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!

Republicans are so old... and just soo weird.
And trump doesn't laugh or have a dog?
There's a lot of other very bad things going on, but they are also just... They're just so fucking weird?
I like to also add "gross" to Trump and Vance's descriptions. Really helps to complete the picture in my mind.
Eh, adds to it but there are so many words you are missing for completion here.
"Gross" seems a lot more fitting than "weird". But what do I know? I'm not a political strategist.
They both have a real “would you fuck me? I’d fuck me” vibe.
Does he have a cat? If you have the resources to have people take care of all the minor annoyances of having a loving furry friend (dog or cat) that you can call your own and still simply choose not to - you are fucking weird.
He doesn't like animals. Remember when he was almost eaten by a bald eagle? And he's strangely phobic of sharks.
Doesn't like animals, doesn't drink due to dead alcoholic brother (Fair enough.), only eats fast food due to a fear of poisoning

Doesn't exercise because he thinks people are powered by batteries

TbF, the science on exercise is pretty limited at best. Nobody seems to agree if it's a good or a bad idea. There's lots of open room for speculation on this. 🙄 It's really just like that argument the dems tried to make about cigarettes being bad for you or there not being dragons at the edge of the earth.
There's no argument on whether exercise is good for you, it unequivocally is. Exactly how much you really need, and what kinds, and what specific benefits it has are somewhat debated, but the mere fact of it being beneficial is not in question.
Is wooosh a thing on lemmy yet?
I'm gonna do my own research and get back to you
It’s only as proven as the leftist theory that you shouldn’t smoke cigars.
That's like wearing a suit of armor during a thunderstorm because you're afraid of being hit by lightning.
Breath of the Wild taught me this is a bad idea.
Animals are good judges of character. No wonder they hate him.
I did not know about the eagle bit but I think that's a bit poetic. It didn't actually get him on the nose, did it? Because that would just be too many metaphors.
Trump eats his steak well done with ketchup.
That sounds like the most un-american thing i've heard all day. Very weird.
I cracked up during the Jan 6th hearings when his aide said she came into a room and saw a broken plate and ketchup splattered on the wall.
The helmet kissing thing at the RNC was insane and hilarious too. Weird dude
Well he lost my vote
