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 president, who in 2020 suggested an injection of “disinfectant” could be used to fight COVID, compared the size of needles used on infants with those used for horses.

Tell me you never took one of your children to the doctor without saying you never took one of your children to the doctor.

Although, I don't know. Maybe vets use very small needles on horses.

Edit: I forgot to add, President Pedophile

Damn anti vax moms took all the ivermectin for my horses and now they all got worms

What is with all the Trump doorway interviews?

I get the impression his handlers were doing their best to shove him through the door, but he refused cause he needed to yell at a windmill again.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

He's got dementia. He goes on weird rants about things that not only never happened but things that can't happen. Because that's a hallmark of dementia.

So they keep shoving him through doors before he can get started, and they fail a lot.

He’s keeping away from open windows.

[–] relativestranger@feddit.nl 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

is this a recent thing? maybe he's just a little skittish and scared and needs a quick exit close by these days for some reason.

I keep seeing clips over the last few months of him being interviewed by reporters as he stands in a doorway, maybe he worries about earthquakes

It's a little known, long-held tradition that presidents, going back to Lincoln, are vampire hunters.

Some actively protect their constituents, while others stand in doorways, flirting with The Lost Boys rules.

I watched that bootleg and still liked it.

The roof is getting reshingled.

Yeah he always tired on Mondays. Just give him a couple of days and he will back full speed on the road to facsists dystopia.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Just get back to Dr. Jackson's pep-me-up vitamin regimen.
