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!

Difficulty: IMPOSSIBLE

Nobody really believes Musk is being shut out of the administration. Trump and Musk lie constantly. Of course they're lying about this.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

People hate trump too. That doesn't seem to have any effect though.

He was in Saudia Arabia with the president so he's still there. Don't let that fucker off the hook.

Will never happen but if the dems don't go fucking scorched earth should they ever have power again we'll never stand a chance.

Gavin Newsom is who they want to run against Trump in 2028. We are so cooked.

Newsflash: everyone outside Donnie Dumbass world hates fElon, too.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 63 points 2 days ago (1 children)

People hate Trump too. When will he slam the door on himself?

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 day ago

By slam a door on himself... if I had to choose between him leaving office and him actually slamming a door on himself... obviously it's leaving office, but it's close

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 45 points 2 days ago (2 children)

People hate nazis in general so it's understandable that people would hate Elon Musk, a nazi.

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

People hate nazis in general

If only. Entirely too many scratched-liberals in the NATO block. And that goes straight back to its founding.

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

But when even the Nazis hate him, you know he's even worse than anyone figured.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Let's be real: Trump aligned himself with someone with -44 charisma and then made him the "chainsaw guy" on purpose, he was a hatchet man, meant to cut shit back and take the heat. I think Elon thought he was doing the using, but ultimately like so many others he was part of Trump's web of bullshittery, already many seasons in progress when Elon decided to get super political. Now I am guessing he's regretting it almost as much as we are, but for very different reasons.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Depends on how much data his DogE goons scooped up.

[–] Vijfsnippervijf@feddit.nl 4 points 1 day ago

Trump & Elon Musk (Elmo). The most hated pair of idiots in the world. And there is NO stopping them from falling! Their oppression will end!q

[–] lupusblackfur@lemmy.world 48 points 2 days ago

Simply not talking about him is not "slamming the door"...

They've simply learned that hyping Elonazi was invoking too much damage to his companies.

So now the Department of Gratifying Elonazi (DOGE) minions will more quietly work behind the scenes and we will learn much less about the damage they're doing and when they're doing it.

This is much worse.

[–] Lembot_0002@lemm.ee 39 points 2 days ago

Now slam the door on Trump for the very same reason. "People hate him."

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don't worry, we're not going to forget

[–] natedog526@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Yeah. That's fair.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Until he's no longer a billionaire he's a threat to democracy. Don't let up.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Too late,fuckers! We all still know you all should go eat a bag of shit!

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

We hate you too, Trump, can you slam the door on yourself too? And don't let it hit you on the ass on your way out, it's bad enough we're going to have to clean the spray tan off it.
