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!

This motherfucker probably doesn't actually know the definition of "pronoun". He just thinks it's a bad lefty word. Hence why he doesn't want them. So do we just refer to him as "it" now?

[–] GlendatheGayWitch 46 points 6 months ago (2 children)

No, because "it" is a pronoun as well. You would have to use Donald's name every time you reference Donald in order to keep from using pronouns to refer to Donald.

There's always old reliable, "that thing over there"

God Emperor Slugturd the Bigly.

Oh I guarantee he doesn't know the definition of "pronoun," I'd stake my retirement on it.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mean, he literally referred to himself as "I" right then, which is a pronoun.

[–] captainlezbian 11 points 6 months ago

No we just refer to dumbass as dumbass. It’s a nickname not a pronoun

[–] meeeeetch 2 points 6 months ago

Trump doesn't want pronouns. Trump does not want to be referred to.

[–] [email protected] 97 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Everything makes sense now. Trump identifies as a couch.

JD Vance coming in from the ropes with a 💦💦💦💦💦💦

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

In a sense, he is the true Pull-Out King

[–] just_another_person 3 points 6 months ago

You get one. Just one.

[–] TropicalDingdong 5 points 6 months ago

ngl, I always thought it was Giuliani that had the look of an itallian leather sofa. I also wonder if this is where Vance got his inspiration.

[–] aesthelete 42 points 6 months ago (4 children)

He's definitely fluid. More specifically he's anal leakage.

[–] return2ozma 9 points 6 months ago

Sounds like a Rick Santorum.

[–] NegativeInf 4 points 6 months ago

Explains the jumbo diapers. Gotta have that max absorbency.

I read a while back that people who use cocaine addicts tend to lose control of their bowels. And Donny is a product of the 80s where cocaine was running wild in the NY business scene.

[–] cabron_offsets 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Surely you must be talking about his facial anus.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 months ago

he doesn't 'want' pronouns

You want to repeat the entire noun or noun phrase every single time you refer back to it?

Are we banning demonstrative pronouns as well, or just personal pronouns?

Knowing conservatives they'll probably ban pronouns, privatize all nouns and sell off entire declensions to some useless son of a political donor. We'll all have pay for every object or concept we describe, meanwhile the ruling class will be 'this'ing and 'he'ing with enough gay abandon to re-crash grinder.

[–] TheBat 21 points 6 months ago

I don't want pronouns either

I'm tired of this grind and rat race

Give me amateurnouns and UBI

The video: (removed Twitter link) see @[email protected] link instead

I'm dying. Dead. Laughing so hard at the Taco Bell right now.

[–] TropicalDingdong 39 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Can any one help non-shitter-ify this link?

I too want to die.

edit: found a resource to do it: https://twittervid.com/

video without giving shitter front end a click:

After watching the video, Ingham was 100% put up to that. She gives a just off camera look before asking the question with an about to be shit-eating-grin, then asks it, and there is an audible off camera chuckle.

Donald Trump, genderfluid candidate for president of hamberder island.

He's fluid alright... that crusty white fluid that very obese, very old men like dennis prager always have surrounding their mouths. He's dried mouth fluid crust.

I think I remember reading that this foam is actually a symptom of something pretty serious but I can't remember what.
