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!

The draft appears to suggest Trump himself would control the money, something that would be considered unacceptable to most countries who could have potentially joined the board

This is just so unfathomably fucking pathetic. Jesus fucking Christ 🤦

I'm now taking it upon myself to design and print shirts to hand out for friends and neighbors to remind every single one of you dumbshitfucks that voted for this OR abstained because your feelings were hurt, that we will never forgive you.

This could have all been avoided with this fat piece of shit rotting in jail.

Merrick Garland and the Biden administration fucked the world over when they didn't arrest, prosecute, and put that orange traitor in prison.

That should have been done in less than a fucking year and they had 4.

The irreversible damage that has now been done is also on them as well as these MAGA Nazis.

YELLING NOW FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK...📢

THE NEXT PEOPLE IN OFFICE SHOULD BE PEOPLE WITH THE FULL INTENT TO ARREST AND PROSECUTE OR IMPEACH ALL THESE TRAITORS.

REMOVE SCOTUS FOR THE IMMUNITY BULLSHIT

REMOVE LOWER COURT JUDGES APPOINTED BY TRUMP

ARREST AND PROSECUTE EVERY DOGE MOTHERFUCKER INCLUDING ELON AND FINE HIM BASED ON HIS WORTH.

AMEND OUR CONSTITUTION TO PROTECT IT FROM BAD FAITH ACTORS

PUT TEETH INTO THE FCC AND FTC AND DESTROY FOX NEWS AND OTHER RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA LIE FACTORIES.

THIS LIST GOES ON AND ON BUT YOU GET MY POINT.

Im ashamed for Americans vicariously.

Its just beyond absurd. The continued support for this guy is tough to comprehend.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There is no "continued support". Not sure where you're getting that.

Majority wants all of these people removed from office or dead. Just a fact.

The unfortunate portion of that is this shithead snuck by with a 1.8% win because some people didn't want to vote for a Black Woman who was not allowed to say she would revoke funding for Israel.

This is where we are. I still hold those that knew this would happen and voted for Trump or abstained accountable. No forgiveness.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 4 points 2 days ago

So long as he is POTUS he has "continued support". He's committed innumerable impeachable offenses, but the house won't get rid of him.

I'm sorry but you're delusional if you think he "snuck through".

That's pretty much how you ended up where you are, by dramatically underestimating the portion of US voters who are totally fine with everything happening right now, even if they won't admit.

I remember how "Thanks, Obama" was used unironically (but sarcastically) by the very same dumbfucks that enable and slurp this guy daily.

Then later, they probably had a lot of feels when people (including Obama) started to mock them over it. Now these same shit stains that later printed up "fuck your feelings" (projection again, they had a fucking meltdown and had all kinds of feelings about a black guy as President) adore Donvict as he destroys our country.
