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!

And she never will

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 21 points 3 months ago

There's a non-zero chance Trump will call them "losers". Maybe not right now, but sometimes in the future.

And probably won't ever, because Trump doesn't like people who "lose".

[–] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Those are suckers and losers in Trump's rotten brain.

I would like to state unequivocally that the wife of the Trump supporter that got shot at the Trump rally is not a crisis actor.

Something something leopards something face

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

No shit. Why would you expect that?

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So basically don't stand behind that guy or you're just a disposable human shield 🛡️.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Less of a shield and more of a backstop in this case

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

He hasn’t heard from her either….(because of the ear)

[–] Loce@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

I'm shocked. SHOCKED!!

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I hope she’s not surprised.

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

Imagine how his family feels..

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What are chances that he's called Sleepy Joe in her contacts list?

[–] PassingThrough@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Y’know, that does put a thought in my head.

How do you know the President is calling? If I saw a caller ID saying anything like that I’m going to assume spam. Unknown DC number, also spam.

Does an aide come to my door and hand me a phone, or warn me that the next call is official?

Otherwise of course I missed the call, guess the President gets to leave a voicemail! And we can play telephone tag with his staff until there’s another moment in his day…?

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You can make the caller ID say whatever you want. It probably says "White House", and, you know, it doesn't take a Biden voter to figure that one out.

[–] PassingThrough@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

“White House”

“Neat, more spam….wonder what they’d try to get me with this time, send gift cards to save the country? Wait, no, that’s not a thing…could it be the actual White House?!?!?…Too late.” 😂

Maybe I’m just in the generation so burned out in spam and junk calls that it’s just me, but that’s about how I think that would go.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah I'm with you, I don't answer any calls unless it's a known contact that I've put in the my contacts list. Any other callers can leave a voicemail if it's important (and it very frequently isn't).

[–] thr0w4w4y2@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

an aide on the other end of the phone will greet you and then advise they are transferring you to speak to the president.

RNC already co-opted his death so they got a martyr out of it anyway.
