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'm fucking dying laughing at this shitshow from another country.

YOU COULDN'T FUCKING WRITE THIS SHIT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You could write that in a tv show and people would say it's funny but too far fetched. Look at american movies and tv shows. The preside t is a smart, grey haired dude who has everything under control. I wonder if there will ever be a movie with an obese president who can't read and shits his pants.

It could be a 2 minute SNL skit. But you're not getting a whole show out of this.

Well, there was that time a fat meth addict betrayed one of the billionaires/rivals that made him Fuhrer.

They did. So we ignore the circus while they rob the treasury.

This is, without a doubt, the best idea Steve Bannon has ever had.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago

That's true but we know he's lying and even though they say Musk is totally gone, Don't believe it so quickly. He's too rich, too powerful, and they want his money too much.

We know that they want to distance themselves from him in the newspapers, but we don't know anything else.

Let's not give that fucking cunt any credit. He's still only motivated by his own malevolent self-interest.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago (4 children)

That doesnt mean he can't do something funny by accident.

White genocide confirmed??!

Imagine spending $250m dollars to get deported. It would be awesome if he was sent back to South Africa.

That's a funny way to spell El Salvador.

The rules don't apply to the ultra rich. Even the horrifying rules.

Unfortunately.

On one hand, this would be hilarious. On the other hand, the affirmation Trump would get out of exercising that kind of power over the richest man in history would be terrifying.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I dunno. For once it would show that money won't shield you from the law.

[–] Zess@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Did you forget about trump that fast? It's just about who you pay.

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 11 points 1 day ago

Best outcome is Musk hires a fleet of lawyers who convince the supremes to limit presidential power.
