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!

I’ve seen what they think is 100,000 people. They must think Harris crowds are a billion!

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

A million mom's,

A couple orders of magnitude.

You mean compared to his very small ones... Full of people who don't actually love him, the way his dad didn't love him... The way he doesn't love Tiffany?

I would not put it beneath weirdo Trump or his bizarre campaign to pay actors/extras to fill the stands

[–] boatswain@infosec.pub 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

As soon as he gets that idea, he'll start talking about how Kamala is paying actors to be in her audience.

Rule 45. If Trump blames someone else for it, he is probably doing it himself. Also known as projection.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

Exactly this. Trump accusations are always confessions.

😅 oops, at least I tried to be clever

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

Well, Trump is a dick

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Assuming he wouldn’t just stiff them on the bill

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

I'll have you know the Trump campaign mailed my father in law a whole real dollar to get him to donate $50 (or more) to their campaign.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

That would be projection so he will certainly say it.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Tiny crowds for Tiny Hands McGee. Very low energy. Very sad.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Reads like modest mouse lyrics XD

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 50 points 3 months ago

I'm simply loving these headlines. Really does bring joy to the campaign, lol

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.world 41 points 3 months ago

Trump later claimed that he may have drawn more supporters on Jan. 6, 2021 than “Martin Luther King when he did his speech.”

  1. Lol, No. And
  2. Make sure you remind people about January 6th as often as possible, Donald. You know, the day you tried to overthrow the government. You absolute idiot.

This guy is just rocking back and forth in the fetal position in the corner, mumbling over and over the complete delusions that he "has the bigger crowds", that he has "the highest IQ", that "Kamala isn't black", that he "won the last election", that he's "always right about everything", that he was the "best president in history", that he "knows everything better than anyone else", that "everyone who is against him wants to destroy the country"...

Just put him in a padded cell already. He'd fit right in.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 3 months ago

I don't get him. During his inauguration, he had "alternate facts" that said he had the biggest in US Parks history, despite them never having taken attendance. The biglyest.

Where are those alternate facts now?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 23 points 3 months ago

Cry more, weirdo

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Gotta say it.....

Size, matters

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 3 months ago

In private, Trump has recently taken to griping about the media attention the Harris 2024 (now Harris-Walz 2024) rally sizes have been receiving, and at times insisting a number the Harris campaign has put out must be “fake,” the source and another person familiar with the matter say. Publicly, he’s similarly making his displeasure very clear.

Serial liars are prone to thinking everyone else must be lying too.

Trump only has one rally scheduled this week, in Montana on Friday. During a rally at Georgia State University in Atlanta last week, he bashed school administrators for not allowing more people into the venue, claiming that “thousands of people were told no.”

The Trump campaign itself said 600 people — not thousands — were denied entry, according to Reuters, which reported that the crowd was “thinning out noticeably” as Trump spoke.

See? What'd I just say.

Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies is starting to see that he isn't as liked as he thinks he is. It's really eating at him because he's getting his ass kicked, and outclassed by an intelligent woman who is black.

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 5 points 3 months ago

I'm no doctor, but as I understand it, there's a strong correlation with crowd size and penis size. 🍆 ⤴ /s
