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!

I didn't think he was having an affair with Laura Loomer until he basically insisted he wasn't as an answer to an unrelated question.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Maybe he just thinks he had an affair with her because he daydreamed while he was schlackin' it on the toilet. Who knows what's going on in that diseased brain at this point.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You broke my magic streak of never having had a mental picture of trump masturbating. I didn't know how special that was until it was gone, and now I want it back.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Don't sweat it, he probably smacked his stubby little pud around until getting so frustrated by his erectile dysfunction he angry posted to social media about how he won the debate.

His little Cheeto shaped pud.

Idk based on her actions it would not surprise me in the least if she’s sucking on that spray tan for a cabinet position

Just like the cognitive tests. No one asked him how he did on the cognitive tests, heck no one can find out how he actually did thanks to HIPAA. But he obvously has no understanding of that so he thinks he needs to get ahead of the story of how terribly he did on the cognitive tests.

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

This is the classic Trump response to an awkward, uncomfortable question. 1) Don't answer the question and then 2) Answer another question that nobody asked.

For example, when Trump was asked about paying for hookers, instead of simply saying, "I don't patronize prostitutes" he said, "I'm a germophobe" instead.

Laura Loomer is dreaming big. She wants one day to be buried under a golf course in New Jersey.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Everything is legal in New Jersey.

I'd also like to add she's dumb as a rock, just in case anyone missed that.

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

Truly a match made in heaven.

Loomer, for her part, fired back by tweeting that Graham is disloyal to Trump and a closeted gay man, while attacking Greene as antisemitic and mocking the circumstances of her divorce.

I love watching their infighting.

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

The Graham thing is pretty obvious, and would make me feel bad for him having to constantly hide his sexuality if he didn't choose to tie himself to a political ideology where being openly gay is political suicide.

She must be crazier than a shithouse rat if MAGA won't accept her.

Do it, Donald. You knowwww you want to. And what Donald wants, Donald gets (to sink his campaign even further)

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Lmao hold the fucking phone guys. THIS is what does it? THIS is a bridge too far…?

Honestly, I don’t get it, but I’ll try not to overthink it.

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

Honestly... My first thought is that it might be about the gender of the messenger...

Am I imagining things, but has anyone else noticed that there doesn't seem to be a clear picture of who she is? Like she'll be taking a professional shoot, and somehow, she still doesn't look recognizable?

Ignoring the exaggerated plastic surgery and attention seeking hair style and new level of stupid, there's something uncanny about her.

Like if you told me she was an automatonric puppet I'd say yeah, id believe you, because I've seen better ones at Disney world.

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

She's the real lizard people republicans are afraid of!

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

Every other MAGA article I read, someone mentions skin suits. Vance has no fucking idea what a donut is, cares only about glaze. The Trump offspring shooting big cats on a safari, having more chins than should be possible with skin attached to muscle. Trump looks like he'll pop in half any second and a dozen alien clowns spill out of him. What is it with these tiny fucking hands on that lump? Rudi sweats black. These people are so fucking weird.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (4 children)

If MAGA Republicans don’t like her, then you know she is bad.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If all I knew about her was that magats hate her, I'd assume she's awesome.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well within context of course.

Following the antics of 45 Skidoo is exhausting.

I thought he was with Hope Hicks, and then learned she'd thrown him under the bus at the NYC fraud trial.

Meanwhile, Melania is sitting with a ghost writer and trying to decide who she wants to play her in the movie version.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (8 children)

Who should play her, do you think?

If you're doing a serious drama Nicole Kidman or Sandra Bullock.

Comedy Drama? Tina Fey

Full comedy? Melissa McCarthy or Amy Schumer [because it would make the real Melania's head explode]

Trump wants her close cuz she touches his pipi.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Do it. Don't listen to the RHINOs telling you not to, this I'd the best idea ever.

Honestly though, besides positively reinforcing every pathology he has, she's probably also literally shining his... ... ...butt.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

She's worse than nuts. She's a fucking asshole on the verge getting undue power.

He keeps Stephen Miller around, trust this idiot's friends will not convince him to dump her until she makes him look so bad even he realizes it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

laura loomer and donald trump have dominated the headlines, for the simple reason people can't stop posting about it. it's their only plan. it's how they keep harris and waltz below the fold, it's their only fucking plan. stop helping them.

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

Disagree. This needs to be the story. This needs to be even more the story than it is now.

There's nothing "free" about being a racist and an <insert minority>-phobe. It's a day in, day out non-stop nightmare. Anxiety and desperation are the only emotions she's capable of experiencing. Everything she says and does in her life is fuelled by terror. And it's all of her own making. So not only is she a bigot, she's too stupid to have the depth of character necessary to recognise that it's all based on nothing.
