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!

Yeah and if the CK thing was any indicator of how it’ll go, the administration will milk it for all it’s worth. It’ll be gross.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 10 points 53 minutes ago (1 children)

I hope he dies in the stupidest, self-owning way possible, like tripping over his own feet and falling down some stairs. Preferably on camera.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 52 minutes ago (1 children)

i want him to be eating on camera and then accidentally elvis himself

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 35 minutes ago* (last edited 34 minutes ago) (1 children)

During one of his dumb speeches in front of a crowd of MAGA idiots ..... right in the middle of making one of his dumb statements, just suddenly stops, stares into space and falls over.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

Preferably giving the mike a blowjob again?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 52 minutes ago

got an eighth of high grade weed and a cheap box of wine set aside for the day

Ask Vlad for the condition of his agent.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

It's a day ending in 'y' so he's probably just golfing

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Arrest everyone in this administration

[–] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

When Trump dies, how long do you think Stephen Miller will try to keep it quiet?

Trump needed the presidency to keep him out of prison. Steven Miller needs Trump's protection so 8 year old girls don't take his lunch money.

[–] normanwall@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I read the below recently from Millers wife and can't help but think that he is the lamest attempt at a villain I've ever heard of. Genuinely one of the most pathetic people I've ever read about.

"He is an incredibly inspiring man who gets me going in the morning with his speeches, being like, 'Let's start the day. I am going to defeat the left, and we are going to win,'"

[–] echo@lemmy.tf 4 points 1 hour ago

He's too busy having a weeklong fuckfest with Satan again. It's almost time for the baby.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 80 points 4 hours ago (8 children)

Trump dead before Dec. 20, take your bets

[–] dipcart@lemmy.world 66 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Christmas Day would be the ultimate present. Oh you don't like us celebrating on the day he died?? Who's waging a war on Christmas now?

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 12 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

Evangelicals would claim it as their Jesus returning to heaven.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

Remind them that Jesus Barabbas' hiatus from the cult - a symbolic death and then rebirth - took place closer to passover anyway. There's little chance we can keep Mr Trump alive long enough to line that up.

They'll put a giant memorial up in Washington for every American person to weep at and they'll track who comes to grieve and whether they have done so sufficiently to avoid the work camps that Dear Leader Vance will have built for disloyal citizens and degenerate queers.

[–] Jhuskindle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I don't think he will make it that long.

[–] echo@lemmy.tf 2 points 1 hour ago

Halloween or Thanksgiving would work too. Actually Thanksgiving may be the best choice of the three

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I wonder if Las Vegas is accepting bets on the subject.

[–] echo@lemmy.tf 2 points 1 hour ago

Can we get this one on some of those event betting apps? I'd throw a dollar or two at that bet.

[–] degen@midwest.social 20 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

I'd honestly put money on him not making it to term, but that might be the safe bet. The thing is, that leaves us with Vance.

[–] pheonixdown@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 minutes ago

Iirc, the revelations anti-christ is supposed to rule for 7 years, I also have some memory that there was a hint it might not be consecutive.

[–] echo@lemmy.tf 2 points 1 hour ago

Vance is useless as fuck and is incapable of herding his republican cats. He was a joke before Trump and he'll continue to be a joke after.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago (8 children)

Vance is definitely easier to manipulate. So I honestly don’t know who is worse.

[–] degen@midwest.social 12 points 3 hours ago

I've gotten the feeling that Trump acts out of loving himself, while Vance explicitly wants to be awful. Both about as terrifying, but Vance seems more menacing in my mind.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

You think Vance is easier to manipulate than the literal pedophile with a lifetime of compromat who consistently flips his convictions over who complimented him last????

I'm not saying Vance isn't easy to manipulate, I'm just saying I can't imagine there's an easier to manipulate human being over the age of 4 than Donald Trump.

This asshole will do anything to divert attention from the Epstein files.

[–] RandomlyGeneratedName@lemmy.world 43 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Please be dead. I think he’s done enough damage to his own cause that if he dies, the cult of personality will be broken. Vance won’t be able to keep it up. If Trump gets killed, he becomes a martyr and they rally around his causes, but dying of natural causes is more hopeful.

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 17 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

If he died of natural causes, what makes you think that’s how the White House would report it. They’d say he was killed and use it to create a false divisive narrative, blaming some left wing conspiracy or assassin who doesn’t exist. They’d use it to galvanise maga behind Vance blah blah blah…

[–] deepfriedchril@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I feel we might even get a "Weekend at Bernie's" situation.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 1 points 48 minutes ago

Exactly my thoughts.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 hours ago

Even if they don't explicitly say it (which they will), the MAGA hordes will concoct their own conspiracy theories and believe them. After all, they are all QAnon alumni.

Last time this happened, the indicators that something was up was Vance not being able to keep his mouth shut and tweeting about it. Along with a 300% increase in take out pizza orders at near the pentagon.

I cant imagine they are fully staffed right now, but if I find out something happened because an inordinary number of feds need to get late night pizza, Ill eat my shoe.

"He had to have another stroke so that his face will droop on both sides," suggested Bluesky user Bob.

Dang, Bob. Nice one.

[–] MOARbid1@piefed.social 15 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Let’s hope he strokes out on the shitter. Then we can just flush him.

[–] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I want it to happen on camera so I can bookend it with Charlie Kirk.

I mean, there are only so many golf courses, he's on one of them getting in all those strokes, best place for it.

[–] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

He's just hiding like the fucking coward he is. He didn't like knowing all those smart successful people weren't willing to clap for his brilliance.

Remember how he much he desires to be acknowledged and thought highly of by those types.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 hours ago

Too bad he's probably too narcissistic to take the Hitler way out.

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 20 points 3 hours ago

You did try checking the nearest golf course, right?

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago

Accept nothing but a public appearance as proof of good health.
