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!

And I asked him, I said to him, and noone had asked him that question, I asked him, and he said noone had ever asked him, I said to him, would you stay on the boat, the boat is sinking, so the boat is under water, but there's a shark, but the boat is sinking, and there is a battery, so I asked him, and noone had ever asked him, I asked him, would you stay on the boat, the boat that is under water, and there is a battery, so there is electric, I asked him, and there is a shark, I asked him, and he said nobody had ever asked him, I asked him do you jump off the boat? The boats underwater, but there's a boat, and there is electricity, but there's a shark, so I asked him, and he said he had never been asked this before, I asked him, do you jump off the boat that is now under water? Do you stay on the?... Do you stay in the boat and get eaten by the shark? Because the boat is under... do you stay on the boat, that's under water, and get eaten by the shark? Or do you get electrocuted?
He said he didn't know. He said noone had ever asked him that.
That's enough about the boat.
-Based on a real speech Trump gave at a rally that resulted in everyone leaving early.
Here's the transcript. It's a rant against electric boats.
Okay.
Do the video clip.
There are many clips from news shows and reaction videos on this, but I really don't think anyone needs a funny person to explain it and editing only makes it appear out of context.
His speech is perfectly idiotic without any editing or explanation.
This is the uncut speech with a timestamp to the boat thing.

Thank you good sir.
Give up on your kbin.social account?
Using kbin.social and kbin.earth simultaneously while Ernest works out his health issues/figures out how to grow his team to cover while he focuses on his health.
I definitely prefer kbin.social, but it is definitely suffering while the captain is addressing other matters.
I've been happy with kbin.run.
Going to second this. It hit critical mass of users where the all feed isn't just one person's special interests just after the thread a few months back and it's like i never moved.
Same. I didn't want to leave kbin, but I needed an instance that works.
I think I'm still automatically donating five bucks every month to Ernest, anyway. Hope he gets back on his feet someday.
I'll check it out.
Definitely wasn’t expecting to see an RVA username on Lemmy tonight.
That’s like a Stewart Lee joke
