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!

Sell/short $TSLA while it’s still legal.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Shorts are always risky especially and there's a chance that Trump mandates everyone buy a Tesla tomorrow or some bullahit but, and this is not financial advice, it seems like a crazy time to try and hold Tesla stock.

Any one who are reckless enough to take financial advice from fedi are already billionaires.

Are there any apes on Lemmy?

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Get your GameStop nonsense out of here

More likely is Congress authorizing another TARP program for Tesla.

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

It's back up the last 2 days. Looking likely to be back up tomorrow, too.

Guess we'll see if sanity returns.

Words have no meaning with these types…

2022 Republicans: We are domestic terrorists.

2025 Republicans: You are domestic terrorists.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, good thing His Orangeness reopened Gitmo. How convenient with the upcoming influx of terrorists to disappear.

[–] DerArzt@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Gitmo was closed? I thought they were only expanding what was already there and in use.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

It wasn't closed but it was left in a state that wouldn't allow it to detain tens of thousands of ~~illegal~~ immigrants and other ~~terrorist~~ dissenters without due process.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Well it isn't big enough to hold tens of thousands of people there, which I guess means anyone sent there will be ~~disappeared~~ processed for deportation faster to make room.

When cybertrucks are safer the kids in school. Welcome to MAGA World.
