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!

Good things happen to winners because they're smart and strong. Bad things happen to losers because they're dumb and weak. Bad things happen to winners because the losers cheated. Anything a winner does by definition is not cheating because he's supposed to win.

He has the mentality of a middle school bully from an 80s movie, but he's definitely consistent.

Please. They collectively have to find a spine to stand up to this piece of shit.

Trump backing Hamas (Russian ally) shouldn't surprise anyone.

Proof yet again that they place themselves and their party above sense, security, or national interest.

Why are we still listening to that chucklefuck's comments?

[–] paintbucketholder@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Because he still has a decent chance of becoming President Chucklefuck again and living out his dream of making America a dystopian nightmare under his totalitarian rule.

The breathless, unfiltered reporting of any inanity coming from him is a different issue, though, and it's mostly the media that is to be blamed for it.

Trump is a Russian asset

This is the best summary I could come up with:


At a political rally on Wednesday, Trump said Netanyahu "let us down" before the U.S. killed top Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in 2020, and said Israeli leaders need to "step up their game."

At a Friday morning DeSantis town hall in Merrimack, New Hampshire, a voter said while "there's a lot of people that generally like Trump's policies," they might not be "big fans" of his behavior– and cited his criticism of Netanyahu.

While talking about Israel to reporters in Concord, New Hampshire on Thursday, DeSantis said about Trump, "You may have a personal vendetta or beef with [Netanyahu], but is that really the time to be out here doing that?"

Donald Trump is out of step with the Republican Party, out of touch with the American People, and out of his mind if he thinks that any candidate for president of the United States should praise the terrorists attacking one of our most important allies."

Responding to Trump's remarks, Sen. Tim Scott said the U.S. "cannot accept a single message to any enemies of Israel" that the U.S. and Israeli leaders are at odds, according to the Associated Press.

"While I have been, and remain, deeply critical of the Biden Administration, the moral, tactical, diplomatic and military support that it has provided Israel over the past few days has been exceptional.


The original article contains 1,090 words, the summary contains 223 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

After criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — and praising Hezbollah — Donald Trump posts to Truth Social: “I stand with Israel. I stand with Bibi.”

Don knows he made a mistake

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I have a feeling he didn’t even know what side he was talking about at the time. He recently gloated about how much the fictional character Hannibal loves him…. Dude is just senile at this point.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Or Donnie’s minders do, and are posting whatever they want, since Trump might not know how to read.

They bristled when he talked shit in 2016 and he still won
