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!

"Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on," Trump said of the tariffs during an interview with ABC News that aired Tuesday.

And you can't really argue with that.

Oh my God, the leopards can speak!!!

One of the few times I agree with this flatulent.

If you lie so much you'll have trouble keeping your story straight, and eventually make a mistake and drop a few truths in there somewhere

a qoute from a ds9 character, you never tell the same lie twice.

But that's just something he overheard from one of his customers. After all, he is just a simple tailor.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

They did vote for him. Too bad most of his voters will hurt the most

This is why I think Trump stickers next to prices should say, "You did this." He not only won't except blame for anything but he'll gladly shift blame to the people he's hurting the most.

Congrats, you voted to become poorer.

Maybe this will wake up these MAGA morons to pay attention to policy and not culture war manipulation when they vote? Doubt it, but here’s to hope.

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Ask any trump voter why they voted for trump. They will say "because I like his policies more". Ask them which policy do they think will benefit them, they will have no answer.

[–] Archer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

The policy they like but can’t say out loud is white supremacy

[–] ToadOfHypnosis@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

It is baffling how behind him they are for as little they can coherently articulate why.

I doubt they are able to connect surging prices with the Trump tariffs. According to Trump, it’s Biden’s fault, and that’s all they need to hear.

[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Eventually he farts out a truth... You got what you voted for. It's just the many morons that voted didn't understand tariffs, basic human decency, or that fascism=bad.

Given the way voters and non voters work, it’s pretty clear that there was a huge number how voted or de facto voted for him.

Other than him bragging about rigging the election, anyways.
