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 mean we really don't laugh at Biden. he's just some generic politician as far as we (the rest of the world) are concerned.

its just the brain-dead Trump nuts who seem to think we see him the same as those lunatics

I don't understand the second point. Who's seeing who like "those lunatics?"

[–] jcit878 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

its not that hard mate.

and case in point why we are still laughing

I'm not a mind reader, I don't know who's who according to you.

You have a president that barely can talk, barely can walk. I've seen edits of it in European languages shared around in Instagram and media. And in Eastern European countries, your army having diversity hires is a laughing material. I've seen soldiers laughing at that first hand. Because for them, every soldier must meet incredibly high standards where just having a scar could get you eliminated.

I don't know who's fault is what, but people are still laughing at you. You could build a utopia and people will still find something to laugh at. Therefore it's not really logical to compare "who's more of a laughing stock than other."

i dont even have a president in my country, unless you count maybe president of some company. 'barely walk, barely talk' - are we talking about the covfefe drinking, hamberder eating idiot here? i guess the yanks had one of those. biden could literally be any one of the other forgettable world leaders like macron, trudeau, albanaese, the british guy, the danish chick, who cares. they are administrators.

you on the other hand seem obsessed with biden specifically. given the way you write, it sounds like your not even american, so why exactly does bidens ability to walk have to do with you exactly? are we both laughing at america but you think its because biden 'cant walk'? because its pretty obvious I'm personally laughing at america because they elected an ape that cant string a tweet (edit, an X) together yet somehow half the country think he's god

This conversation is going nowhere. I've told I live next to Syria, not US. You asked what are people laughing at and I delieved. It's not that complicated. I didn't even say anything about what I think of Biden. I just listed things that I saw floating around.

I didn’t even say anything about what I think of Biden

you kept rambling about how he cant walk or talk, so yeah, you did. Its ok, its pretty clear you took issue with the fact i referred to the former president of america and his followers as idiots, for some reason...

you are right about one thing though, this conversation isnt going anywhere and i really should remember from reddit days that arguing with stupid gets you nowhere. enjoy 'syria' i guess. is that a town in florida?

Literally the second sentence points out where I saw that. Maybe work on your comprehension skills before calling people names? Have a nice day, give my blessinga to people around you!
