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!

We are all now so desensitised to Trump that it can be easy to forget he lacks the ability to string a sentence together. Yet he’s frighteningly close to being back in charge

Ladies, are you DEPRESSED and UNHAPPY? Do you feel POORER and LESS HEALTHY than you did four years ago? Do you pray one day your little woman brain will NO LONGER BE THINKING ABOUT ABORTION all the time? Well, don’t worry, Donald Trump is going to FIX ALL OF THAT.

So he says, anyway. At 11.42pm on Friday night Trump flexed his fingers, hit the all-caps key, and ranted on Truth Social about how UNHAPPY women are under the Biden administration. What happened at 11.41pm to prompt this, I wonder? Did he get a preview of some new polls which show him trailing Kamala Harris, partly thanks to a historic gender gap that sees Harris leading among women 58% to 37%? Did Trump decide, in his infinite wisdom, that the best way to fix this was an all-caps rant? Because I am not sure that is a winning strategy.

I wonder why women would be "more depressed and unhappy than they were four years ago", and "less optimistic and confident in the future than they were four years ago"? Might it possibly have something to do with what his women-hating appointees have done in the last four years? No, must be Biden's fault. /s

Apart from, you know, everything else, I find it remarkable that he's not actually addressing women, but writing about them in the third person.
As if he was saying "Men, vote for me, and I'll make your women happy again." That women have agency themselves simply doesn't occur to him.

He is a serial rapist so that is about as on-brand as it gets.

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 10 points 1 month ago

He’s telling men their women are safe from aborting their children or leaving them. Pretty soon we’ll see laws about rape forgiveness if the man agrees to marry the woman, without her consent of course.

Y'know he has a great relationship with the blacks

Is his caps lock key broken

Also I can't get over the "ReTruths" counter lmao

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Someone sent this to truth social instead of the teleprompter. Though I always figured his teleprompter was just showing pictures of various bullshit he wants to rant about.

It has to be pictures since Trunp can't read.

Bruh. I would have never noticed that, so thanks for bringing it up. 5.21k does look like a “biglier” number than 5,210 if you’re a fucking idiot I guess.

[–] NoNotLikeThat@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Ronald Reagan was a super shitty president, and we're still dealing with the ramifications of his administration. Trump can fuck right off with his bullshit and all-caps "mentally-stable genius" rants. He needs a locked padded room and a therapist.

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's either "with the states" or "with powerful exceptions," you can't dictate both.

But his base is too dumb to understand. I'm actually kind of shocked the Overton window has shifted enough that "powerful exceptions" are in the Republican position.
