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!

Former president’s body odor was called into question by a former congressman

Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican representative, encouraged people to ‘wear a mask’ when they’re in the presence of former president Donald Trump due to his apparent odor.

Mr Kinzinger, a vocal critic of Mr Trump, took to his Twitter account this week to insinuate that the former president possesses a strong smell.

“I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor,” Mr Kinzinger wrote earlier this week.

“It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can,” he added.

The accusation garnered a lot of attention on the platform, with many mocking the former president for his alleged smell.

We are officially at the 'you're smelly' stage of American politics.

His cootie status is at present still unknown.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nah, I'm pretty sure he got cooties when that hooker peed on him

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Smart money's on said individual being a minor and that they got cooties from him.

Bill Gates wants you to get the Cootie shot so NASA can track you with 5G antifa satellites and chemtrails.

Did you see Ted Cruz trying to convince people that Biden shits his pants because he's old?

What the fuck is happening in American politics?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

And he said it in the most childish way possible too. It wasn't childish enough to accuse Biden of shitting his pants because he's old. He called him "poopy pants" because he has the mentality of a 6-year-old.

Typical GOP tactic - accuse others of the things you do.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (2 children)

And their response is literally "you farted!"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Lmao that was the best part of the article. "Trump smells? Well you farted!" Wtf has this world come to?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

No fart, no fart, you're the fart!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Honestly. I prefer it.

Next we should have world leaders fight 1 on 1 anytime they declare war

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Geopolitical Deathmatch! Stone Cold can host and announce!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Lock the cage and leave them in there!

I can hear the chanting now

TWO MEN ENTER

NO MEN LEAVE

TWO MEN ENTER...

Feed twenty through a chute, 1 at a time so only two fight at a time.

The winner gets to go through the only other door to face a “random” surprise…

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

I don't know what's worse.

The fact that here we are, or the fact that, apparently, it works.

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

Trump lowered the bar, shit on it, lowered it again, and we’ve been stuck in his loop since before 2016.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Except he is. One of my family members was on his communications detail. Trump was also literally slimy, the few times they shook hands.
