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!

We use to live in a society when Presidents had to personally sign everything.

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 1 points 13 hours ago

Dont be silly, this is obviously a valid way to cut wasteful government spending. /s

WASTING our fucking tax dollars.
Wasting OUR fucking tax dollars.
Wasting our FUCKING tax dollars.
Wasting our fucking TAX DOLLARS.

[–] Impound4017@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 day ago

I mean, wasting our tax dollars has basically been the party’s platform for a while now, so no surprises there.

How does it go?

Rules for thee, not for me.

[–] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Silly, silly boy.....

You didn't actually think that the rules he wants enforced on everybody else is supposed to apply to him too, did you?

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

and in other news, TRUMP IS ON THE EPSTEIN LIST!

[–] etherphon@midwest.social 15 points 1 day ago

As has literally every other person who has done their taxes or anything else online before. I'm sure they're trying to make it seem like he had some robot butler that was going mad signing every paper it was handed but whatever.

"Let's distract from our leader being, at minimum, a pedophile protector, but probably also an actual pedophile."

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

It's not about being right, it's about winning power.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

It does not matter how they sign, as long as they sign off on the release of the Epstein files and the subsequent order to have everyone indicted in there raided, jailed and put to court.

This also goes for Biden, who had four years of presidency to take care of the Epstein investigation and release of files but chose to keep the files away from the public like Trump is doing now.
