Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Go back. Save Amy Winehose and Harambe.
This is the timeline where capitalism heralds in technocratic fascist dystopia. There was never any alternative.
You can thank conservatism and neoliberalism for spending decades and trillions building a more advanced and pervasive surveillance state than Hitler could have ever dreamed, though... There's nothing more free and democratic than constructing big brother for fascism, then handing them the keys.
technocratic fascist dystopia
Technocratic is such a high hope. I like to think of it as capitalcratic fascism, or just capital-fascist. Rule by power of wealth.
Kleptocratic Kakistocracy.
All the immoral, criminal idiots are in charge, have no idea how to do anything effectively other than privatize the state and funnel wealth into the pockets of themselves and their buddies.
But also fascist.
And also theocratic.
You should see Trump Condoms. They have holes built in.
Populate America Again!
That's really an effective contraceptive still.
Dude pulls out a Trump condom he's not getting laid.
Normally I would agree, but have you met a MAGA woman?
Ah yes, the old “I don’t think women should have any power” women.
If you don’t believe me:
I can’t tell if this is supposed to be satire or not lol
The video? Channel 5 / Andrew is probably one of the best journalists out there today. This isn’t satire, it’s someone who legitimately went to a Trump rally, gave people a mic, and this is what they said
So… he’s baiting them right? He’s not MAGA?
Correct
I'd like to believe musicians are smarter than to but Trump's bullshit, being artists and all. Maybe it's just for those grifter 'musicians' trying to virtue signal to their marks? Or, ew, the stupid family of musicians that will get stupid trump branded shit.
No, this is for two sets of people- ignorant country music players (so just country players) and those dudes in the bands on stage at churches. No one else is this stupid.
Who this is actually for:
Money laundering. Just like every single one of these scams. It's all money laundering.
Fair point.
So yeah, their American Eagle electric guitar looks very, very, similar to a classic Les Paul
Here is a screenshot of the godforsaken guitar so people don't have to give that site views:
Image transcription:
4 panels
Top right is a regular looking guitar with the ludicrous name "God Bless the USA guitar" for $1000.
The bottom right is a bright red electric guitar for $1,500.
Guitar with ugly eagle in flight spanning 75% of it, a US flag filling the remaining 25%, is in top left panel: $1,250.
Same guitar with hideously ugly Trump signing it in bottom left panel: $10,250.
Why does drump look simple in this picture?
Gibson has sued everyone who came close to their body style. They did win back in the day over the "open book" headstock (the mustache looking top). They're super litigious. I don't see them winning this for a variety of reasons, number one being that I don't think there are really guitars.
I love how Mr. America First keeps endorsing inferior shit made overseas. This is one hundred percent one of the hundreds of LP knockoffs that you can get for a couple of hundred bucks apiece if you buy in bulk on Alibaba with garbage pickups, sharp frets, and terrible glue joints. Probably an extra hundred bucks for the inlay and "paint job".
Except I bet they paid for a couple of them and that's all they actually had made. One to show, one to put up on their wall, and the rest are "sold" and never fulfilled with a kickback to the grifter in chief. If someone actually pays the $11,000 or whatever for one with Trump's signature they'll order a few with the signature already stamped over the clear coat (not actually signed! shocker!) for the same couple of hundred bucks, kick back 30% to trump, and keep $6000 per idiot who wants to put that on their wall.
Edit: What in the chicken fried fuck is a "Trumpbucker" pickup?
lol, they claim they're "sold out" now.
Oh no, I believe that, plenty of crazies around that just love getting their wallets emptied for cheap stuff blessed by diaper jeebus.
Only the normal edition, for a mere 10k you can have a custom weather map drawn on it.
Edit correct URL
Hahaha that's an extremely bad photoshop of Trump signing the guitar.
