Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

'Member when Jon Stewart had to publicly and repeatedly shame our leaders until they created the fund in the first place? I 'member.
Yup, I wonder if he'll do it again. It took a lot out of him at the time
He ignored the call the run for office when it might have done some good, he can learn what happens when you let the chimps run the zoo.
I understand why he didn't want to take on that burden. But yeah, I'd have loved to see him throw his hat into the ring.
They say power is best given to those who want it least...
I say, if you're given the chance to lead and your first instinct is not to. Well don't think of it as taking power, think of it as stopping the village idiot from being taken seriously.
