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!

That's because he solved so many. Some people say the most wars in the history of the country. Many Big very strong warriors go to him with tears in their eyes and say "Thank you sir for creating peace on earth and good will to all".

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 34 points 4 days ago

He’s the best war solver. He solved WWII. There was no more war after that

[–] Octavio@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

I, too have trouble remembering things that never happened.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 45 points 4 days ago

I can't criticize him for that. I can't remember anything he's solved either.

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 51 points 4 days ago (2 children)

He did have a stroke the other day.

"...the other day." was my grandmothers phrase, which could have meant last week, or decades ago. It was an other day.

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, that is what it means.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 5 points 4 days ago (3 children)

As a child, I needed a tad bit more context. Also, in retrospect, it was probably a coping mechanism for age related cognitive decline (ARCD).

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 6 points 4 days ago

I was born the other day.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

I use it when the timing is totally irrelevant to the conversation and the increased cognitive load from specificity for both the speaker and listener would just detract from the topic.

[–] falidorn@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

The phrase is intentionally vague.

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

Here's to many more.

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 46 points 4 days ago

So for once, he accidentally happened upon the right answer.

[–] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 20 points 4 days ago

Can't remember because he hasn't stopped any

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

Can you imagine if anyone else suggested that you could "solve wars" via some huggy pies between the involved country's leaders?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

He’s a demented rapist. Among a lot of other terrible things.

We’re informed by news organizations that can’t figure that out.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

It's the vascular dementia.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

all that winning
