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!

"Least accomplished ex-President mocks most accomplished ex-President."

When Trump dies, his grave will make the best toilet ever.

If they give his corpse an enema, they'll be able to bury him in a matchbox.

Donny's just sad he'd never be able to get someone to spend 77 years with him.

Where's Melania?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 56 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I doubt most people can stand to spend 7 minutes with him.

I forgot about Reince Priebus.

Why are all the people he works with so stereotypically evil?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you wrote a b movie and named the cartoonish villain "Reince Priebus," people would complain that it is a stupid name.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sounds like something George Lucas would come up with.

Where’s Melania?

Waiting in the wings for her cash and prizes.

(She might need to consider a Plan B for that.)

77 years is a lot of mooches.

Also, I think you mean Melanie

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

A micromooch is known as a stormy and it's based on how long he lasted inside her.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She passed away this afternoon :/

Next campaign speech: "President Carter's wife... Rosalynn. She died, folks. She died. I never liked her! I like first ladies that don't die like my wife Melania."

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 25 points 1 year ago

Too bad Melania doesn’t like him back.

[–] gullible@kbin.social 63 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Mmm yes, let’s kick one of the last honest politicians in existence while he’s down. That’ll soften your horrific image, big boy.

Republicans rat fucked Carter with Iran Contra. It's Republicans in a nutshell. They have no floor. Can always go lower.

There will be literal celebrations when Donald Trump finally dies.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

He’d better fucking die in a prison cell.

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope he dies of natural causes, after many, many years in jail.

I'm going to read Trump's obituary with champagne.

I hope he chokes on a cheeseburger.

or dies of a stroke taking a shit. I hope they find him with his ass in the air.

It's a party of hatred. When he got elected after mocking that camera man for having a disability, it should have been clear for everyone what the republican party stood for.

I can't wait to hear what offensive shit this asshole will say now that she's died.

Trump makes cavemen look highly civilized.

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago

"Cavemen" had respect for the dead.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago

Lack of technology =/= lack of sophistication.

And hominids were unlikely to use caves as shelters for an extended period of time without working the stone.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Conservatives delight in the suffering and misery of others. This is simply who they are at their core. It is not a trait they can change. They can supress the public expression of this trait when it serves them, but deep inside, they thrive on the knowledge that a vulnerable person is suffering.

Be cautious in your dealings with conservatives. They do not value the lives of people or animals the way a normal person does.

That scumbag will say anything to get attention. The filthier the better, and it seems filth is all he's got left.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Stuff like this is why I consider republicans to be worthless filth.

Trump, criticizing Biden at a rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa, told a crowd of supporters that “the happiest person anywhere in this country right now is Jimmy Carter because his administration looked brilliant compared to these clowns.”

“Compared to Biden, Jimmy Carter was a brilliant, brilliant president,” Trump said.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which is really interesting since Jimmy Carter's presidency was one of the most competent we've had in history. The only reason anybody shits on it is because of the smear job the republicans and the Reagan campaign did on it.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think the failed hostage rescue really fucked him up. And also the “malaise” speech — an indictment on the American people for not heeding the warning of a wise and prescient man.

Fuck him and fuck Trump followers.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 32 points 1 year ago

You'd punish a six year old who acted this way.

[–] nicetriangle@kbin.social 28 points 1 year ago

Classless as usual

What an absolute skid mark. He's the shid mark to the dirtiest underwear possible. Piss stains and all.

Blump doesn't have a dignified bone in his body.
