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.

MAJOR VIOLATION

He's forgetting who he works for again.

Good. Make sure he makes all the enemies he can.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

He is so fucking lame

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 4 points 1 hour ago

Oh wait, do you mean he is finally starting to realize Israel is (In this case) the bad guy in the dispute?

PS Yes, yes, yes, I know, Iran isn't "the good guy" in most respects, I mean in the case of this war.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

What a sad, sad man.

Tick tock Trump.

Woah is truth social not an effective way to conduct international relations or something? damn. I guess he'd better try Facebook

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 12 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Whoa, I thought Signal was the go to app for war plans?

regarding that I'm amazed a group of people convinced eachother to use signal. that's actually an impressive feat of diplomacy ever since it stopped providing SMS

"I HAVE SPOKEN!"

"Hey, guys, I have spoken, hear me? Guys? Hey, guys?"

"GODDAMIT, I SAID I'VE SPOKEN, HEAR ME? DO WHAT I SAY! I DEMAND YOU DO WHAT I SAY! HERE'S MY NAME!"

The Art of the Deal, indeed.

Cartman has internal consistency and the ability to finish a thought.

[–] valkyre09@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

He’ll also feed your parents to you if you piss him off

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

There is a difference between demanding respect and commanding respect

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

lol this is like when someone signs their text message as if it’s a letter

[–] JonEFive@midwest.social 10 points 4 hours ago

Trump is a boomer after all

[–] IckabodKobain@feddit.online 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You stop that right now Israel! Sincerely, Donald The President

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Thank you for your deletion to this matter.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 28 points 5 hours ago

Baby’s first diplomatic relations.

And boy is it a magnificent debacle.

Trump is at least consistent - fuck things up, then pause the fuckup to pat himself on his back and demand praise for not fucking things up even more. Then once the news cycle progresses, continue fucking things up even worse. He’s such a master of this fail technique!

(*) Donakd J. Trump.

Or, if you go by his Press Secretary...

President Chump.

She keeps saying Trump as Chump, in official press conferences.

You don't have to sign your tweets.

Signed everyone. 2007.

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 43 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I think he signed this one just to prove that he can spell his own name right.

How bad is the middle east when trump feels like he has to be the adult in the room.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 99 points 7 hours ago (5 children)

I guess truth social is now an "official channel" for international diplomacy. What a brave new world we live in

[–] happydoors@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, seems to be working really well!

There's a lot of stuff we should nationalize, starting with almost everything the DOGE Goblin owns. We paid for it all, it's ours.

[–] a9cx34udP4ZZ0@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

You say that as a joke... I could see Trump hopping on that train. Truth Social - worth at LEAST $200B, which the government will pay direclty to Trump as compensation for making the platform the national social media platform of America.

I'm going to count to 3, and I want everyone to do a ceasefire! 1. 2. 2 and a half. 2 and three quarters. I mean it!

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 14 points 3 hours ago

Everyone watch, he's about to TACO!

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago

Bold assumption that he understands fractions
