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!

Everyone in Trump’s orbit is there because they’re either too stupid to realize they’re stupid, or because they’re selfish and power hungry.

I’ll be shocked if these people don’t end up eating each other.

because they’re either too stupid to realize they’re stupid, or because they’re selfish and power hungry.

And Elon is both.

[–] Grandwolf319 2 points 1 month ago

Idk man, besides his “supporters” pretty much everyone around him is selfish and power hungry (probably true for some of his supporters too).

Ego vs Ego

Also don't let this nonsense garbage distract you from a fascist takeover.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Didn't Hitler kill the other popular Nazi leaders because he feared their ability to take over the party?

That will be a fun day of news.

[–] ohellidk 1 points 1 month ago

my hope is that they stay too busy fighting each other.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Please I beg all of you to call him "First Lady". He's always around Trump.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That bronzer just looks worse and worse with each passing day.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

It looks like someone slapped orange paint on a crumbling pumpkin way after Halloween...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

He's wearing more fucking makeup and hair product than a drag queen these days. He's literally a clown.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Elon Musk is a glorified Lamprey.

You gave him an opportunity, and he's going to exploit every means he has available to stay attached.

Fucking idiots, all of these people.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Poor Leon.

He just can't seem to make friends.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

He could try not being a Nazi cunt.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

If he had just kept his mouth shut we might actually still think he was moderately cool like way back when. We’d still be wrong and he’d still be a huge douche but all he’s done is create enemies so far.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

That is one orange motherfucker

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

He's too busy banging Melania to care.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't think this rumor is true, but the idea of Trump hearing it and getting pissed amuses me so much that I hope it spreads like COVID.

[–] skulblaka 7 points 1 month ago

Eh, Trump wouldn't care if Elmo was banging his wife. Russia aired her nudes on the evening news channel recently and exactly nothing happened, Trump loves when the general public has sexual interactions with his wife.

Ivanka, however....

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don’t think this rumor is true

and you don't think that based on... absolutely no knowledge whatsoever?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You could say exactly the same thing about anyone who believe this rumor.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I don't think Elon's dick works anymore tbh. That is what I heard.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I hope he keeps treating Elon like this for the next four years

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Elon chatted up Putin and paid him for a copy of the evidence that Putin uses to control Trump. My guess is it’s a video involving a child.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The video would just boost his approval rating among supporters.

"Her body, my choice"...............

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Yes, shake the jar!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I mean, Elon is going to head up a redundant organization concerned about "efficiency"? Maybe he should close shop before starting, since he's a redundancy.

Right there is some free advice for that "small government" dumbass. Irony is that he is where he is thanks to government...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

How long did he last in the first Trump administration? He was in some tech advisory group or something. Not very long as I recall. A couple of Mooches?

[–] Grandwolf319 2 points 1 month ago

Omg this is the same energy as Stan Lee came back gag
