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!

Rounding up random brown people, including American citizens and sending them overseas to prison camps?

That's fine.

Raping children for decades?

Perfectly cool.

Cringey blasphemy?

HE CROSSED THE LINE

The mental illness will continue until the empire collapses.

True product of America imo

It's not even the first blasphemy... There's been so much talk and memes from evangelicals basically making him out to be a messiah and he's totally embraced it over and over again.

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Calling someone messiah is not a blasphemy tho. However, equaling yourself to God or his Son is a blasphemy. But now that you pointed it out, he was destined to fall for it at some point with his overinflated ego xD

'Murican "christian values" on display for the world to see, lol

They're fucking reptiles.

Its only when imaginary flying men get involved.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

That must be why they hate Obama so much.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago

Frankly, this is making me furious. Even a friend of mine who has hated Trump all along is telling me that this "crosses a new line" for him. I'm having a hard time not snapping at him about this. I will bury the reaction and continue smiling for now because opposing Trump is more important for now.

Those are things he hasn't tweeted or said or done on video, they are things the people who are dumb enough (all republicans) to have ever been on his side can deny or think isn't as bad etc. This is a specific thing done by him, it's something many of them can't do the mental gymnastics to try to disprove, explain away or angle into something else.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Fuck these people for real. I hope they find that hell that are so adament about.

And there are millions and millions of people who are allowing their children to be raped and don't do anything about it?

Are the darkies getting raped also?

For shame!
