Putin's yogurt slinger is so far up Trump's ass, if Donny said "awww," you'd catch the money shot on your chest.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Wait what?
It's great to be still getting 2016 news in 2025. You guys are all like "the media had no attention span"
/s
So in reality the headline is that almost half of Americans thinks this is fine.
So 75 percent of republicans think this is fine
Meatloaf said that 3 out of 4 ain't bad.
Krasnov Trump has yet to raise sanction even after putin rejects immediate ceasefire.
I really think American brains have given up.
Jaysus. 12% of this country thinks that we should control Gaza for tourism.
And the other ideas, JFC. They are even higher. WTF.
I mean, it's like no one fucking remembers Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan? What about Russia's Afghanistan, or FFS, their experience with Ukraine right now? I mean, even forgetting about the morality of it, these things tend not to work out.
I mean, it’s like no one fucking remembers Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan?
Apparently not, I have seen MAGAites seriously advocating for an invasion of Mexico or advocating for an invasion of Iran.
I used to joke about invading Mexico about a decade ago because of how preposterous it was. My family really thought it was a good idea then, and they have gone full MAGA since.
I recently replayed the story of GTA5, and some of the jokes they were making in 2013 are reality now. "Invading Canada for water" comes to mind, and the "detained illegal immigrants using their one phone call to call their home country to warn people to stay the fuck out of the US because it's worse here" also hits kinda hard.
Wait... Didn't the same idiots argue the 2 candidates were equivalent? Getting some strange messaging from the us recently...
/s because people like to pick fights on things they don't understand
Do our brains run exclusively on Internet Explorer or something?
Ya don’t fuckin say.
Jesus fuck my contrymen are soft in the head in a statistically significant fashion considering they’re this slow on the uptake.
I won’t give my own opinion on this (I will only get downvoted to oblivion and many already know my opinion). What I will say is, was this not obvious?
'the system is broken'
'the candidates are equivalent'
'i have no good choice, so I must make none'
'a war is happening that I don't agree with, and I won't vote because my feels, even if the other guy said he'd destroy my country'
'...'
Idiots.
All of this. So much this. It's infuriating. It's even more infuriating when so many of them are even still so fucking pious about their terrible take. I mean, those with magabrain were going to be stupid and vote for this, everyone knows that. It's the people that should know better, but just have to be contrarians for funsies and self-bestowed moral brownie points that are nearly as bad.
I've been disappointed lately to see how many of these (useful) idiots are still here on Lemmy peddling this bullshit. I can't tell if they're in denial, or if they just never believed any of it in the first place.
Shit is infuriating.
this is one of those polls where I'm deeply concerned that the number of worried americans is not much much higher.
Because it's effectively a referendum on where we wanna sit on the world stage
Cold War: Another L
Good time to be worried now, after you voted his ass into office.
It's not like he hid it.
Biggest case of buyers remorse, …eeevar!
My takeaway is the republicans are the 'do something's people and the Dems are more the hippie 'say something' people. The former voters fall in line come election time, but let the politicians say all kinds of shit, but the latter voters complain and virtue signal a lot, but expect someone else to do the 'doing' part. Only the latter politicians aren't doing much, so it's all hot air top to bottom.
I want to believe, but so long as 'the right people' are getting hurt, the average trumpanzee will be too busy cheering to notice they're locked in the same gas chamber.
There's some buyer's remorse for sure, but I don't think it's nearly as prevalent as it's sometimes indicated.
Twice!
