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

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 don’t get it, why pudding?
I mean, he ate pudding with his fingers
3 fingers specifically
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ron-desantis-2024-pudding-fingers-b2345159.html
But which 3? Index, middle, ring is the obvious... But what if it's middle, ring, pinky? Could the thumb be involved? What if it's index, ring, pinky... America demands answers!
If it was his index, middle, and pinky that would be shocking.
Could the thumb be involved still?
Real Americans knock that shit back!
Out of all the things to call this guy on. Watevr, hope it works.
It's not the left who is calling him out on it, it's his fellow conservatives. We're mostly enjoying Trump's one good nickname ever- Meatball Ron.

Basically, DeSantis was allegedly observed eating chocolate pudding with three bare fingers.
How is Trump struggling to find a good insult against DeSantis when this is right there for the taking?
RINO Ron is right freaking there for the taking.
Trump’s ability is slipping in his one major skill.
It’s almost like his claims that Biden is senile are all just projections.

I'm not reading all that. Is it really a whole ass thing and not something simple like "he scooped pudding into his dumb face with his sausage fingers instead of using a spoon"
i mean, that's pretty much it. don't think there was even photos. just something an assistant said happened, pretty sure.
just posted all those for background. for the motivated. to answer the question.
But yeah, it's GOP politics... you're not going to get substance. it's high school equivalent bitching and moaning, as always.
I don't understand it, but I find it hilarious nonetheless.
