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!

Donald Trump ripped into Iran and Israel for violating a ceasefire deal within hours of his triumphant announcement.

“You basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f--- they’re doing! Do you understand that?” he told reporters Tuesday morning on his way to the NATO summit in The Hague.

The 12 Day War cease fire ended in 12 Hours.

I would not characterize this as a meltdown, it's just an unhinged guy going on and on about "MSDNC" (MSNBC) and fake news and how awesome the B-2 pilots are and how it was "dark with no moon" for the Iran bombing (as if that fuckin matters for modern weapons systems) and so on and so forth.

They want to make him sound crazy (which he is) but come on, there are actual real problems to deal with, which are masked a little by calling this particular episode a meltdown. So he said the word fuck, who cares

He throws gas on a fire and doesn’t understand why it keeps burning?

Almost like the US hasn’t done anything fucked up to piss them off for decades…

They shouldn't be allowed to have the age in the title unless he dropped dead.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 10 points 19 hours ago

I'm good with the media constantly reminding people how old he is. He was always dim, and he's getting dimmer.

[–] JonEFive@midwest.social 2 points 19 hours ago

Why? Age is relevant when it comes to political representation.

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

I'm damn tired of how so many in this country just expect us to go along with this FARCE of a presidency.

[–] anarchiddy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 20 hours ago

Say whatever you want about him, that man has the best comedic timing

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 19 hours ago

Oh Donnie, you poor unfortunate bastard. Why does governing have to be so difficult? Sad face and tiny violin.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

"Mission Accomplished"

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 3 points 20 hours ago

So presidential.

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 1 points 18 hours ago

LOL is he an idiot for thinking it mattered if it was dark or am I one for thinking it probably hasn't mattered for at least twenty years? (approx 1:50 timestamp in the embedded video)

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

The Media: "Coming up, more on our top story--Tr*mp's brilliant deal! But first, the latest on Hollywood celebrities who you'll never meet and who don't affect you at all!"
