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!

Pete was whining on live TV about Democrats and the media "bullying" Trump. Never seen a SoD behave like a lil bitch before.

Can't believe he said this was the most secretive military operation in history haha.

They really are insane, sycophantic bootlickers.

Trump, Hegseth demand participation trophies for snowflake pilots

Nobody is putting the blame for the facilities not being destroyed on the pilots except the Trump admin.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

Yep, the fault lies with the idiots who gave the orders after disregarding expert advice, not with the poor schmucks who then had to carry out those moronic orders.

And nobody calls him out for the fact that the strikes were perfect, it was Cheeto who leaked they were coming so the Iranians just moved the target.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

My theory is that Trump telegraphed it because Putin's tight with the mullahs and Trump didn't want to upset his owner by being too effective.

Also, the approach taken had almost no chance of success. It just made a big boom so Trump could strut around and brag afterwards.

Not really sure why, but the title reminded me of this Frankie Boyle joke:

American foreign policy is horrendous 'cause not only will America come to your country and kill all your people, but what's worse, I think, is that they'll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad.

I find it ironic that the two morons that want to eliminate "dei" from the military have so obviously and miserably failed their first real test of military actions

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 16 points 8 hours ago

They couldn't even manage a fascist parade.

[–] EpicMuch@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 hours ago

It’s very clearly Biden’s fault

Why aren't people cutting up these clips more often and sharing it. If we did is there even a space around here to share and make fun of it?

Like everyday there are so many great clips to cut, document and meme but I really don't think there's a space for it here on Lemmy worth sharing it to

At one point heggsy says "I'm not aware of any intelligence"

He calls a female reporter the worst.

When a reporter says Iran is saying there isn't much damage hegs goes on a rant saying how Iran needs to really do a lot public statements to really create a public opinion that isn't true. He suggests they're really trying to save face on this because they obviously have to. Pot meet hegseth

Also lots of appeals like "are you not proud. Are you proud. This is the Army are you proud??????!!!? I'm so proud are you??????!??!!!!"

Also in true North Korea fashion, any reporting on this was a leak and an attack on America and those journalist are not proud. But are you proud??????!!!!???

Apparently not agreeing with Trump is a crime.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

Knowing more than Trump on any subject is also regarded as a crime. So almost all of us are criminals, and the rest should be in sheltered accommodation.

Those B2 pilots could hardly bomb straight on their next run. Happy now, people?

Jon Hamm will never recover.

But also don't post AI slop, please.
