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!

Donald Trump’s debate fail appears to have short-circuited the brain of one of his biggest cheerleaders. Elon Musk remained silent while Trump was blowing his first debate with Kamala Harris but issued a bizarre response to Taylor Swift endorsing Harris at the end of the night.

Just think. There's a parallel universe somewhere, where six years ago he just congratulated that diver for rescuing those kids, accepted that his robot needed some work to be useful, and just expressed relief that they'd been bought out alive.

And we're stuck in this fucking one.

Just because everything that can happen, will happen in the multiverse theory, doesn't make this a possibility. This was never on the table - that would just require way too many unlikely particle decay events ;)

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

He said "I will," not "I would" or "I will if you want." He is saying he will act regardless of consent. That's not an offer, it's a threat. Calling it an offer is disinformation.

Swift is too smart for him. She knows he's an immigrant and just wants to get into her place so he can eat her cats.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hope she moves to another platform and takes her peeps with her.

Leon is a conservative dipshit running a glorified message board for other conservative dipshits.

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

She should setup her own instance

Did the Kennedy brainworms spread successfully?

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

Dumbass wouldnt get within 50 feet of her before her security beat him into the ground

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

Leon Musk is weird.

[–] [email protected] 85 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You all are missing the point. It has nothing to do with actually wanting to date/impregnate her. He is so insanely jealous of her and the fact she doesn't have to be a complete edgy tool or buy a whole platform to make people listen to her like he does. It's about taking all of her accomplishments, her fame, her fortune, her following, her talent and negating it by debasing her into nothing but a womb that would jump at the chance to have that human cheesecloth on top of her.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why do you hate cheesecloths? They are useful.

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

Good point. Wet crepe paper?

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

Ambulatory yeast infection?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Fart? Yes, I like this name fart.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Ah, yes, another completely normal, well-adjusted statement by the man himself.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

At the first read, I assumed he would buy and gift a child and I can't decide if that's better or worse.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I was gonna ask if he has visitation rights on any of his kids before giving one away.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's weirdest to me is that he said this about another billionaire. Like it's not any grosser, it's just so... Uncharacteristic of high society?

Like he's the wealthiest man on Earth and he says this about Taylor Swift?

Shows you that money can't bring you anywhere close to happiness I guess.

Or intelligence.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 month ago (2 children)

In case y’all didn’t know, he already has 12 kids… so this might be a credible threat.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

I feel like it's pretty obvious now that his desire to start a Mars colony is purely an extension of his eugenics tinged breeding kink

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 month ago (1 children)

12 kids that he claims. There's probably several rape babies out there too

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

Broer wat afgaan In die land bly in die land

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

That’s why he’s going to mars. What happens on earth, stays on earth.

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

I listened to an old radio show where an episode had this line in it. Might’ve been X-1.

Anyway yeah earth is space Vegas that’s why it’s chaotic here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

That sounds like a cool movie.

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

Damn are Republicans so creepily weird.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Every single day I get a yucky feeling when I remember that people are still using his garbage website/app/platform.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

Kinda glad Taylor didn't post her announcement on Twitter.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

It's strange but also on brand for him.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

No, see, he has a bunch of kids, so maybe he's proposing she adopt one of them.

That's better, right???
