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 mean, c'mon. At least serve Target steak. Y'know, that crappy company that's a step up from Walmart and turned its back on LGBTQ people because they are cowards.

I feel bad for this stupid idiot who wasted his money on a known conman rapist. If you can't read that level of sarcasm, stop using the internet.

They are all a bunch of trust fund kids spending their parents money.

There really is one born every minute.

No access cause he’s senile, isolated and being manipulated by Stephen Miller et all

They went to a grifter's grift and got grifted, then made Pikachu faces.

Edit: this is directed towards trump supporters like the influencer.

I'm honestly surprised it wasn't a Mcdonalds meal

LOL at the people still trusting that old crook. I'm not even angry at Trump any more. He's clearly off his fucking rocker and just scamming as much as he can like he always does. I'm angry at every member of congress that isn't impeaching him immediately, at every judge not holding him in contempt of court, and at the media for continuing to handle him with kid gloves.

Dumbasses. They thought they were paying a bribe to GET SOMETHING, not just giving money to an addled old worthless shitbag.

Eat your Walmart food. It's what the rest of us have to eat because you parasites exist.

What did you expect? Did you not realize you were being played?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago

Sad thing is he's still jealous of the grift

[–] [email protected] 39 points 21 hours ago

these people really are a conman's dream.

This is the perfect allegorical representation of both the value of memecoins and Trump.

You’re in a cult, you are in a pyramid scheme, you are LARPing being rich/person with power & money. Stop being a fool, you are making yourself an enemy of the state by basic human standards and you will lose so much and you’ll suffer like the rest of us. Wake up.

When exactly did society decide to give the dumbest people on earth, all the money?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

This is the consequence of capitalism and intergenerational wealth

They inherited it from their parents, and because they were rich, they didn't bother getting an education

There’s more to it than that but of course that is a large part of it. We live in a society that prefers to reward a confident idiot to a pensive expert; essentially we reward dunning krueger.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I've got bad news for you about what that says about the rest of us lol.

We were the ones that allowed it to happen. We're all part of society, after all.
