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!

One more reason to never vote for the guy; you never know when he's going to decide he doesn't like your state, and lets it rot during a disaster.

Which is exactly what he's accusing Biden and Democratic North Carolina governor Roy Cooper of doing.

Every accusation is a confession.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

Everything he accuses...

[–] skvlp@lemm.ee 18 points 1 month ago

He’s projecting like crazy.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

He also did it to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine and then got impeached for it.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 month ago

I bet he's not even aware why he's gotten impeached. I don't think he sees any of his actions as bad or immoral. At least as long as he does it.

NGL that's pretty weird and cruel.

I mean, I have family still living in CA. I was fucking pissed. Also the weaponization of tax code against blue (higher tax) states. He weaponized way more aspects of the American government against his opponents than most people are willing to admit.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

But not surprising

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

Well, that's because Trump is a garbage human.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I really hope to see him rot in prison and degenerate slowly and in considerable pain for a few years.

[–] Baggins 3 points 1 month ago

for ~~a few~~ the rest of his years.

FTFY

[–] normanwall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

He'll never go to jail unfortunately. He'll end up like his dad pretending to make important phonecalls from his office at home while succumbing to Alzheimer's

[–] Bananigans@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 month ago

Tracks considering earlier reporting that Trump let COVID smoulder in the early stages. His team thought it would only hurt blue states, something they could later blame the governors for. Guy literally kills people to win.

[–] normanwall@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Is anyone surprised? He has no real empathy and everything to him is transactional

That why he treats everything like a deal that he has to get something out of

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Omg yous guys, I think this dude might be a self-serving narcissistic asshole who doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone but himself.

Edit: and still he might win another four years because we live in hell.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I feel like we already knew this

Like, wasnt this on the news when it was happening?

I'm legit asking my memories of all his bullshit have started to blend together in a soup of traumatic bullshit

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't know if we knew that he asked for a vote count before. Either way, it's good to remind people of the chaos of his regime before an election.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

No yeah reminders are good

I legit couldn't fucking remember if this was new or not
