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!

STOP Making fun of Trump's Adult Children!

-Republicans making fun of an Autistic 17 Year Old!

The attacks on Walzs son are just to mess with his dad’s head, it’s just part of political strategy. It shows how sociopathic Republicans are, nothing is off-limits for them because they have no class, morals, ethics or standards

I love how he said "I didn't know the kid was disabled", as if that makes any difference whatsoever to the fact that he sent an unprovoked abusive tweet out about a kid being happy. Jay, you're an absolute CUNT.

That might be the best part of his apology :

"I didn't realize the kid was disabled, and have taken the post down. But, I've been challenging Walz on substance AND character ever since he was named as the VP candidate. He's a congenital liar who's destroyed Minn in a number of ways"

Basically a dickwad with the mental age of a five year old who can't own up to his mistakes. He even deleted his apology lol.

Faux News and Alina Habba were pearl clutching at the thought of Trump's "boys" being prosecuted for their role in the organization's fraud, which was weird because they're in their 40s, but then an actual child gets mocked and the right wing nut jobs are okay with it. It's always hypocrisy with these motherfuckers

As soon as I saw him react I knew these fucks would be childish about it.

Seems like a pretty normal kid to me. The Republican proving their weirdness yet again.

The most surprising part of this story is that what got the guy off the air was an appeal to advertisers, as if they didn't know the brand of hate these rage bait media personalities are selling on righty radio.

Republicans can't resist attacking minors. It's like they have an obsession with them.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Just being assholes in general. The juxtaposition between this kid and the hell spawn of Trump is so telling. Sweet endearing kinda goofy kid vs. Abject jackasses.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They're cowards who feel big when punching down

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

Chicken ass bitches

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

They can indeed resist, they just don't wanna.
