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!

“Everything Joe Biden touches turns to shit,” -Trump

That's a bold thing to say

Trump shaking Biden's hand

The look on Obama's face is priceless. He's thinking it's gotta be a fever dream.

And we never got to see trump handing over the presidency because he was too much of a piece of shit to go to Biden’s inauguration.

Is it still mocking when you state facts?

[–] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago

The best form of mocking is with facts

I’m glad we are done with the “We go high” bullshit with someone who flings mud everywhere. We are all covered in mud. Let’s stop pretending we aren’t.

If Trump wants to make fun of Biden falling down when he runs up a flight of stairs, let’s talk about how Trump is incapable of running and more importantly wouldn’t be able to get up again if he were to fall down.

"Donald, my offer to play golf still stands. I’ll let you take three strokes off your game if you carry your own bag.”

— President Biden, on X.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

They have stickers, coffee mugs, and maybe a few other things too.

They're the same image he uses on his TikTok campaign.

Ah yes, the "I know you are but what am I" defense

RIP Paul Ruebbens

Inconsequential gobbledygook.
