shitscape, too, Russell.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The shame of our generation is both the cons and the pinnacle of everything they've been working toward and dreaming about: Taco himself.

It's much more than just one post from this POS; his very existence and the conservative backing of him as a so-called "President" is the real shame.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Lol what? The dude is a pedophile, but a social media post about a celebrity death is the real shame?

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

He is the shame of our country, personified

Well, this is coming from an Evangelical. Pedophilia is fairly common in those spheres.

[–] The_Lurker@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

No, just adds to it. One more disappointment in a litany of disappointments. He will never be held responsible until his dying day. So social outrage is the only consequence of note.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know they despised each other, but the Reiners aren't even in the ground yet. Have some respect for his surviving family you stinky cankleoid.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

But remember, the conservatives are better because they don't celebrate the deaths of people they don't like, unlike the left who made light of Charlie Kirk's death.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago

You are all missing the point .... Reiner is drawing attention so Trump needs to make it about HIM again.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 8 points 13 hours ago

But not the kiddie fucking....

Jesus fucking christ, America.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

Rats on a sinking ship. Fuck all of these people

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

If the concept of shame itself could have shame, that lecherously vile piece of human-shaped dogshit is an example of what shame’s shame would look like on a lecherously vile piece of human-shaped dogshit.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 21 hours ago

"Funny" thing is, Netanyahu did the same on the same day about the shooting in Australia. Fucking fascist boomers.

But evangelicals are also a shame of our generation.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

Not at all, the shame of our generation is the election of Trump. TWICE!! And the fact that the majority of Americans actually supported him, and he won the popular vote.
Trump,'s post is only what can be expected from a malignant narcissist with dementia that prevent the little bit of self control that could have prevented him from actually posting it.
Wake up Americans, the shame is not on Trump, it's on the American voters!

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Which generation? For that matter how is it anyone's shame but trump and all those evangelical leaders that support him.

It's fine, ya'll can Lean on Me

[–] TheFinn@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

Grizzly? The grizzly murder?

Come on, FFS
