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!

Yeah, uh-huh. Let me know when he has a stroke. Anything short of that and the right won't even acknowledge that it happened. Even then they'll say it was a liberal conspiracy to poison him.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 132 points 6 months ago (3 children)

He's had a series of mini-strokes though. We know it because he tweeted that he didn't have them.

This reminds me of how when COVID was starting to hit the news I wasn't at all nervous about it until he got on and said we had no reason to be nervous about it

“It’ll be gone by Easter”

Cue me, moving to the woods

This is 100% true and it's so funny that I just want to cry in a corner.

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 months ago

Same. Goddamn that was so spot on.

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 27 points 6 months ago (3 children)

They would still vote for him and say it’s a conspiracy as he’s not really dead. He’s just chilling with Elvis in a CIA bunker or something.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 16 points 6 months ago

That's fine, they can all vote for a corpse that can't hold office.

Hey - hey member that time when the Qanuts all went down to Dealy Plaza to watch JFK Jr. appear back in the land of the living so he could run as VP for trump? Member?

Oh man. Such incredible dipshits. Look! Look!

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think the Feds should probably use facial recognition on footage of crowds like that and keep tabs. Just sayin'. If they are going to spy on Quakers and vegans, the least they could do with overreach is spy on groups that are likely tied into terrorist cells.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

And yet they don’t . . . Just the Quakers and vegans. now why would that be? Hmmmmmmm

There would be a group that says he's not dead, a group that says he is dead and coming back, and a group that says he's been reincarnated.

And then, in the far future, scientists will wonder why we switch from a lowercase t to an uppercase T.
