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!

He sure seems to be ignorant of a lot of critically fucking important things within his own party/cabinet. I should want someone with slightly more curiosity and awareness if I seriously expect them to handle being the president of the goddamned united states.

Only one thing matters to Trump: Trump. Everything and everyone else is disposable.

I can almost guarantee you trump doesn't remember who that is or why he should or shouldn't support him.

Will probably be a, "never heard of him... Though I wish him well."

Strange trend with Donnie when he's trying to distance himself from someone he definitely knows. Like Ghislaine Maxwell.

How does one forget about "MLK on steroids"?

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Eh.....I'm willing to bet that he said that because Mark Robinson is black.

Not because he's any sort of civil rights activist.

hell, given this political cycle I barely remember who that is. "The guy from fifty horrifying headlines ago" doesn't stick around as much as you'd hope, at a certain age...

"We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor"

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children."

edit these are random MLK Jr. quotes you loonies

Simply quoting great leaders, does not a great leader make. This is especially true when the person being quoted would would be furious to be associated with the person saying the quote. Dr. King spoke out for equal rights for all. Mark Robinson bizarrely advocates for slavery. These two men are not the same. The downvotes are for Mark Robinson.
