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!

Trump could run as being 'The Penguin' and it wouldn't matter in the slightest. His voters treat him like a fucking mad libs where they just get to fill in the blanks.

See White Jesus

The funniest is the leader of the twin flames cult was like, "Hey notice how all the depictions of Jesus are of a white guy and not a middle eastern man. That's because they are of me, I am white Jesus."

Retconning racism to claim you are God. Religion is so great and moral.

Penguin won in his election! Mayor of Gotham!

Relative to Trump, he actually was a good guy.

I'm currently watching the old Batman show with Adam West. Trump as president was almost as cartoon-y as the villains in that show.

[–] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works -2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Batman is a villain just the fucking same.

You obviously haven't seen the old show.

It's a TV show named Batman, starring Adam West and Burt Ward. It aired 1966-1968 on ABC and spawned the Batman '66 movie.

You do understand what a live action tv show is, don't you?
