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!

HAHAHAHA. Goddamn what an incompetent demented child rapist.

The drawn line doesn't even take into account the expansion of the hurricane zone. It was drawn by someone who doesn't even understand the chart.

“someone” yeah

[–] Odo@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

More like someone who tweeted a list of states in danger that mistakenly included Alabama, got corrected by the National Weather Service, and drew a marker line rather than admit he made a simple error.

The craziest thing about the Japan trade deal is that Donald J. Trump is in the Epstein files.

Taco, Taco Man...He's got to be, a Taco Man

I’m just… what.

I'm insufficiently educated to figure out how to render "Rule by Golden Fat-tip Pen" in Greek, but whatever it's called, the model has proven unsurprisingly ineffective so far. Maybe it's best if we don't name it and just forget about it. Forever.

γαμημένος κλόουν?

Or in case you meant latin. Because I'm not sure what the point/significance of trying to translate it to Greek would be.

scurra malus

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nothing in particular, except the terms generally used to describe models of governance - cronyism etc. - tend to have greek rather than latin roots.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.social 2 points 4 days ago

Hmmm interesting. I don't think I'd ever heard that before. I will have to look into it

[–] lennee@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

this gotta be onion, right? Right? RIGHT?

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

He knows they are willing to capitulate, so just added more terms. Just like that. This should be a lesson (maybe the 130th) for other countries hoping to be the one who changes him or sneaks one by him.
