Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

If selling weapons to people or giving people weapons is bombing then your buddy Trump doesn't look so great by that bar either. He loved the weapons trade.
Once again, not my buddy, the guys a prick, I have never come close to voting for him. Selling weapons sucks. Guess what's worse, freely providing them to be used specifically to kill innocent kids with our tax money.
He did that as well during his tenure. How many weapons have been used upon Palestinians that were shipped over during the Trump administration?
If he's not your buddy, then why do you spend your free time on lemmy apologizing for him?
I don't. I spend my time saying what I think in the hopes that better points will be made. For the most part I have to wade through a bunch of muck of people just repeating the same garbage they think they have to repeat, but sometimes someone says something interesting.
Trump supplied some weapons that killed Palestinians, but no reasonable person is trying to claim that he did anywhere close to what bidens done since october.
Got it. So you have no idea then. 👍
Do you honestly have the pov that Trump did more to pulverize innocent palestian middle-schoolers than biden? You don't. You have some other issue that you actually care about, like trans rights/healthcare(a very noble cause), and so you just toss the palestian toddlers in the meat grinders to try to support something that you think actually affects your life. Not entirely your fault, you were most likely raised to think you are so much more important than anyone in far off lands.
