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!

She is his Russian handler. I don't know why people can't see this.

I'm so glad every sentence in that comment is incorrect.

Makes since any sources on it?

[–] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The fact that Putin has been dragging Trump around by the balls since at least the 1980s.

Aside from the subject of the article, when are we going to just stop with the "torched!" and "slammed!" and "destroys!" titles?? I hate them so much. Especially when someone "slams!" someone else. Like who the fuck came up with saying that.

[–] FlagonOfMe@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

You just slammed the entire news industry!

[–] tillary@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I'd never heard the word torched used that way before. I thought someone literally set her on fire.

[–] Octavio@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It's only a matter of time before we see the headline:

User ZzyzxRoad Claps Back at Stupid Clickbait Headlines!

[–] makatwork@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I hate it too, along with saying something "just" happened in the headline.

[–] Velvis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Those are better than "throws shade"

[–] bumblebrainbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It's to grab the readers attention and bring activity to the article and subsequent post. Worked really well, didn't it?

[–] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

Gawd I wish they would stop embedding twitX in news articles. Especially when hosting video.

[–] Acronymesis@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Wouldn't it be wild if the Orange One's wife ended up being coconspirator #6??

[–] LeadSoldier@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

You just gave me so much hope.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Baron is probably a crime lord, isn't he?

Hes like the kid leader in Tropic Thunder.
