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!

The general rule of transparency is to make you look good and strong, not like a feeble-minded limp dick.

IT ISN'T A CEASEFIRE UNLESS ALL PARTIES SIGN IT.

Wouldn’t it be more useful and/or timely to call them directly instead of posting on social media?

Trump believes he, as leader of America, speaks for all 201 countries that aren't directly part of the war between Israel and Iran, quote: "upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World." VP Vance claims he knows more about Iran's current nuclear situation than anyone else, quote: "Iran is incapable of building a nuclear weapon with the equipment they have because we destroyed it."

I cannot stress enough that I want the US government to fuck off and never interfere with other countries' matters that don't concern them, and to stop acting as the world police. The US is somehow becoming more delusional.

I'm going to count to 3, and I want everyone to do a ceasefire! 1. 2. 2 and a half. 2 and three quarters. I mean it!

You don't have to sign your tweets.

Signed everyone. 2007.

Looks like he's feeling the sting of being ignored and has to pump himself up in an attempt to get the world to pay him attention.

So this is what a grown man throwing a tantrum looks like.

Same as his first term.

I guess truth social is now an "official channel" for international diplomacy. What a brave new world we live in

European leaders are still stuck on X, says enough about them too.

This dumb fuck really though he could bomb Iran and it would bring peace to the middle east, you just gave Israel the ball and they're gonna run with it.

He needs to go chill in a bunker.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He was told it would. He was dumb enough to go OK. He didn't imagine this scenario.

please tell me this is not real...

[–] [email protected] 91 points 4 days ago (9 children)

Oh it's true, it's damn true.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Now, I'm against war, but I would implore both countries to do the opposite of whatever this fucktard says out of spite.

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

He said his name and position at the end in all caps.

You know he's being serious.

God help everyone if he starts to count to 3

He might even turn the car around.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The first two are like he's trying to manifest it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

He thinks it's a king's decree.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I actually don't think he's manifesting it, I think he's narcissistically deluded and thinks if he says it then the sheer power of the U.S. Presidency (owned and subjugated to Donald J. Trump) will force them to stop. And then when they don't, he's pretty much having a mental break.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago

What a shitshow. 🍿

[–] [email protected] 70 points 4 days ago (6 children)

God it's worse than I thought. It reads like he's lost his mind.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Trump after he gets Trump'd. A singular leopard eating another leopards face.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 days ago

Same as it ever was.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago

That would require he had it once to get lost
