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’s $10 billion lawsuit against a British broadcaster has hit a surprise twist that may not sit well with the president.

The BBC has reportedly requested that Trump, 80, hand over his phone records and private schedules from around the time of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, according to The Telegraph.

Trump is suing the British broadcaster, claiming it defamed him by “intentionally, maliciously, and deceptively” editing two parts of his Jan. 6, 2021, speech to make it seem as though he had encouraged his supporters to storm the Capitol.

Dear diarrhea.
Today went to shit so much that I crapped myself...multiple times.
I wanted to illegally stay in power by inciting a riot, but almost everyone else wanted to do things correctly.
The good news is some poor people died so, hahahaha, suckers and losers.

The guy who changes my poopypants was taken off me when Sleepy Joe took over, so not only do I look like the back end of a long time dead horse but I also smell like one.

Why are people so mean to me?

I wish my bestie Jeffrey was still alive. He'd know of a few 'little' ways to lift my spirits. Make me 'feel very young again', if you know what I mean? ...
...
What I'm saying, diarrhea, is that he'd have a few little boys and girls for me to rape. Just like the good old days.
I deffo shouldn't have had him killed!! Oh well, I bet Elon can help.

That's if I don't get arrested. I don't know what to do now, should I make a run for it? I want to go to Russia but my boss, Vlad, says I've got to stick it out. Why oh why did I let him video me sucking Bubba and getting pissed on by those very young 'prostitutes'?

Anyways better sign off now, I'm planning on stealing a boxes and boxes of top secret documents to sell to hostile countries, lol. Double lol is that they are so secret that most people would get thrown in prison for even touching them but, fortunately for me, no fucker has any balls to ever do anything to me for stealing them. I'll probably stack them in an unlocked room right next to a fax machine so it's easy to copy and send.

Well yours poopily,
Donvict P.D.O Drumpf.

For Americans: in the UK, a diary is your personal calendar, not a daily journal of your thoughts

Trump's thought:

Dear diary,

Dear diary,

Dear diary,

Correct grammar, no capitals - this is clearly fake news

[–] spaghettiwestern@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

"Diary" is often used the same way in the U.S., especially in business/government organizations.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Ah interesting! I've met a few Americans over the years that have been a bit confused by my usage of the term

My understanding was the conventional usage of the word meant the kind a kid keeps over there

Seeing some of the comments here it seems your posted definition was needed.

[–] Anonymous_Leaker@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I was wondering lol, I thought he kept a diary like the little girl he is.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

He did probably keep a diary of the little girls he did.

You are what you rape.

[–] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

lol he wears makeup and keeps a diary he is such a teenage girl

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

You mean he is trans wannabe?

That'd be hilarious if he hadn't caused so much suffering to trans people

[–] spaghettiwestern@sh.itjust.works 87 points 12 hours ago

He'll initially claim presidential privilege and when that doesn't work quietly drop the lawsuit. News organization can't be successfully sued for publishing the truth.

Same thing goes for calling the pedophile and child rapist a pedophile and child rapist.
