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!

The general rule of transparency is to make you look good and strong, not like a feeble-minded limp dick.

God it's worse than I thought. It reads like he's lost his mind.

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 41 points 20 hours ago

Same as it ever was.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 15 points 17 hours ago

WTF? A "friendly plane wave?" By bombers? Who told him that's a thing? That's not a thing.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 20 hours ago

That would require he had it once to get lost

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

He has dementia, he has no mind anymore..

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 7 points 20 hours ago

Trump after he gets Trump'd. A singular leopard eating another leopards face.

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 26 points 21 hours ago

What a shitshow. 🍿

[–] xyzzy@lemm.ee 24 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

The first two are like he's trying to manifest it

[–] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 21 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

I actually don't think he's manifesting it, I think he's narcissistically deluded and thinks if he says it then the sheer power of the U.S. Presidency (owned and subjugated to Donald J. Trump) will force them to stop. And then when they don't, he's pretty much having a mental break.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 10 points 20 hours ago

He thinks it's a king's decree.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 19 points 20 hours ago

Lol, friendly "Plane Wave". He's such a fucking child.

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

TF is a "Plane Wave"? Google leads me to physics papers and articles which I'm pretty sure is not what he meant.

[–] lividweasel@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Probably when you quickly roll the plane a small amount left and right, waggling the wings up and down and acting as a wave to those on the ground.

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

I see, that makes more sense. Though I assume nobody on the ground would see it considering the distance and speed most modern planes go at.

[–] ShadowRam@fedia.io 9 points 20 hours ago

He said his name and position at the end in all caps.

You know he's being serious.

God help everyone if he starts to count to 3

He might even turn the car around.

[–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 20 hours ago

Now, I'm against war, but I would implore both countries to do the opposite of whatever this fucktard says out of spite.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Don’t you know by now? It’s always true. The pee tape is real.
