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!

INDIANOLA, Iowa (AP) — Donald Trump implored his supporters Sunday to brave frigid temperatures and deliver him a decisive victory in Monday’s Iowa caucuses, saying their vote would help bring to Washington the retribution he has repeatedly promised if he returns to the White House.

I don't make a habit of wishing for the death of others, but this country would be much better off with a good run by the cold, flu, and Covid making a run through his supporters...

This is what I wish for him:

his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.

I keep saying heart disease could do the world a favor and get itself some good PR by taking him out.

All this does is reinforce my choice to vote for Biden. And I don’t like Biden, but Trump is too much a bigger giant douche to Biden’s turd sandwich.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I think that's a little harsh for Biden. I'd say he's more of a mayonnaise sandwich. Some ingredients are fine but it's overall severely lacking.

It's a reference to a South Park episode about the two party system.

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 16 points 10 months ago

It hasn't aged well, in all honesty. Both sides are decidedly not the same, as the joke implies.

[–] Mamertine@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

I'm familiar with that episode. I still like the mayo sandwich analogy. No one really wants it, but you know it's technically edible.

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

I like your analogy better! Thank you!!

These voters would all happily clean up after their dear leader cucked them. Subservient losers.

[–] GardenVarietyAnxiety@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He says he'll slay the beast, when in reality he just wants to control it...

Seriously, how fucking stupid does someone have to be to vote for him. He is saying over and over he will have to be impeached on day 1. He keeps saying he will violate the constitution and people are going to act like oh they just want to impeach him because they don't like him. No. He will have to be for violations of the constitution. Whoever runs for vice president for the GOP will be the president if he wins. And they will have to find a vice president again. Giant waste of time and resources

[–] kzhe@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Do you really think that he would be impeached and convicted even after violating the Constitution?

I want to know what they make those white collars out of... self-bleaching teflon?

[–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

this man is getting more orange by the day!

Gosh it would be nice if they could mail in their vote. Watch the weather ultimately be what kills his chances.
