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!

How could Biden have done this?!?

And if he told them he could deliver the phones if they paid another $100, they'd all pay it.

Trump bibles, Trump NFTs, Trump coins. But it's totally not a cult.

[–] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

You forgot Trump shoes

Has there ever been a group of people easier to fucking con and manipulate than the MAGAs? The most profoundly, aggressively stupid people to ever walk the earth. They literally handed over their money - and not an insignificant amount at that - for something called a "Trump phone." Fucking imbeciles.

a conditional opportunity to buy the device if Trump Mobile eventually chooses to sell it.

I’m laughing so hard I think I may have collapsed a lung.

@TheTechnician27@lemmy.world didn't even bother editing the URL to a verifiable source. 🤦‍♀️

Will this be the sign that they have put their faith in a serial conman (and rapist and pedophile)?

Magic 8 ball says "very doubtful"

[–] Baphomet_The_Blasphemer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Wow! Conned by a conman, what were the odds of that happening. 🤔

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And will they learn anything from that? Certainly not.

[–] Snowies@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

Good. I hope they don’t get their families back either.

Pretty sure most of that was actually the Saudis paying their ~~bribes~~ independent civilian purchases in exchange for their new air base on US soil.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Are they fuming, though?

[–] newton@feddit.online 4 points 1 day ago

Good ,very good ,outstanding
