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!

Seriously? Anyone voting for mister "grab them by the pussy" has zero right to criticize a married man for talking about having sex with his wife. What an absolute nothing of a story.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 86 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Trump is such a dumpster fire that the media tries to appear balanced by pretending that everything Biden says or does is bad and newsworthy.

[–] AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 61 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Nothing new. Obama had a tan suit. Somehow that was a grave sin on Fox.

Conservatives are idiots.

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 23 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Don't forget about the bougie mustard! Or the terrorist fist bump.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 9 points 8 months ago

We still do the terrorist fist jab in my house lol

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

My favorite is Hannity praising masculine Putin while lambasting Obama for wearing a bicycle helmet while riding a helmet. The horror!

And the bothsidering tone police and Enlightened Centrists (TM) were telling all the rest of us that we should be more receptive to RW feels over things like tan suits, long form birth certificates, buttery males, etc.

Trump talks about wanting to have sex with his daughter, crickets from the party of "morality"

Biden an old man that still fucks figuratively and literally, outrage from the party of "free speech"

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

Brags about sexually assaulting women

Whoa whoa, that's just locker room talk!

Says he has good sex with his wife

Slow down there, son, that's really inappropriate!

Man jokes about "good sex" being key to his 47 year marriage.

Conservatives: Rage while putting a thrice married rapist on a pedestal of morality supposedly "chosen by God" and what-not.

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He didn't make the "joke* about sexually assaulting women.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 93 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I thought it was well known that old folks fuck like rabbits. Sorry you have to learn this way

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 28 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Sounds like two leather bags slapping together

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

THANK YOU.

Incest: OK

Sex in a committed 47 year marriage: Bad?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 62 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Looks like Biden's comment found the incels, and boy, are they PISSED. Joe is talking about how fun it is to bang his wife, and the incels are GRRR, MAD about it.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I'm sure they ferociously wack it tonight!

"No way this is true," said someone about an obvious joke. Do you understand that the president was making a joke? It doesn't really matter whether it's true or not, the point is to make you laugh. You don't seem to understand what jokes are.

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

They are used to insurrection "jokes".

[–] fhek@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 8 months ago

BREAKING: Old people have sex! More at 6.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 32 points 8 months ago

He's a DEVIANT! I'd MUCH rather vote for the man who was Convicted of Rape and Trafficked Minors from his HOME while having many marriages then to vote for the man who JOKES ABOUT HAVING SEX WITH HIS WIFE OF MANY YEARS! PERVERT!

[–] randomaside@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They aren't actually mad. It's a show. Like when they yell at the food counter clerk, they don't actually care. They're more pleased with their own performative expression than anything else. They brag about it later and do the show again for their friends.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

But they are mad though. They are mad all the time, about everything They are filled with anger and rage. It's like a drug to them. It's all they have.

Who gives a flying fuck about Biden's sex life with his wife? No one.

[–] skye@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I mean, apart from Biden. He gives a fuck, clearly

[–] Spaghetti_Hitchens@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago

Sounds like he gives many

[–] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 24 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I cannot express how not newsworthy this is.

They’re mad because he doesn’t have to pay for the sex he gets.

[–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It shouldn’t be that surprising, Margarine Traitor Greed kept showing off Hunter’s hog in committee meetings. Where do they think he got it?

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Maybe Joe needs to show his off more. LBJ gave his a nickname and used to swing it around everywhere. Maybe Joe has been hung like a bison all this time and we never knew....

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The Friday report raised eyebrows among the president's critics, with some wondering on social media whether it was distasteful for Biden to make the joke and others contrasting the comment with the falling incidents he's experienced in recent months.

"We're now in the stage where leftist reporters are fantasizing about Joe Biden's sex life (not Trump supporters who are the cultists).

Clay Travis, the founder of conservative sports news site OutKick, tweeted, "Joe Biden who can't climb the stairs without falling, says the secret to his marriage is 'good sex.'

Asked about running for president in 2006, the then-senator responded, "I'd rather be at home making love to my wife while my children are asleep."

According to the copy of American Woman obtained by the Daily Mail, the first lady is very involved in Biden's political career.

One social media user said, "I'd take 81 year old Joe Biden who supports abortion, marriage equality, student debt forgiveness, Obamacare and talks about 'good sex' any day of the week over Trump."


The original article contains 511 words, the summary contains 170 words. Saved 67%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

[–] tipicaldik@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

raised eyebrows? or maybe scrunched noses...

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Feigned outrage.

"Grab them by the pussy" = that's my president!!!

"Good sex" = OUTRAGEOUS!
