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!

After Republican vice presidential pick J.D. Vance went viral last week for being extraordinarily awkward at a donut shop in Georgia, Democrat Tim Walz had to poke fun at him during a snack stop in Pennsylvania. 

Pursuing sweets like whoopie pies and donuts at Cherry Hill Orchards in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Walz slid in a joke  while speaking to voters. 

“Look at me, I have no problem picking out donuts.”

Why are those people in the Trump campaign so disgusting?

In the article we only have to scroll a little to see the video:

JD Vance trying to order doughnuts

She clearly asked not to be filmed, yet they post the video with her in it.
Note that this is clearly illegal in civilized countries like for instance EU, but I don't know about USA?

Zero protection of personal space, yet stand your ground allow white to shoot black people!?!?
What a fucking shithole country!

On brand for Republicans not recognizing a woman's agency or autonomy.

It's not like staffers from the same campaign working directly under the head guy at the moment assaulted a female army officer or anything, don't be ridiculous

They posted the unblurred version too and it's still up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Yes, that's what is the problem, and what the article shows.

Not as robust as EU. but we do have privacy laws and if she didn't sign a release, they're in trouble for doing that. Unfortunately as we've seen, nothing will be done.

Nope, Georgia is a one party consent state and technically the donut shop is public access so it’s legal, but still a complete dick move

I have only seen versions of the clip where her face was blurred. Did they say on tape that they were going to blur her and then didn't?

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I saw versions posted where her face was not blurred after the first one did. Thought that was pretty fucked up. I am willing to bet the blurred one was probably posted by non-conservative media.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’ve only seen the non blurred version. I assume that was what was first released and then others blurred. Big assumption in my part though.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I saw the unblurred version on national broadcast TV the other day.

What. The. Fuck
