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!

She had her husband killed because he wouldn't back JD and Vance. Many people are saying it.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

He will never, ever make her cum.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Of course not! She's not a couch.

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You win the internet today.

Thank you for your service

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Money and power makes her cum

[–] lando55@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Does DJT know Vance is running against him in 2028

[–] tangonov@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Until DJT goes full Putin, this is his last term

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Until. How positive no one makes next election cycle merch 4 years in advance unless they intend to run. Honestly i think he'll be dead before then which would be nice but not as nice as him in chains before a military tribunal.

If only we had a kakistocracy. The current regime is a mixture of a pedophilocracy, felonocracy and kakistocracy, along with a few other unsavory ocracies.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 22 hours ago

I'm not gonna lie, I'm unfamiliar with all of those terms and had to look them up.

Kakistocracy = gov filled with ethically bad people and least qualified

Couldn't find pedophil-ocracy, assuming you mean pedophocracy = the unknown elite being pedos to control us

Felonocracy = gov is run by felons

So, I'm gonna have to pop your bubble a little bit and say that I'm not sure I believe that. It's possible, sure, but it's more likely just a deeply unfortunate coincidence that those people are all those things - or even that extreme wealth turns you into those things - and that this is just plain old capitalism at work.

Because at the end of the day, we would still not want this level of extreme wealth disparity AND we don't want such centralized extreme power AND we don't want money to give rise to power. Which are the real ocracy issues here imo

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Let's keep funding it though and keep spending on all of our wants that we don't need. That way things will get worse!

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

How do we fix a cancer-ridden machine that we are all very much a party to?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

She’s probably been banging the immigrant pool boy for years behind Charlie’s back, Vance isnt gonna cut it

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I heard she was sucking and fucking. And I heard she has a tattoo above The V that says "Nut Depository".

Degrading women is cool when it's people you don't like

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

lol they think they’re gonna follow up Trump with Vance?

[–] RogerMeMore@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

Haha, I'm not sure they'll follow up Trump with Vance, but it's definitely an interesting choice!

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 113 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Vance is an absolute dud of a candidate but I'm sure the Democrats will manage to come up with someone even more ludicrously unsuited.

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

They will invent one. In a lab.

[–] Archer@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

DNC torn between HRC, Newsom, and Schumer

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What about Sinema? She's super qualified.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Oh, of course! Those primaries will be lit!

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 11 points 3 days ago (9 children)

By unsuited, do you mean for the job or to get the vote of fickle progressives?

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

"Dem candidates are never bad, progressives are just fickle!" - you

"The party cannot fail, it can only be failed."

- every moderate fuckwad stuck in 1992

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They're not worse than JD Vance, which was the contention. If the commenter is not coming at it from the disgruntled progressive stance, as so many here are, then that part of my response was off the mark.

The commenter is being very coy about what was meant.

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You don't even know who it's gonna be and you're already stating they'll be better than Vance as if it's a truism. I can absolutely see the DNC fucking up so badly that Vance looks like a better alternative. INB4 we end up with two Peter Thiel acolytes running against each other; "abundance" vs. "Christian" nationalism, a true clash of ideas.

This is only because he thinks President's Day is the best day for couch sales.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Man, when JD leaves Usha for Erika, the fireworks will be amazing to watch.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

He'll just get ICE Shanghai her..oopsie.

She's gonna support him in every way she can, in and out of the bedroom.

I'm honestly surprised America doesn't have those suicide bomber we used to hear so much about after 911.

I’m finding this interesting—- I’ve heard two hypotheses around JD running for President—

1, he will divorce Usha, as she’s not Xian; and marry Erika….

2, Usha will convert

In my universe; #1 is ahead by a nose at this point. The Hug and this just keep adding to #1…

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 14 points 2 days ago

Have you all said thank you lately?

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 days ago

JD Vance divorce/Remarriage incoming

I wonder who the bride will be

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

He's been propped up by others for his entire life. I wouldn't expect anything different.
