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!

Ha, sunbathing! That fucking dungeon troll doesn't sunbathe, he sprays the tan directly on to his face.

So, um, when?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

Such a tragedy that Trump doesn't sunbathe though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

What a horrible thing to say!

If you reveal what your plan is it's less likely to succeed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Sunpainting

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

Joke's on you... I'm into that shit!

I'm pretty sure that's spray tan. Looks like Iran's intelligence isn't very good.

Oh no. Anyway

[–] [email protected] 16 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I don't believe that for a second. I'm gonna need proof.

Phhhht! Put up or shut up, Iran. No one thinks you'll do it. No one thinks you're a threat over here. You can't do it. You won't do it.

All talk. No action.

😇

Obvious lie as Trump uses tanning beds and makeup

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I’m more disturbed by now having to imagine Trump’s navel. How many belly folds is it under? Is it an innie or an outie? Lint content? 🤮

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

I mean come on and do it, what do you have to lose at this point. You clinging to the hope that maybe the US and Isreal might chose not to go to war with you?

as if he'd ever sun bathe

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago

Don’t tempt me with a good time

[–] [email protected] 23 points 13 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 12 points 13 hours ago

I triple dog dare you!

[–] [email protected] 69 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

I think their chances while golfing are higher.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

And the poop stain is an easier target than his navel... duhh

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago

I think they're referring to that as sunbathing.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 13 hours ago

Yeah I don't know why they think Trump would ever sunbathe. His orange hue doesn't come naturally.

There is probably an unspoken rule of geopolitics to the effect of "Don't start assassinating foreign dignitaries and heads of state unless you want everyone else to declare open season on you and yours." And it seems like we're getting closer to breaking that rule by the month.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

I mean, if that rule gets tossed out, I can only think of like 2 world leaders I'd be sad to see go. Russia is already actively trying to kill one of those.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Doubtful we'll see a powerful head of state call for such an act. More likely, we'll see some lone wolf who gets tied to a nation that immediately disavows them.

At some point, he'll piss off enough people that the world at large will just look the other way when it happens.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McElroy

McElroy was shot and killed in broad daylight as he sat with his wife Trena in his pickup truck on Skidmore's main street.[2] He was struck by bullets from at least two different firearms, in front of a crowd of people estimated as numbering between 30 and 46.[1] Despite the many witnesses, nobody came forward to say who shot him. To date, no one has been charged in connection with McElroy's death.

there 3 kinds of people...

those that say things. those that do things, and an incredibly small population of people who do what they say.

youre not #3, iran.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Wish they were #3 in this instance.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 13 hours ago

so does most of the planet.

/sigh

[–] [email protected] 292 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

This should be illegal. I think Iran has gone a step too far at this point. I don't think there is a single person alive who would condone this.

No one, I repeat NO ONE, wants to imagine Trump sunbathing.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 13 hours ago

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 13 hours ago

No worries. I don’t think he sunbathes in any capacity and any color he has is just sprayed locally from the ears out.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I know, right? How am I going to get that image out of my head? It's almost enough to make me support censorship.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago

Having Aphantasia can be a blessing at times.
