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!

Why sunbathe when you can smear Orange shit all over your face and 'fool' people into thinking you aren't an undead ghoul- Donald Trump

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 hours ago

Nuh-uh, bet you can't.

I would prefer it if they start with Thiel and the shadow cabinet first, then work their way towards the least competent member of the Project 2025 cabal. Fear would become Trump's shadow, and US officials would be more likely to handle Iranian affairs in good faith.

They would nuke (whoever they think is behind the assassinations) first. That's why nobody will do a thing. They are crazy enough to do it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Some part of me expects Trump to order Zohran to be nuked, if he is elected as mayor and resists federal misconduct.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

They wouldn't, the world has changed since the cold wars

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago

I wouldn’t even bat an eye. You do you, boo.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 hours ago

lol, big talk. I'll believe it when I see it.

Unrelated, my favorite TV show is the X-Files.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

Well done it. Liberate the people

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 hours ago

Betcha can’t!

$40m isn't worth much if the only places you could spend it are not nice

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

It sure would be a shame if some idiot told the SEC to stop regulating crypto.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

I'd play that hitman elusive target mission.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago

Don't threaten us with a good time

[–] [email protected] 27 points 12 hours ago

Exploding golf ball.

Please.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 12 hours ago

Why would you try to make people picture that? Forget nukes, Iran has Level-4 Cognitohazards

[–] [email protected] 77 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Bullshit, I don't believe this man sunbathes.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 hours ago

That’s what makes it so easy. Just pull a Mossad but with bronzer shipments.

Why you think Trump wants everything made in the USA at all costs?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago

But his face is always so tan?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Thats ridiculous. Its so imporbable that if they did it would be definite proof that allah is the one true god and I totally know that aint so just like them. So they can't do it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I thought allah was the same god christians worship

Do it, you fucking cowards!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

I wonder if he secretly does sun tan or use a tanning bed and this is Iran letting Trump know that he’s not safe.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 13 hours ago

Don't threaten us with a good time, fellas.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

Guys, I hate to be the disagreeable one here but counterpoint…maybe they mean while THEY are sunbathing, like it would be easy peasy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Can talk the talk, but let's see you walk the walk.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Really anyone can, since the SS let a teenager take a shot on him...
