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!

“When the Republican Party sends its nominee they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Hahahaha Nicely done.

God, I can't wait for him to bankrupt that party out of existence. Much like Trump Casinos, Trump University, and Trump Steaks.

[–] joekar1990@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s still amazing that he had 4 casino properties bankrupted bc essentially he took too many loans out on the properties

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 year ago

Who has ever lost money on a casino ever? Worst fucking businessman in history

[–] TheJims@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Trump university was shut down because of fraud.

How can he be directing how a PAC is using it's funds. That's, like, the one rule.

Goddammit FEC...

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And how can paying his bills not be construed as income for don?

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because Republicans keep pretending that his being president once shields him from any and all liability for criminal acts forever.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well, to be fair, the FEC is an abbreviation. In full. It is the feckless.

The fact that the GOP thinks they can get away with that without an absolute fuckload of wealthy not-quite-that-insane Republicans suing both the party and Trump himself is kinda hilarious tbh

[–] IbnLemmy@feddit.uk 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't this a good thing?

The more GOP money spent on Trumps bills, the less is spent on the campaign. The less they spend on the campaign the worse his chances of winning?

[–] ashok36@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The reason they don't care about down ballot races is because they plan to take power with violence and just install loyalists.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Ding ding ding! That's exactly what's happening here, plenty of articles are circulating about election officials leaving their posts in record numbers due to harassment/threats from right wingers. If they can't win fairly, they will most certainly attempt to win unfairly
