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!

Trump put on an apron and took pictures for the media of him working behind the counter scooping fries. The guy has uncontrollable anal leakage to the point that he has to sit on pads so he doesnt stain couches, but Mcdonalds let him into the food prep area to touch peoples food???
WTF, mcdonalds. First you give away free food to the IDF, and now you quite literally smear shit on food for a photo op?

The towel/couch thing is not true. It looked like it on the pic and there were memes about it, but in the video it's clearly just his ridiculously long suit ties.
Trump has a million other valid things to mock, don't mock the debunked stuff or we're no better than Fox News.
I dont see that it has been debunked. Do you have info you can show me please? Old people wear diapers. It happens. I am quite literally taking care of 2 elderly adults who wear diapers right now. 45% of elderly wear diapers, and yes, you do smell them at times. In this case neither of us can prove or disprove his continence.
I cannot prove whether he's continent or not. I'm just saying I've seen multiple posts of him sitting on "a towel" like this

In which the videos clearly show it's just his stupidly long coat tails.
And debunked stuff like that is simply not needed when we're talking about Trump. We should check our sources and assumptions because the right does not.
No. its not clearly shown at all. Nor is it debunked. Looks like a towel to me. Nor do you have any proof at all.
For fucks sake.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. What did you do before deciding I have no proof? That it's "not debunked".
You don't have to disprove a negative, that's not how proof works.
All I'm trying to say is we should do our research lest we should be as susceptible to bullshit as the right is.
Look, I googled it. First result.

Edit: for those who don't want to watch a video, it clearly shows him sitting on the towel-less couch.
Stop being so stupid that I get put in the unenviable position of defending a man I despise.
