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!

The fuck you talking about? We have lots of jokes:

  • Orange man bad (because, and I can't believe I have to explain this, fascists are bad)

  • Two scoops

  • Mr. 6'3" is somehow shorter than 6'1" Obama

  • Billions and billions and billions and billions and...

  • Tiny hands

  • Accordion hands

  • The only two adjectives are "beautiful" and "perfect"

  • hamberders

  • covfefe

  • Drawer full of "medication"

  • Salutes North Korean generals

  • Lived in a gaudy gold-plated New York penthouse and shat in a gold-plated toilet, but is totally a man of the people and not one of the "elite"

  • Went bankrupt selling steaks to Americans

  • Went bankrupt selling alcohol to Americans

  • Went bankrupt selling gambling to Americans

  • Twice-divorced, thrice-married, slept-with-pornstars-and-paid-them-to-keep-quiet "man of God."

  • 2 Corinthians

  • The army "rammed the ramparts" and "took over the airports" in 1775

  • "Dumbest goddamn student I ever had."

  • Won't wear masks because it would smear his makeup. (Oh wait, there's that one joke again. Silly me!)

But I guess you are right about all of that being one joke- that Donald Trump was ever or will ever be fit to be President.

Iirc that wasn't just staring at the sun, that was staring at the sun during an eclipse.

Every time I think about that, I say to myself "Yup. That's the US President there."

Cue the "I'm proud to be an American...." song when you think about it.

[–] billiam0202 6 points 7 months ago

Oh Jesus fuck, how did I forget that one?

[–] billiam0202 6 points 7 months ago

I had "Diaper Don" on my list, but I guess I just forgot it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Bing bing, bong bong bong, bing bing! Your deep state software hasn't been updated to the latest memes!

The most recent one is "Don Poorleone" after the whole bond debacle.

[–] billiam0202 5 points 7 months ago

I'm not updating my list until my next Sorosbux check clears. The last one took too long to arrive.

[–] youngGoku 5 points 7 months ago

Oh I thought it was "deadbeat don"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

Republicans don't have the empathy or self-reflection to have a sense of humor.

[–] solidgrue 10 points 7 months ago

You forgot "Florida Man"

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

Do you remember that photo of his shitty combover being blown backwards where you could see the border between his skin and his clown makeup? It was circulating with some text like, "after you use Tupperware for spaghetti one time."

I don't think I know the two scoops one.

[–] billiam0202 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

White he was occupying the White House (you know, the 75% of the time he wasn't golfing) Trump would take two scoops of ice cream and make sure everyone else got just one scoop.

Hence the name "Donny Two-Scoops." Bonus point, that's also why Jr is named "Half-Scoop."
