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!

I would prefer it if they start with Thiel and the shadow cabinet first, then work their way towards the least competent member of the Project 2025 cabal. Fear would become Trump's shadow, and US officials would be more likely to handle Iranian affairs in good faith.

That's probably the best way not to get your country nuked. If the US president gets assassinated by a drone and they can prove who did it, it won't be good for who did it.

Realistically they probably won't know who did it but just pick someone they don't like.

Realistically they probably won't know who did it but just pick someone ~~they don't like.~~ with oil.

They would nuke (whoever they think is behind the assassinations) first. That's why nobody will do a thing. They are crazy enough to do it.

Some part of me expects Trump to order Zohran to be nuked, if he is elected as mayor and resists federal misconduct.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nuke New York City? Trump would never do that. He thinks he is New York city.

Trump would never do that.

Something that I've learned, over the past decade, to never ever say again.

They wouldn't, the world has changed since the cold wars

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You don't think Stephan Miller would launch nukes in retaliation for his orange turd god getting assassinated?

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

They're cowards remember.
