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!

And you just know he's got some rank-ass hamberder farts too. The White House staff must've been airing the place out for weeks when that stinky fuck left office. My sympathies go out to anyone stuck in that courtroom with Trump for however long this case lasts... Except for the defense of course. Let those mfers huff away.

I wonder if it is possible to be held in contempt if you just keep farting nonstop in court

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

You can be held in contempt for anything disruptive, so if it's deliberate and can be proven then yes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

You almost just killed me right now. Literally couldn't breathe xD

Same for the people in court next to Farty McTrumpPants too, probably x'D

Let's be real. Diaper Don is straight up shitting himself

[–] Grobmobularb 37 points 7 months ago

Is there someone there checking his diaper too? The big fat baby needs a changing.

[–] MeekerThanBeaker 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I prefer the term "Drowsy Donald."

[–] jeffw 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I’ve seen Drowsy Don a lot too. It’s alliterative, so it works well. On the other hand “Sleepy Joe” was his term for Biden

He's 77 years old, I'm hardly surprised

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

Nobody is surprised, but when you nickname your political opponent "sleepy joe" to deride his age and ability to stay attentive, publicly falling asleep at something you need to stay attentive to over and over and over again is worth pointing out.
