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!

I apologize for this childish post, but all I could think of was that scene in The Naked Gun.

Shouldn't appearing with Musk and Jones be more embarrassing for him?

That's some niche comedy there bud

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That real good "check their history to see if they do this shit all the time and block them if they do" humor.

Truly avant garde. Thankfully not applicable in this case.

Well, as they say:

And your father was an ape too!

This sequence actually codes for recQ-mediated genome instability protein 1 in Glycin max, for those curious. So Vivek is actually a soybean. It all checks out.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

So Vivek is actually a soybean. It all checks out.

Perhaps, but he's also immune to the effects of Glyphosate (Roundup) herbicide. How many of the other GOP primary candidates can claim the same. We journalists asked those campaigns how they match up against this Ramaswamy credential, the responses were mixed:

  • The Trump campaign: "Trump's well known immunity to Glyphosate was the sole reason for the Deep State's highly and unprovable coordinated campaign to steal the 2020 election."

  • The Haley campaign "We will neither confirm nor deny Haley's associations with Glyphosate vulnerability, but we'd like to note that you will likely find historical Haley's statements at different times both support and condemn Glyphosate, so which every statement you need to produce a positive piece of journalism we can provide it. Just ask. Please. We need some positive press. So, like, if you've got any ideas, we're all ears over here. Really! Keep in mind, it has to resonate with our largely racist and misogynistic base to pass the primary."

  • The Christie campaign "What the f*$# are you talking about? How the hell did you get this phone number?"

  • The Desantis campaign did not respond. Phone calls to one phone number at the campaign just went to Voice Mail. We left voice mails that went unanswered. Another number phone number at the campaign office was answered, by a gentleman claiming no knowledge of the Desantis campaign reporting he recently got the phone number but could offer us "$60 for an eighth". Attempting to get a response we went to a total of three different listed campaign offices. Two of them were newly minted Spirit Halloween stores, while the third appeared to be a homeless encampment with the residents burning "Desantis for President" signs and Tshirts for light and warmth.

This. Musk doesn't know how to run a professional event. He fires everyone so Vivek should have seen disaster coming.

I thought the last event ended his chances for president.
