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!

Decapitate that bitch

Clown Loomer still has some of Donny’s orange concealer on her lips…

She looks like one of the dudes from Deep Space Nine

Two clowns walk into a bar at the same time, trying to fit through the doorway simultaneously.

Clown 1: Look at this clown!

Clown 2: honks nose, spritizes Clown 1 with water from lapel flower, silently does dramatic crying face emote/pantomime

Camera pans to all the bar patrons

... They are all clowns.

Loony Loomer

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Loomer looks like an alien to me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

They sidelined Wiles from the jump.

Between mushroom licks I assume

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

No. Nope. That’s not an image I needed in my head, thanks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

She openly bragged about it last year

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

a head so ugly only a guillotine could love it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Hard to stop the pillow talk.

She must be one heck of a chickenhead

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

You're not wrong but give some credit to chickens. A chicken on a bingo card floor could probably run this country better than the current circus.

She, an outspoken 9/11 was an inside job conspiracy peddler went to the 9/11 memorial event with DJT during the campaign. I would say she’s Grima Wormtongue-ing her way into his mind, but I think he’s already got that covered with his Fox News/OAN feedback loop. Also, this isn’t meant to be making fun of the way she looks, but why do all MAGA cult women have such ridiculous facial augmentations? Is it a prerequisite to make yourself look like Handsome Squidward to rise in the ranks?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

That would make at least two prominent Trump Admin figures with worms in their minds.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I'm about 99% sure that she is "Grima Wormtongue-ing her way into his mind," and she's doing it by way of his pants.

And I don't think she's acting entirely on her own behalf - she's essentially a messenger.

"That is very scary to think that a far-right conspiracy theorist has the president's ear," she added.

He's been a far right conspiracy theorist for as long as I can remember.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

far right & far wrong—hey, he’s a Gemini!

We should all gravitate to DC

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I really don't understand women who gravitate to the right wing. People like Loomer are going to have me reading Andrea Dworkin.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

The power itty bitty mushroom peen compels them ? 😏

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

She likes changing diapers?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

lots of reasons - early indoctrination, for one. but there are also benefits for women like this.

women who buy in are given a lot of power - over other women, minorities, children. they're also told that they'll be protected from the harm they see happening to other women (that they and the men in their lives participate in creating). i recall a recovering white supremacist woman who believed the white men around her wanted to protect good white women and girls until she was at an event and witnessed a bunch of guys raping a girl. she understood the lie, then.

so, for the same reason as the men. fear and control. and for public figures like this, money and power. women are as painfully human as men are, so over the years i've come to accept that the only reason more women aren't shitheads politically in the way conservative men are is because the harm from being a shithead hits them in more direct ways, like not being able to get appropriate healthcare.

anyway, that's my rambling answer.

Your reply reminded me of something I heard/read once, maybe on Lemmy: those who agree there is corruption but get angry when the corruption is exposed are probably benefitting from the corruption. That's probably not the exact quote, but the gist of it.
