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!

Isn’t the fact that he can say that pretty much proving him wrong?

[–] Rapidcreek 22 points 5 months ago

It's a fact that if he becomes the VP nominee, Kamala Harris will have a field day with him.

If Biden was a dictator, Gitmo would be full of Republicans

Stop, I can only get so erect

Of course he supports Donald "I'll be a dictator on day 1" Trump and thinks he should have immunity from crimes! You can always count on Republicans:

Gaslighting
Obstructing (progress & justice)
Projecting

Reminds me of, "Accuse the opposition of that of which you are guilty."

I TOO Remember when Biden sent his DOJ to attack Protesters so he could hold a Bible! That DICTATOR! And when he Advertised his Donors Products in the Oval Office. BIDEN THE TRAITOR!

I REMEMBER when the ILLEGITIMATE SO-CALLED "PRESIDENT" sent his JACK BOOTED THUGS to ATTACK his political opponents - TRUE AMERICANS! - all so he could VIRTUE SIGNAL!

FTFY (translated to MAGA)

^(I do think that Trump was legitimately elected, but a system that lets the person who did not win the popular vote win the election is still bullshit)^

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago

MAGoo logic at it's finest.

Say that President Trump is legally empowered to do anything, up to and including ordering domestic assassinations. Also say that Biden is a dictator when he's actually obeying the rules.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer 20 points 5 months ago

So Biden tried to use his execute power to forgive student loans, the SCOTUS shot it down, so now he's invoking a different law for the same ends which could still potentially be struck down. Yeah, classic dictator behavior: do whatever you want to long as your judicial system approves it. And if he was being a "dictator" on border policy (i.e. violating law) then that sounds like a great reason to impeach instead of, "His family is shady."

[–] Suavevillain 12 points 5 months ago

It is coming for the base of people calling Trump the day one dictator lol. Unserious people.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm torn, there's public interest in what politicians say, but the only reason these fucking fascists say things like this, is for the outrage machine to kick in and repeat it through social media posts. The Republicans don't care what they're monsters spew, but they are turned on an energized by the Lefts reaction to it. I mean, I'm adding to the problem right now by commenting under a post about it, thereby increasing the "engagement" and continuing the conversation, which, in the end, as we've seen about a trillion times by now, is there only goat. The more promotional "engagement" expands the reach of their message.

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

Right now he's playing to an audience of Donald Trump. It's probably better if the average person hears what that sounds like.

I don't think he knows the definition

[–] someguy3 6 points 5 months ago

In today's installment of it's always projection.
