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!

~~lol. This will piss Trump off so much.~~

Edit: This story is over a year old. Come on OP.

It'd be a darn shame if he cut off weapons to Israel over this disrespect.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 14 points 2 days ago

Honestly, that would be fucking hilarious

If literal genocide wasn't enough, I doubt this will be.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Which do you think upsets Donald Trump more: genocide or a personal slight?

[–] BearGun@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 day ago

As if he cares the slightest about genocide

I've heard trump really looks up to dictators, probably looks up to elon.

I added [2023] to the title like 30 seconds to a minute after posting but it seems it was very slow to federate for some reason

Netanyahu is just upset that he's been replaced as president of the US.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 20 points 2 days ago

Someone wake Biden up, he might be upset at this.

Did my earlier edit not federate? I added that to the title almost immediately after posting

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 10 points 2 days ago

I takes varying amounts of time for edits to reach different instances.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Makes me wonder who owns Netanyaho

[–] pfm@scribe.disroot.org 2 points 23 hours ago

Net-and-Yahoo!

[–] LodeMike 2 points 1 day ago

Last time I checked it was the U.S. Military Industrial Complex.

[–] Linktank 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So, he's a little slow then?

We all knew this already.

To quote ImPastaSyndrome: 2023

Hey we'll take it. When you have someone who's not the president controlling the president, that's not a Democracy. And it's good to be reminded of that fact on a regular basis.
