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!

Guys, can we please not bully the unstable lunatic into creating a global depression?

You seem pretty confident that he wouldn't do that anyways based on incompetency already.

Like you said : he’s unstable. Cowtowing would only assume his mood is stable enough to commit to any code of honour.

Sorry for waking you up if you’ve been sleeping for the past 9 years:

I implore you that if you haven’t been observing it already that you should observe what he’s done to anyone who’s bent the knee to him. He’s actually attempted to take the life of his last vice president.

Look up what he’s done to his own lawyers in the past who defended him.

Bending the knee is only going to come down on you even worse as you get to live on the wrong side of history by everyone else’s standards and be the biggest target of the biggest narcissist ever. Just look at who he pardons. Do you want to become one of those? A pedophile? A human trafficker? Insurrectionists of democracy? Cuz that’s who he’s dedicated to. That’s who he finds powerful to mimick.

the only people who have had any actual power against him are those who oppose him. EG: the judges who aren’t backing down.

And after you’ve done some studying: i implore you to then gain some dignity and self respect.

It should be over your cold dead body that you ever take a knee beside convicted human trafficker and cowtow to a convicted rapist. A rapist who burried one of his own victims on his golf course so he can tee off on her. And paying off another victim while he sits as a president.

Seriously. Get some back bone. Cuz you really have nothing else to lose at this point.

It really took you 10 paragraphs to not get a joke? Damn, dude.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Then You need to work at telling jokes. You really suck at them.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He'll chicken out before that happens.

[–] piecat@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

If we're making fun of him for chickening out, he's def going to double down.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Unless he is, in fact, a chicken.

[–] piecat@lemmy.world -2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Bro mocking the unstable guy holding a gun for being chicken sounds like a good way to get shot

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world -3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Very true. This could backfire.

Oh i'm sure it will
