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!

Shouldn't you sit down, sir?
They’re jamming my Lemmy
Oooo. Please get caught handling a gun in NY for some stupid photoshoot, so we can see the GOP being hypocrits yet again by covering for Trump while waving pitchforks at Hunters firearm trial.
They love being hypocrites. They crave the attention.
For the record, it’s also a federal offense for him to have a firearm.
In fact, it was illegal simply handing his indicted ass that trump-branded 1911 in the gun store
You’ll notice no court made an issue of that
Edit: the pic has already been posted here,. That is an ugly ass 1911.
The gun in question
It’s not too far from the truth
Huh, his hands really are tiny
It wouldn't be so bad if he wore a suit that wasn't 2 sizes too big.
And those dumbasses next to him are really dumb…asses.
I have a hard time believing that this clown waving a musket around at people’s faces has ever actually been to a shooting range.
He was in rotc or went to a military school, didn't he? I have to imagine they did at least some rifle training. It was the 60s. Then again i wouldn't be surprised if Donald weaseled out of training to go do whatever rich kids do with their free time.
Can't do rifle training today, coach. Bone spurs are acting up.
Why do you need a gun when I pay for you to have lifetime secret service protection?
Killing people on 5th Avenue without losing voters
NRA cred
"you can pry it from my cold dead asshole!"
If Trump were to ever handle a firearm he'd likely shoot himself with it. Exhibit eclipse, bleach and "UV injections"
Would his Secret Service detail even let him carry in the first place? I feel like that's a no-no.
It rather is a huge no-no.
First, firearms carried for protection are far more likely to harm the household of the person carrying it (or keeping it in the house) than they are to harm an intruder.
Secondly, fighting near the client or whoever is being protected is like the single biggest fuck up they can make. If trump were to turn and try and fight, that just gives the attackers more opportunity to put a bullet in him (and probably get way more people dead.
No… somebody attacks him, they’re grabbing his neck, and getting him the fuck out of there and into a fortress.
Zero chance that fuck nut could shoot straight. Menace.
well yeah, no way you could hold a gun properly with hands that tiny
“That’s why god invented subcompacts.”
-the range warden. (I don’t like that guy.)
Two guesses how theyll treat a felon with a firearm if he gets caught with one after this

Did I get it in one? :D
I mean, they are his size.
"take the guns first"
Watch him, he'll cry wolf instantly.
This motherfucker would do it just because they told him he couldn't. I'm going to need popcorn.
I don't think he'd know which end of a gun to pick up.
