Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

The tasteless joke was referring to the current state of Puerto Rico right now, which IS full of trash on beaches and shit to super concerning levels. Trump supporting Puerto Ricans found it tasteless but not offensive, while Harris supporting Puerto Ricans found it offensive, this situation is fucking stupid.
Maybe if his spawn's failson husband didn't oppsidaisy the federal contract to restore its infrastructure to a middleman shell company nobody's ever heard of it would be in better condition... or if it wasn't Washington's proving ground for the effects of cruel and unusual policies nobody except companies want. Or if they could spend money on their own infrastructure before paying back bonds like everyone else can legally do. Or maybe if Trump gave any shits at all about it as his entire presidency was riddled with hatred towards US territories like "at least the only thing in range of North Korea's nuke is Guam." I'm sure there isn't metric tons of evidence that his policies reflected that opinion.
You do realize there was a lot more racist bullshit spewed at that rally, not just from the one “comedian” right?
And you do realize that I am only referring to the person most people were bitching about, without the extra context?
And I am aware of the crazed old Pro-Isreal guy that appeared on stage, most of the MAGA crowd behind him started saying no in response to his offensive comments, after a bit, on video.
I dunno bro, I saw a lot of bright smiling teeth behind him DURING the joke. Not a single person I know with a soul did anything other than gasp. The entire rally was full of opaque out and open fascist statements and disgusting needlessly aggressive remarks about opponents. If you think it wasn't similar to the MSG Nazi rally then you really ought to watch it. Your blinders are letting you get slow-walked to nazism.
If you think that's what the joke was about, then congrats, you're probably a conservative, because clearly you have no understanding of comedy.
