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!

Brave Sir Elon ran away. Bravely ran away away. When danger reared it's ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Elon turned about And gallantly he chickened out. Swiftly taking to his feet, He beat a very brave retreat. Bravest of the brave, Sir Elon!

Let me tell you all how surprised I am.

Ok, I'm done.

What a fucking coward. I was actually excited for this. I should have known better.

I think they're calling elon a pussy, which is ironic because a pussy is far stronger than he will ever be

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yah, most pussies can take a real beating in my experience.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh I am well aware; I have one of my own!

Also, fairly confident if people had the option of being with Musk or a generic pussy. The pussy would win.

Musk probably watched Stewart’s conservative show interview appearances over on YouTube, dating back to his first stint on the daily show. They couldn’t trip Stewart. He rolled over all of them. The interviews stopped, again, surprising no one.

Jon Stewart single-handedly got CNN's "Crossfire" ( featuring a not-yet-fully-crazy Tucker Carlson) cancelled just by going on the show and doing his thing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Stewart%27s_2004_appearance_on_Crossfire

In the final exchange before a commercial break, Carlson remarked that he thought Stewart was "more fun on your show, just my opinion." Stewart responded, "You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show."

(Shit, that was over 20 years ago. I'm old ....)

Right? Makes you feel old, doesn’t it?

Elon can’t handle it so he ducked out. In addition, Tesla probably texted him and said don’t.

His cybertruck sent him a message saying "this is an uphill battle. I cannot help, you're on your own"
