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!

President Donald Trump faced a high-profile disruption on Tuesday, 23 June 2026, when a protester heckled him during a speech at the Mack Trucks manufacturing facility in Macungie, Pennsylvania. The incident, which occurred just minutes into the President's remarks on American manufacturing, was broadcast live on Fox News

Ah. It just warms the heart and brings a smile to the face, doesn't it?

This should happen every single time Trump is in public. The fact a pedophile rapist of little children gets a free pass is way beyond infuriating.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 6 points 6 days ago

Pretty sure it does, no?

[–] kurmudgeon@lemmy.world 64 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's probably because Trump raped kids.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 4 points 6 days ago

I researched this in my internal brain library and found this to be true.

That shitty massage therapist had white supremacists raise $100k for her after she went on an anti-religious freedom rant at people that didn't look like her. I'd chip in $5 for this brave man.

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 days ago

I would definitely do this

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 12 points 6 days ago

So, just another day?

[–] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

one person appeared to clamp a hand over the man's mouth to silence him.

"Appeared to." Go to hell who ever wrote this. Fucking 'impartial' media.

So assaulted. On camera but they were not arrested, kicked out or fired. So go ahead and assault protestors. Even media has your back.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago

Tbf it may have been a friend of his cos they were scared he'd be attacked for saying it

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Why is it news that he was called a pedo and was flipped off? Everyone knows he's a pedo and most hate the guy. It would be news if it was mother Theresa instead of pedo Donny.

"In latest news, Henry the bus driver was called a bus driver and someone waved him good morning when entering his bus."

Yes this is just a distraction news. Yesterday those vermin are drafting a full immunity to themselves and I don’t see it being mentioned once any where?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 days ago

Just a totally normal thing that peace negotiators always want. Full immunity.

[–] macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world -2 points 6 days ago

*pedophile.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 106 points 1 week ago (2 children)

how about a nice little billion dollar lawsuit, there, donnie? hmmm? wanna go on the record? get the files released? have numerous witnesses testify under oath?

ya. didn't think so.

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The files are mostly released already. Nothing happened to anyone. They just don't care.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure the interesting files got slapped with a "national security related" sticker and won't see the light of day anytime soon. And I would not put it past certain groups and people to have destroyed loads of evidence already.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 3 points 6 days ago

That goes without saying

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 63 points 1 week ago

Go ahead, Don. Sue him for Slander. You just gonna sit there and let him call you a pedophile on national TV?

Go on. Prove in civil court that you aren't a pedophile. Gotta be easy, right?

Shit, meant to make it an actual png.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 6 days ago

make

Lol right

[–] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah you gotta a do more than type some prompts

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Ha, yeah. Even with the right prompts, gpt was being impossibly stupid about it. To be fair, I made this image proper some time ago. No idea where it went, so I went the lazy route and got lazy results.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Not too late

Hey don't do pedobear dirty like that, he at least started out as an anti-pedophilia thing before getting mangled when he jumped to the english side of the internet.

[–] HappyCatLuvs_U@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It doesn't say if the "protester" was a worker at the facility but if so guy probably won't be punished if he's ~~union~~.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 8 points 6 days ago

Apparently the protester also called him a "pedophile protector," so it's a little different, but the union still has his back because anyone with more than 2 brain cells to click together can see that he ain't wrong.

I usually only comment while high and the hyper-linking looked different than the only other time I did it on here but I couldn't figure out why. Guess that's why. 😅

They don't punch hecklers anymore? MAGA isn't what it used to be. It's as if deep down they all know it's true.

[–] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Best way to not get called a pedo is to not be one. Just saying...

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

I mean, it's not a guarantee.

I once asked someone politely not to smoke in the underground station where smoking is prohibited both out of respect for others and out of safety concerns. He got all up in my face how we could settle this in court, pulled out some book of scribbles, started lecturing me on whatever nonsense and made vaguely threatening remarks.

When he was done telling me what was gonna happen to me, he capped off his rant with the assertion that I'm a pedo. So what I'm saying is: You might want to add "not getting yelled at by people with a serious disconnect from reality and possibly some personal experience with pedos" to the list of criteria.

I hope he got help.
