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!

I bet this more subdued dark blue suit looked black when he looked at it in the closet next to all of his other tacky bright blue suits.

Oh come on, tan suit again? You're better than this, people

No, most of Trump's supporters are idiots so you have to point out every miniscule little fuck up otherwise they will think that Trump is amazing.

Yes, it's inconsequential, but if you don't make a fuss about it Republicans will think he is infallible.

He's like school in the summer time. No class.

Funerals are for the family. Not the dead person. You won’t care because you’re dead, I’m sure his close friends and relatives cared quite a bit.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

As he is an embarrasment all the time, he was just in character to the popes funeral. Just keep in mind that he uses makeup like a mad clown, so dressing up like one is just fitting.

I hate trump but I would wear a bright red shirt with Satan on it to the popes funeral

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

OTOH, maybe the Vatican shouldn't have invited the Antichrist to a pope's funeral.

A fair old chunk of the crowd were in bright red frocks and silly hats.

Don't we have bigger problems than his suit color?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Exactly, like did he even say thank you?

No, not really.

Very much apropos when we just had this fat fuck and his couch fucking buddy go all deranged about some other guy not wearing a proper suit at a formal event. Also it's a fucking funeral that literally had a dress code.

“But the blue suit is MY BRAND!”

[–] altphoto 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When I die I won't give a single fuck what people who go to my funeral wear.

I'm not defending the guy. I'm just accusing the church of being the other side. Assholes on both sides. I hope my exercised freedom of speech doesn't ruffle feathers. I don't have a suit myself.

I remember when John Paul died and we got Ratzinger Z who was promptly removed for sexual stuff. So I might live to see 4 popes! What a time to be alive! 4 popes. Most people I know are also 3 popes old and pushing for 4.

Funerals are not for the dead, they're for the living experiencing grief in the wake of a loss.

Yeah, so I sure as fuck don't want people telling anyone nice enough to come to my funeral that they wore the wrong color suit. Make fun of Trump and the fascists whose voters hopefully will be as annoyed at this. But don't trouble the rest of us about it.
