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!

President Biden’s reelection campaign is pouncing on former President Trump’s fundraising numbers, dubbing its political rival “Broke Don” on Thursday.

“Not a Winning Campaign: Broke Don Hides in Basement,” the campaign wrote in an email. “Trump can’t raise money, isn’t campaigning, and is letting convicts and conspiracy theorists run his campaign.”

Election filings made public Wednesday showed Trump’s 2024 campaign brought in $10.9 million last month, while his joint fundraising committee raised nearly $11 million. It has about $42 million in cash on hand. 

Meanwhile, Biden’s campaign operation raised roughly $53 million in February, which gave it $155 million in cash on hand entering March.

Don't let Trump's bad news stop you from working for Biden.

Biden needs a super majority in Congress to undo decades of GOP rule.

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

The Democratic party needs a supermajority for years (decades) if the actual left wing wants to have any voice in U.S. politics.

The GOP needs to go away, the Republican party is a party of failed policies. The only thing that needs to be conserved is the planet and peoples health and they're failing miserably at both.

“Delinquent Don” was right there though

Or “Deadbeat Don”

Biden’s mean-nickname game is bullshit

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 30 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (4 children)

Delinquent is way too long a word for Trump.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

His followers would think it is a compliment. Or just beat you for using "them fancee ass collijj werds"

This made me laugh out loud... 😝

[–] meleecrits@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

I'd have gone with "Donnie two pennies" myself.

[–] UnculturedSwine@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I would suggest Dementia Don but mocking someone's disability is Trump's mo

This feels like exactly the sort of thing that will cause Trump to lose his shit.

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 42 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This AND forfeiting properties next week. 🤞🤞🤞

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'd love to see it. The amount of butthurt he, as well as many of his sympathizers, had when the feds showed up to - checks notes - retrieve classified documents that he stole - was epic and I cannot imagine how much weeping and wailing there will be if tiny d starts getting assets seized.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Calling out now: someone is going to get arrested for showing up at one of the properties with a gun to "defend it."

Trump will do nothing to de-escalate the situation, (will probably make it worse) and then will distance himself from it when the guy gets shot.

He's broke and asking his supporters for money, he's literally a bum.

A bum isn't a homeless person. A bum is that guy who probably has a home, but he doesn't work, doesn't follow rules, always asks you for cigarettes, always borrowing $5 he's never going to pay back. The leech, the parasite who contributes nothing. Trump is a bum.

[–] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Let's call him Wimpy: "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamberder today."

[–] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's an insult to Wimpy, but OK.

“I know not everyone’s feeling enthusiasm. The other day a defeated man … came up to me and said, Mr. President I’m being crushed by debt, I’m completely wiped out,” Biden said. “I had to say, ‘I’m sorry Donald, I can’t help you.’”

This is pretty funny too. I hope Biden keeps saying stuff like this lol

Lol @ the name calling. We are on a fast track to Idiocracy.

[–] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 18 points 8 months ago

Trump has brought a lot of terrible things to the forefront of American politics but the name calling is probably the most annoying, even if it's not the most damaging.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sadly, that film was quite prophetic.

I think one of his biggest fears is being realized recently: he's not worth anything close to what he claims he is, and it's on full display for everyone to see

[–] Zier@fedia.io 14 points 8 months ago

Let's see how much money trumpty dumpty has on March 25th? FatDonnie is the perfect example of "too big to fail", he believes his wealth can protect him from everything, but his fake facade keeps falling off. I can't wait to see the utter mess before the election.

[–] Heikki@lemm.ee 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I hope broke don sleeps well on his cock shaped pillow
