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!

I am glad he is saying it now but Trump was always a self serving, vindictive, money hungry traitor. And this man helped that win the office the first time.

The thing that I wish Trump's supporters would notice is that there is an incredible amount of extremely high-ranking former Trump administration officials that are loudly warning against voting for him.

You don't hear ex-Biden or ex-Obama officials talking about why Biden will be bad for the country. Trump's people have seen his unfiltered self, and what he said and did converted even them to anti-Trump.

But I know it's hopeless with them - it would require them to separate their own identities from Trump's, which is the core psychological problem.

Scaramucc, Scaramucc, does not like the human mango?

Blunders, faults, and right wing, but really this all about … ME!

Gali….

The thing that always gets me about Donnie is the total chaos around him never seems to bother his MAGoos.

I grew up with the myths that Mussolini made the trains run on time and that Hitler was a military genius.

Mooch was one of Trump's more successful hires.

He may be a unit of measurement, but in this case, he’s completely correct.

We should dig up Pascal and Newton to see what they think about this

A shock to no one with a brain that works

Does anyone else find it weird when this guy pops up? I always forget he exists.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Anthony Scaramucci in an interview late Thursday labeled former President Trump the “most un-American presidential nominee in U.S. history.”

“We have to focus on Mr. Trump being the most un-American presidential nominee in U.S. history,” Scaramucci said in an interview on CNN’s “The Source” with host Kaitlan Collins.

Scaramucci, who spent 11 days in the Trump White House in the role of communications director, has now turned into a frequent critic of the former president.

“And just to remind people, Vladimir Putin is tied very closely to Iran now, so just think about what that means for the Middle East, ‘cause we know how transactional Donald Trump is.”

“He’s made it very clear that anybody that he disagreed with or he has an adversarial relationship in the press, he wants to potentially threaten their [Federal Communications Commission] license.

“I don’t think anybody in intelligence agencies understands that love affair, because Vladimir Putin has called for objectively reattaching republics to the former Soviet Union.”


The original article contains 326 words, the summary contains 163 words. Saved 50%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

The bot included the most important bit! Good job, tldr bot.

[–] yumpsuit@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Fun fact: Scaramucci’s sunglasses aren’t blue-tinted, they’re reflecting his blueshifted temporal distortion field.

Trump just got Mooooch'd!

Donald Trump is pretty much the most American creature alive.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

The discredits many Americans. He lost the popular vote and that is not even counting who don't vote because it's the choice of two lesser evils in some cases. Many citizens are better than this and we are just here trying to make a life for our families and have very little choices other than dealing with them.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Trump is a white supremacist - ie, he's about as American as it gets.

[–] Furedadmins@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

John Breckenridges ghost sighs in relief.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah, no kidding.
