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!

COUNTDOWN TO DEEPFAKE calling it now. Followed by conspiracy theorists claiming the whole spat was a false flag to delegitimise evidence

Man Elon Musk could have just shut up after the Joe Rogan interview and quietly ran his companies and people might still think he was cool, but he was way too stupid and up his own ass to do that so he made literally everybody hate him instead and it’s going to tank his companies.

The dudes literally a drug addict in cognitive decline. You're not gonna find logic or reason there

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

We all know Trump fucks and pees on children, this is not new info.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It's a fake fight. It's to distract you from the fact that DOGE is stealing your information and to drive traffic to their respective social media sites. You've been conned...again.

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

It's real. To be fake it would take professional wrestling levels of acting ability. And do you really think either of these two has that?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I mean...they literally have Linda McMahon in the administration...

Nah it's a real fight. They're all narcissistic man babies.

They never bothered to hide any of the other private info stealing. Why would they start now?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Honestly at this point I'm kind of thinking it's both - it started out as a planned distraction but being the pair of thin skinned narcissistic man children they are, they both just lost the fucking plot.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

I'm thinking it's a real fight that is also accomplishing those other things.

I have weird feelings about this feud because for once I agree with both of them. We should impeach Trump, and we should also cancel all of Musk's contracts.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

¿Porque no los dos?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago

Agreed...

Would make me happiest to see them take each other down.

Though I have concerns that Couch Fucker just might be even worse in the long run. 🤡 🤷‍♂️

Common knowledge, but always good to refresh the memory. Like, i've almost forgotten about that Brock fellow...

[–] [email protected] 117 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Are you speaking of Brock Turner? The rapist Brock Turner? The Brock Turner that raped the young woman behind the dumpster?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

The same rapist Brock Turner who changed his name to rapist Allen Turner, to escape the bad press after he raped someone.

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

Yeah, I remember the rapist Brock turner, who is a rapist.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago

The convicted rapist Brock Turner?

FTFY

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That didn't take long, but yes, the rapist Brock Turner....who changed his name, if I am correct

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, last I'd heard the rapist Brock Allen Turner was going by Allen Turner. That rapist.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That rapist is going to change his name more often than Blackwater.

Both too proud to de-escalate the situation. What the hell are they even arguing about? They're both children in suits.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Trump was mentored by Roy Cohn. Cohn was Joe McCarthy's attack dog and had a reputation as the most vicious lawyers in New York. Cohn was the guy who taught Donny to make contracts with mid level businesses and then stiff them.

Trump repaid these lessons by abandoning Cohn when he found out Cohn had AIDS

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know any of these names but I bet this was a smart comment. I just know too little.

As depicted in The Apprentice (the movie).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I genuinely think something is broken in Trump. The closest thing he ever had to a friend is Jeffrey Epstein.

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

I remember an old black and white movie where one pirate saves another's life.

I can't recall the exact line, but it was something like "I had to save you; you're the only other person I've ever met who is as evil as I am."

Not children. Corrupt degenerate criminals that lack humanity.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

... That act like children. That's what my point was.

A clip from 1992 isn't new. If you've got new details, spill 'em. Right now he's just saying what everyone else had been saying for years.

[–] [email protected] 93 points 1 day ago (5 children)

He's shining a spotlight on what MAGAts have ignored.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

Or straight up denied. "He was on the plane but he never went to the island"

Doesn't seem to be part of the definitions on the first page, but I've also always pronounced it "maggot" because they are willing to eat literal shit from their orange false king as long as they are convinced the libs are eating day-older shit

They don't care. If anything this will increase his popularity with them.

Gotta hope nothing rash happens.. he holds national secrets...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I hope something rash does happen. Like, the kind of rash thing that cuts the number of idiots in this feud in half. Enemy of my enemy and all that.
