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!

>Third-party fringe candidate who gets less than 1% of the vote having dinner with Putin, Trump's national security advisor who was later arrested for lying to the FBI about his ties to Russia, and several major Russian political figures before an election in which Russian interference provably helped Trump win.
>The US president acting in an official capacity and meeting with the leader of a major world power.
"They're the same picture."
Boy, ~~Russian bots~~ Jill Stein stans are really tripping over each other to see who's the biggest, dumbest idiot, aren't they?
Willie Wimmer is spouting some pro invasionist nationalistic bs on all the fringe media since he left Bundestag.
So we have a fine assortment of people here.
Yeah, interesting that the supposedly left-leaning Stein sits next to an openly right-wing nationalist conspiracy nutjob whose last book title was:
Third-party fringe candidate who gets less than 1% of the vote
President of the United States, who got over 51% of the vote
God damn, who is going to have more influence over national policy I wonder?
The SCOTUS recently decided a president can't be held liable for acts committed in official capacity as a means of shielding the Cheeto-in-Chief from any and all criminal liabilities. It appears some folks on Lemmy are piling on board with this reasoning, so long as they can use it to shield Genocide Joe. A democrat could shoot a man on fifth avenue in broad daylight, and you'd see people on here defend it.
Really proving Technician's point with that hot-take.
Reactionaries gonna reactionary.
Got caught spewing incomparable pictures and childish responses?
Are Jill Stein and Tankies the same? Just asking questions....
Fascist speak strikes again. Lemmy's really taken a downturn since the last Reddit exodus.
You make no sense. The phrase has no connection nor intent in alliance with fascism. You showcase exactly what people are trying to point out and yet again, your only come back is a childish remark about some reddit exodus and in doing so trying to place yourself above others. Your message, if you have one that is, is lost due to your superiority complex.
Try reading slower. Maybe focus on the smaller words.
Irrational hatred of third parties, driven by memes and fanatical devotion to a single party, showcase more than I could ever hope to.
Truth is treason in the empire of lies.
Yep, superiority complex it is...
Wow. You really don't see the irony in that sentence, do you?
Woof. Really need to crack a dictionary, brother.
Quick, someone said "irony" and nobody knows what that is! I'll vaguely point at a non-specific dictionary as if they were wrong, and therefore I won the debate.
Happens more often than you'd like to think.
You mean the bit where you vaguely point at a non-specific dictionary as if they were wrong, and therefore won the debate? Maybe you should stop doing that and people will downvote you less.
I guess I'm so old that I assume Merriam-Webster is unspoken default. Do you have a different dictionary that you prefer?
There are literally like 10 different major dictionaries. If you have one specific one in mind, I'll kindly refer you to OneLook.com
Merriam-Webster.
Although the definitions overlap heavily, so you're not pegged to that one.
Yes, you really do.
Idiots gonna sound REALLY idiotic.
Funny that you took that 5th avenue example right from your dear leader talking about his followers, you.
Why do you people assume history started in 2016? That saying is over a century old.
I would need a source on that, my search shows blank.
It doesn't matter though, since it's still ironic that you say it now as an argument when your dear leader has said it about you, and your comments just prove that he was right and that you don't care about facts, but are deep into the cult and would do everything for him.
Classic projection, but quite the dumb approach.
Going with the "I'm rubber and you're glue" defense.
