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!

He just scratched his balls, didn't he?

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He just got to try out the 2025 Supreme La-Z-Boy Couch models.

He looks at the now meme-like picture of a bunch of guys surrounding a woman on the couch and wonders what the woman is doing there.

That sectional is going to get reamed tonight.

The article doesn't really get the timing down on the exchange. It really goes like this:

"All of these people, Jake, they came into office thinking that they could control Donald Trump, that when he said he wanted peace in the world..."

"Really?" Tapper asked while laughing loudly.

"And when he found out that he couldn't, they all turned on Donald Trump.".

Tapper continues to laugh.

It's the 'peace in the world' part that made Tapper laugh. Because frankly, that's just absurd.

Thank God people have been laughing in Vance's face the last couple months, and pointing out his ridiculous statements right to him. These guys can't handle being laughed at. Being called 'wierd' set them off for an entire month. They couldn't care any less about being fact checked or what the truth and reality are. Laugh at them, dismiss them. That's how they feel pain.

Didn’t Vader say he wanted to bring peace to the galaxy.

Seems like they have no good response to you laughing right at their face. I'd say do it more! I hope they don't win, we'd probably be put on their "naughty list" later.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

The response is that they will put them in a camp and/or fucking kill them. That's where this is headed.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

Only if they win.

“All of these people, Jake, they came into office thinking that they could control Donald Trump, that when he said he wanted peace in the world…”

For anyone thinking JD will pull an article 25, I fear worse. They'll just need to keep Trump content and entertained while the rest of the pig fuckers run the country into the ground.

He's peojecting his own intentions here.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Trump is so stupid, he would sit in the oval office clueless all day, without realizing Vance stole his power and is running the country.

January 7th, 2025:

"Watch: CNN's Jake Tapper hanged in Times Square for laughing in Vice President J.D. Vance's face prior to election victory; further executions to come."

[–] rouxdoo@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

no...just no! I refuse to succumb to the sad place I retreated to after the 2016 fail - that is not our future, that is not going to happen! I can not let myself imagine this future and you shouldn't either.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

You’re right it’s not the same. It’s much much worse.
