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 have a dream that if fuckface were to be able to have this arch built, that Democrats would run as part of their platform to bulldoze any of his bullshit, and replace the arch with Ozymandias-style feet. And that Donvict would be just aware enough to watch it from an old folks home or prison.

Extra cherry on top - replace any currency with PEDOnald's face on it with Obama's. Oh, that would be delightful. :)

In addition, passing something to invalidate any pardon coming from the PEDO IN CHIEF.

Get it through your fucking heads. Trump would kill you and your family to enrich himself. He'd fuck your children and rape your wife. He does not care about anyone but himself and never has. He is pure self absorbed selfishness. 80 years old in the making.

He's the embodiment of the Republican party and Conservative 'values'

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Yep, he's the fucking ideal.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Even if they could afford rent....why the fuck should this guy get all this shit?

He's easily the worst President in history.

Why the fuck should this complete dumbass and total dickhead get a ballroom and an arch and money with his ugly mug on it.

FFS.

Was the golden arch given to him by McDonald’s

Trump: I use Arch BTW.

Well look at the time it’s half past guillotine

I wonder how hard it will be for the morons to keep people from stealing the gold to sell

You say that like anyone considering stealing it would be a rational and semi-intelligent person. But this is America.

I don't mind a stately arch in general, but that thing is hideous as is the person wanting it

Circus is about to be over. The kitchen is about to turn the bread ovens off.

The ovens won't be turned off, just repurposed.

It's Trump. It'll be yellow paint, and not even the good brand.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Gold yellow or piss yellow?

I mean, if unemployment is high and wages are low, there's a certain Keynesianism theory that suggests we're not building enough arches.

[–] Jiral@lemmy.org 1 points 4 days ago

I like how the living violation of the establishment clause will get its own golden cow or arc. Seems fitting.
