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'm not sure this is any more humiliating than the original tantrum was, but because neither of them believes a word of anything they say anyway, nobody really cared. When you live your life in a narcissistic bubble, you never had friends and you never will have any, and no apologies you make or accept have any meaning.

[–] el_bhm@lemm.ee 2 points 14 hours ago

Words, tantrums, shouting matches and silent days are just tools in a narcissist playbook.

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

Republicans have no balls. All of these losers bend over to accept Trump's cock in the end like the little sluts they are. They have no respect for themselves, this country, or anything. Fuck all of these guys.

So we had Romney, Cruz, Christie, Rubio... All humiliated by Trump. Now add Musk to the list. It's amazing how weak all the right wingers are. They all fold immediately before Trump. Trump is a baby, all other dictators laugh at him. Yet in US is the alpha politician. Amazing.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I fucking hate Chris Christie, but I wouldn't put him in the same camp as scum like Rubio and Cruz. He genuinely appears to hate Trump.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 26 points 1 day ago

He hates him now because he didn't get a position in his administration. But when he still hoped for one he stood behind Trump like a nice little boy:

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 20 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

What a sniveling little bitch

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 15 hours ago

That fucking look he has on his face whenever he meets someone in a position of power. Head down but looking up with that shit eating grin, like real life is a Scooby Doo cartoon.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He must have realized that apart from tech bros, there is not a single person in the world that likes him including his father and his step mother who also happens to be his step sister.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 108 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Damn, imagine chickening out before TACO.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 120 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Chronic abuser comes off bender, realizes he fucked up, begs for his main lady to take him back, promises this will never happen again.

[–] TassieTosser@aussie.zone 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

TACO threatening deportation probably helped. Oh and Tesla stock dropping 4 billion because he wasn't in the club anymore.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Tesla has fully rebounded, unfortunately.

The irrational exuberance never ends

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

So what you're saying is this will happen every week?

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 18 hours ago

We can only hope

[–] korendian@lemmy.world 80 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Can some be more completely cucked? This dude somehow seems to find new levels of pathetic every day.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 16 points 1 day ago

He cucked Steven Miller, so there's at least one person.

[–] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can some be more completely cucked?

Trump himself.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You think Melania gives a wet fart what that dysenteric fat sac feels about her filling her voids with what/whomever she chooses?

Sorry, my bad. I should've stopped as soon as I put "Melania" & "think" in the same sentence. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 23 hours ago

She really doesn't care, do u?

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Its just a giant room full of musical cuck chairs; nobodies quite sure who is cucking who, but theyre 100% sure that someday it'll be them in the position of power if they stick around long enough.

[–] londos@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

To be clear, he only wrote that he regretted posting them. He didn't say they weren't true. The key takeaway here to remember is that Trump is DEFINITELY in the Epstein files.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 45 points 1 day ago

In addictions and recovery culture .... this is known as a hangover and regret

[–] KAtieTot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Someone probably reminded his dumb ass that he's also in the Epstein files.

[–] outrageousmatter@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Nah, more likely, someone reminded him his citizenship could be taken away, meaning he could lose his citizenship even though that'll be questionable trump gives no shit and remember elon past is questionable but trump wants it make it fact.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

And the MAGA Nazis can cut off the government money tap, they can crack down on his many corporate and regulatory violations, they can even nationalize his space businesses. He wouldn't have to worry about it if a Dem was in office, they'd NEVER do that (even if they should), but he knows HitlerPig wouldn't hesitate, because they are exactly alike.

[–] KAtieTot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 day ago

That and y'know, many people are saying this was a distraction to hide judicial arrests.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 day ago

It was the ketamine talking.

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 6 points 23 hours ago

What an amazing example of sunk cost fallacy. Fucking idiot.

[–] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

He expected Trump's MAGA base to follow him, and they pretty much universally stuck with Trump. So he went crawling back, that's all.

It looks like someone had a good ol' classic "Come to Jesus meeting" in the Oval Office.

What a show that must have been, huh? Who was there? What did they say? You know HitlerPig took a breather after a while, and let the others beat up on him, while he sat back, entertained. That's his move, we saw it with Zelensky.

Maybe let the head of each department give a report on what their agency is doing to attack some arm of his empire. DoJ talks about investigating his drug use, Defense wants to take Starlink, NASA or the Space Force wants Space X, then Pakled Holman and Canine Killer Barbi drop the big immigration bomb at the finish.

By the end he'd be giving HitlerPig a big sloppy knob job in front of the crowd while Epstein films it ( oh, yeah, he's still around, he always brings the girls, or whatever).

Peter Thiel is pretty powerful for telling Musk to apologize.

He stole PayPal from him and he'll do it again

[–] mazzilius_marsti@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

fucking coward

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Sigh. So we're not rid of him yet?

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Unless of course he managed to sink Trump.

In which case he'd be smug as fuck about it.
