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!

During an interview that aired Thursday on Real America's Voice, Trump sought to lower expectations for his debate performance. He argued that Biden should take a drug test before the event.

"They're going to feed him a lot of stuff, and we should do a drug test," he demanded. "I'd love to do a drug test beforehand."

Somebody needs to drug test Trump. Projection at it’s finest.

It won't matter.

"Brandon obviously used soros's deep state to fake his results. And it doesn't matter if someone is on drugs because that is our God given right and everyone should have enough ketamine and coke in their body to kill a dozen horses"

The Left constantly makes that mistake. chuds have no shame.

I'm perfectly happy with both of them taking one (assuming it's administered by a neutral third-party). No reason to give the orange turd more ammunition to lash out if the tests are one-sided.

A sitting resident can't have their blood accessed by a third party. It is forbidden. They only the secret services personal blood handler may do so. Behind triple creme bunker walls.

This is the kind of thing you want to Google to verify, but not enough to end up on a list.

[–] stonerboner@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I can assure you that everyone who has posted “on a list” publicly is on a list.

I like to make it trickier, and post cryptographic hash’s for my FBI guys to decipher:

Please stop, we're having a hard enough time keeping up with your porn browsing habits. The cipher guys are all threatening to quit if they have to do any more of these.

Sincerely, your three letter agency minder.

Dear FBI guy,

You know I enjoy the fact that when I browse porn, we browse together. I attempt to take you on a journey with it— is it not your flavor? Let me know your preferences and I’ll try to meet you in the middle.

As well, I understand if you’re a little sore that I didn’t tell you the algorithm for the hash. It’s SHA-256. I know you would never give up on me, so likewise never gunna give you up.

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I googled it and could find no relevant results. Seems made up

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You are correct. I made it up. Also I didn't proofread it. I also might have been on drugs. Either too many, or not enough.

I think they even have special precautions for his shit as well

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't be shocked, Obama said he had to get his hair cut from a speciality barber in the bunker. He thought it was all a bit much.

[–] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

Makes sense. I've heard of the US doing secret spy stuff and finding out health issues about foreign folks though their feces.

He's mad he has to get tested for his sentencing trial and won't do it unless Joe does it too!
