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!

It might be the most profitable Trump hotel.

It’s funny until this shithead gets elected and puts all of them in it

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 15 points 7 months ago

It’s especially funny that they picked one in Florida

Performative bullshit that would never pass and is never intended to pass. Just some dudes saying 'look at me look at me look what I did!'

Get back to work you fucks, the country is falling apart and you have better things you could be spending your time on

I'll bet it took less time than the Republicans that put forth a bill to rename Dulles Airport after Trump.

I give 2 fucks how much time those assholes are wasting as well. That doesn't mean we should be playing circus games along side them. Thats all this is. Government employees putting forth 'please clap' bills.

You clearly don't understand the basics of politics, which include grandstanding and making points through legislation whether it is likely to succeed or not.

Yeah. Remember that when we are pushing the next shutdown because these useless fucks play games. Also...

the action of behaving in a showy or ostentatious manner in an attempt to attract favorable attention from spectators or the media.

Literally doing stupid shit to say 'look at me'. And you defend that and claim people who don't like it 'don't understand politics'. Then again, I do understand things like this have happened for a long time. And why? Because people like you cheer at the empty nothingness they are throwing out there. You lap it up and insult anyone who doesn't stroke their cock to it.

Rage harder yo, rage harder.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world -4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That is the sign of a person who can't come up with an argument against what I said.

the country is falling apart
