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!

Dude flirts like a 12 year old who just got killed on modern warfare.

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 43 points 1 year ago

Flirts like, or with? That Borat movie suggested the latter.

It worked on his cousin.

Conservatives: “It didn’t happen.”

Everyone: “it’s on tape.”

Conservatives: “Fake news, it didn’t happen.”

[assume this to be their reasoning in every argument moving forward]

"That's just locker room talk." Also, Jesus and Christian values... while electing literal villains.

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

It’s because reality has a liberal bias. So you can’t trust that either. And if you admit that, then you’re on the side of Harris, which is almost as bad as being a satanist.

Rudy was caught doing something revolting and vile? Must be a day ending in 'y.'

Florida man on tape in civil sex assault case tells accuser he wants to ‘own’ her breasts, talks about penis size, disparages Jews.

Does it hit any different?

[–] mrgoodc4t@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Somehow the title undersells what he said

Sincerely, it surprises me on a basic literary level. That’s a remarkable distance to meander through to reach “those tits are mine” from ‘Jews have smol pp.’

Unrelated, did that site heat up anyone else’s device? It causes my fan to blast.

[–] Osito@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

The creep trifecta

[–] restingboredface@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So my question is, how did this guy come to power in the first place? Was he always like this and it was just hidden from view for 70 years? Or is he going senile and just became crazy and stupid in the last few years? I mean, he's a lawyer and was mayor of New York during 9-11. At least at a distance he seemed to have his shit together for a while.

[–] CoggyMcFee@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There was a window of time where this guy was the frontrunner for the GOP nomination for president.

[–] HarrBear@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Not surprising that he would say this, but still surprising that people out there like this guy.

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

He always seemed like such a nice guy though

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bad article. The link to the court filings didn’t even work

[–] asap@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There’s more ads popping up than on a porn site. You’re not missing anything

[–] itsJoelle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I might suggest a browser like Brave. I didn't get served a single add mobile. I can check if the court docs link worked.

Edit: initially the link didn't work for me either. I needed to turn off my VPN so it could work.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Ah, must be the VPN then. Thanks for doing the due diligence!
