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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Donald Trump said Saturday that he offered the White House press secretary job to Dana White, but a source familiar with the matter says the Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO declined the unorthodox idea.

Trump has struggled to find someone to fill a crucial position that he is personally invested in — a matter that has only become more important after Democrats won control of Congress and pledged to investigate his administration.

Omg this is hilarious. It even says "Ms. White" right there.

On the anniversary of the Four Seasons Landscaping fiasco too!

Pretty sure it was this Dana White and Trumps smooth brain went to UFC. https://www.danawwhite.com/

Funniest fucking news story of the week. So far.

[–] historicaldocuments@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

I fully expect that when the dems get more investigative powers in January that we'll find out how many more of these kinds of things we're living through right now. There won't be many situations simpler than this one, though (assuming that mistakes were made here).

Man, that would have been hilarious, and likely killed off the UFC.

That guy's a giant piece of shit

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 11 points 17 hours ago

a giant piece of shit indeed... but with more common sense than the orange pedophilic turd

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

Joe Rogan should do it. He can go been to being a mediocre comedian

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 19 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t understand why the stable genius just doesn’t do it himself.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago

I know, right? The moron seems to looooove doing chopper talk.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 hours ago

I read another article title that just had the name without the organization they work with and thought it was the Wheel of Fortune lady

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

Real missed opportunity for some comedy gold

[–] vegeta@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Try Alex Jones next

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 3 points 14 hours ago

Clown shit. El Sayed would bust Dana Nessel's ass in a fight by the way.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Press Sec. Is like harrenhal. Tis a cursed position.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Probably doesn't want to be under investigation later...

[–] medicsofanarchy@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Subscribers to Loser Social will see posts from Trump saying, "On further Reflection, I don't think he'd have been Great for the Job and I Asked Him to Refuse."

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 2 points 17 hours ago

So contrary to his persona, he isn't completely brain dead?

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

Big fat loser doesn’t want to be more exposed as a big fat loser?
