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!

Felons inciting violence; seems like that should be a crime.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

But, but, he is WHITE! You cannot incarcerate a white man just because he committed some crimes!

/s, in case it is still needed.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

If you're not rich and/or otherwise privileged, it actually is even if you HAVEN'T already committed a felony, let alone several!

I’ll NEVER give up.

I’LL NEVER SURRENDER! ...

Oh fuck no he did not just commandeer Galaxy Quest. It's on like Donkey Kong, motherfucker.

He should face a life sentence for treason. The fact that he doesn't shows how weak this country has become. Every supporter should be tried with aiding and a betting an enemy of the state. Aka treason. Start executing the law and people will start acting like it matters.

The law is just a means of controlling the peons. It’s their weapon to wield against us, not the other way around.

Trump: You have merely adopted the dark, I was born into it.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He's been unhinged from day one and it never bothered his supporters. To assume they'll suddenly decide "oh this is too much unhingedness, I'll stop supporting him now" is just wishful thinking.

Indeed, for the depraved deplorables, this is not a bug, but a feature. Some of them will even tell you, to your face, that they hope that donnie gives them a permission structure to kill their enemies.

People who believe those emails also believe in flat earth, vaccines cause 5G, Covid was a hoax, no one knows how magnets work, and that Alex Jones is the only one keeping the frogs straight with his dick pills. Nothing anyone can say to them will work because they don’t even understand kindergarten level logic and science. When he loses, trump should just Jim Jones the lot, they’ll do it willingly after sending him money.
