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!

Oh, he likes to groom little girls too?

"OMFG [Ivanka Trump where the hell are you?!?!?!? Politics aside do something FFS," the user, Jil, wrote.

Sounds like she is doing something. She's avoiding her father's clusterfuck now that she and her husband got their multi-billion dollar Saudi deal and don't need him.

It's so weird that this is the statement that makes some of his supporters question his sanity or ability to form and communicate coherent thoughts...I would say there's a trail of breadcrumbs of much more damning statements going back as far as you're willing to look, but it's more like a trail of roach-infested bakeries.

both were tools who thought they were king

My opinion on Elvis has changed after watching the recent movie. I feel like he was psychologically abused and pushed into a life of drugs and alcohol.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And its 100% factual?

Also, sounds like Walk Hard lol

When he died on the toilet shitting himself

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Don't think Trump's chronically constipated. If anything, quite likely the opposite.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago

No, he looks like Elvis today after 56 years of decay.

Apparently he smells worse.

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

Lol. Even if he was a 1 for 1 exact copy of Elvis, only the irrelevant would give a shit. I look forward to the day when I'm old and for some fucked up reason the names ”Elvis” and "Trump" come up and people ask me who they were and whether due to dementia or just old age I can smile a fat grin and simply say, "I don't remember."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

On the other hand, schoolkids in the future could one day be taught that a former president said he looked like Elvis while he was campaigning. Next to a picture of both him and Elvis. And then they will say, "what the fuck was wrong with people in 2024?!"

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

Guys, he meant currently. You know, like a decomposing corpse.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh? I thought he was just monumentally stupid.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Could be both.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

nothing will stop the simpleminded to vote for hate. unless the orange is locked away murica is doomed to become idiocracy as a livestream.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Even if he's locked up, they'll vote for him. The only real way they won't vote for him is if they can't find his name on the ballot.

That first one looks like he runs Argentina.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

The parent comment and this one were a 1-2 punch for me this morning, just glad i wasn't mid-sip when i saw/read that lol

[–] [email protected] 42 points 9 months ago (1 children)

... Have we seen them in the same room?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Maybe he gave up on winning in 24 and decided he'd fuck up another country instead. Why do you think Argentinas economy is tanking?

I agree. He looks like a man who took too many drugs, ate too much junk, and then died on his bathroom floor mid-shit.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 9 months ago

Dont. Don't give me hope.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Can we dig up Elvis and do a side by side comparison? He's probably right, but I don't suppose fat Elvis is fat anymore.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Elvis didn't die he just went home

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah went home to shit, where he died.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (2 children)

No he went into a home after swapping places with an Elvis impersonator.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

As explained in that excellent documentary "Bubba Ho-Tep"
