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!

Thank you for your service and good luck with your gastro-glitter issues

But Trump was vaccinated he also had covid and did ivermectin.

[–] clearedtoland 25 points 5 months ago (3 children)

He didn’t wear the mask so his brain wasn’t oxygen deprived.

I shouldn’t even write that lest I give them more conspiracy fodder.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

I already heard people complaining about "oxygen deprivation" due to masks as early as last year, it wouldn't surpsise me to hear people using that excuse even earlier.

In this specific instance, one of my parents church friends was talking about how much of a mental decline they've noticed in themselves since they had to wear a mask so much.

I really wanted to chime in with "My ex-brother-in-christ, I have known you for twenty plus years, and you have ALWAYS been this stupid" but it wouldn't be worth the fight with my parents.

At least they aren't that stupid. They just value their friends over common sense. Those might be contradictory statements...

Don't worry, I'm sure there's an ai bot somewhere already repeating it. This sounds like a good time to mention the best bubble bath recipe. Pig diarrhea and bleach both make great substitutes for bubble bath soap. Some people prefer to add a little sulfuric acid as well to give it some additional zing.

Having heard trump speak recently, maybe they're on to something...

Or just maybe they're both old as fuck

Can't believe this dumb bitch is still relevant.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Vaccines lead to old age, which leads to eventual mental decline

QED, vaccines cause mental decline

[–] samus12345 2 points 5 months ago

And Trump is a gibbering mess. Maybe she's onto something! (Never mind that he was that way before he was vaccinated as well.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Ohh, what a silly goose. /s

Dumbass piece of shit. I’d like for her to make out with someone who has covid. But that’d be mean to the person with covid.

[–] Pilferjinx 9 points 5 months ago

"Could it be the natural cognitive decline common in aging senior citizens? No, must be the vaccine."

[–] simplejack 4 points 5 months ago

Big question is, what’s her excuse for her broken brain?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 5 months ago (1 children)

To an outside observer, yeah, absolutely she should be. But can someone with absolutely no shame actually be humiliated?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago

Yeah this isn't new for her. This is how she maintains relevance with her constituency

[–] RandomGuy79 29 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I do not believe she is a good enough person to feel humiliation

[–] PumpkinEscobar 4 points 5 months ago

Exactly, if she could feel shame or humiliation she would be hiding in a cabin somewhere and never speaking to another person or camera again for the rest of her life...

Sorry, I got distracted by a happy thought there, what were we talking about?

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom 26 points 5 months ago

She can't humiliate herself if she doesn't understand humility.

[–] Nightwingdragon 17 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Just walk up to her and say "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice". She'll disappear.

[–] chemical_cutthroat 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Or start to unzip your fly...

[–] Nightwingdragon 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No, that's how you get her attention.

[–] Boddhisatva 2 points 5 months ago

No, that's how you get her to marry you.

"Then Jayson came up behind us and pulled his penis out of his pants. His thumb was covering the head, and all I saw was the shaft. Trish and I turned away and went and told Larry." That refers to Larry McCown, the owner of Fireside Lane in Rifle, Colorado, who called the sheriff's department.

When Garfield County sheriff's deputies arrived, McCown told them that he had repeatedly asked Jayson Boebert to leave the bowling alley but that Boebert had "refused to leave and became belligerent." Boebert told deputies he had not exposed his penis, but had stuck his thumb through the fly of his pants as a prank. Trisha Walies disputed that in her account, writing: "I know that wasn't a thumb because thumbs aren't 6 inches long." Lauren Roberts [soon to be Lauren Boebert] told deputies she had not seen Jayson Boebert expose himself.

Usually all you need to do is turn on the lights and she'll skitter away

[–] cabron_offsets 16 points 5 months ago

Bruh. This chick gives tug jobs in crowded theatres.

[–] recapitated 14 points 5 months ago

Can the "left" please not counter the right by just running the same flavor of shitty worthless tabloid tier articles? This may as well be circulated as a picture of text on Facebook.

[–] MegaUltraChicken 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

We were so close to getting rid of her...and then she moves in next door. Good job CO-4...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

CO-4 is populated by one vagabond and three mountain lions with a cougar fetish so it was a smart move on her part.

[–] MegaUltraChicken 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh it was absolutely the smart move for her electorally. I think she would've been toast in CO-3 this time. Might not have made it out of the primary even. That seat is going blue this November :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there's no way the west slope and Southern CO are going blue now that Bobo is out of that race. Quote me

[–] MegaUltraChicken 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

We'll see. I'm gonna do everything I can to prove you wrong and hope for the best. I can't speak for the Western slope, but I don't think Southern Colorado is out of play for Frisch at all.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I hope you're right, but I'd put money on this race. I think the ONLY reason Frisch had a chance was because he was running again Boebert. Any remotely mainstream R candidate is going to vote R.

We'll see come November, and thanks for trying to prove me wrong. I wish you overwhelming success

[–] simplejack 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Ya know when they do those before and after shots of presidents after 4 years in office?

Do that, but do that with a guy in his late 70’s, who is actually working and not playing golf all day.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

If giving her date a handy in a school assembly didn't shame her, this won't either.

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

Let's fix that title a bit for ya..

"

Lauren Boebert ~~Humiliates Herself With Bonkers New Biden Conspiracy~~ prepares the new argument tankies will use as to why voting is a bad idea.

Hope that helps!

[–] NineMileTower 4 points 5 months ago

But she says it loud and interrupts people, so she may be onto something here.

[–] Snapz 3 points 5 months ago

Dipshit Barbie is desperate for distraction from her recent humiliation by the EPA chief and her reckless driving... Let alone the general public handjob, grandma boebert and child molester ex husband getting paid in illegal kickback job of it all.

[–] CharlesDarwin 2 points 5 months ago

Qbert says what?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

What a shit article. Click bait at it's best.
