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!

I will say.....

The question of "Who is better looking, Donald Trump or Kamala Harris?" was asked by exactly zero people in the course of human history until he said that.

And the list of people through the course of human history who gave even a sliver of a fuck what the answer is is:

  • Donald Trump

That also happens to be the only person who believes that Trump is better looking than Harris, crazy right?

[–] wolfpack86 21 points 4 months ago

Nah, I believe that Trump is better looking than Harris... In an orange jumpsuit behind bars.

“They will say he’s rambling. I don’t ramble. I’m a really smart guy,” he rambled.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Smart people don’t tell you how smart they are.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What a weird attack from an ugly (both personality and aesthetics) person.

[–] uberdroog 9 points 4 months ago

Like a peach grimace holding in 80 years of farts, but yeah, ok. Having money convinced him all the platitudes were legit. They were not.

[–] CitizenKong 36 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Well, Kamala certainly doesn't need to create a fake Time cover like the one of Trump that hangs in several of his Golf courses: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-time-magazine-with-trump-on-the-cover-hangs-in-his-golf-clubs-its-fake/2017/06/27/0adf96de-5850-11e7-ba90-f5875b7d1876_story.html Which is totally not completely weird.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

I'd heard of this before, I'd thought it was stupid before, but I wasn't aware of just how bad the fake was. Did they never hold it side by side with a real cover? Hell, why not use real covers as templates?

Never was a fan of Reagan, but even at the end when he really wasn't there he was still a better speaker than Trump ever was.

[–] Rapidcreek 35 points 4 months ago

I keep having to remind myself that Narcissism is a disease, but man I really don't get how anyone supports this guy

[–] toomanypancakes 33 points 4 months ago

That was some weird ass rambling, ngl

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom 28 points 4 months ago (3 children)

You know what I love about Trump? His humbleness.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The most humble person I know. A marine came up to him, huge guy, and he was crying, he said, he usually never cries, he said Trump was the most humble person in the world.

[–] TheBananaKing 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You left out the part where he called him sir.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Sir, sir, I just want you to know how humble you are, he says this to me with TEARS in his EYES, the biggest tears, the best tears, nobody cried before in the history of this country, cried the way he did, and it was a moment, a moving moment, and I said thank for your service, and he wheeled off in his wheelchair and his family was there and they were all proud, so proud, and well hey you know, he's got a loving family, I love all the families, all the military families, they all fought and died and protected us from communism, and its crazy these days we've got communists, people who want to do communist policies here, but we're gonna beat em, even though they lie, and the media lies...

Et Cetera.

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

Well done. I hate it.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe 8 points 4 months ago

Hey fellas, is it weird to ramble while trying to prove that you don't ramble? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago

What is this ugly ass rambling weirdo saying now?

[–] billiam0202 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

🎶Lord, I was bored of Rambin' Don...🎶

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

🎶He's destroyin' my livin' with tariffs on all brands🎶

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

“They will say he’s rambling. I don’t ramble. I’m a really smart guy,” he said.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago
[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Interesting that he just said she looked like one of the most beautiful women in the world not too long ago when discussing that cover, and even compared her to his wife lol. So is he now saying he's the most beautiful woman in the world?

[–] Sanctus 11 points 4 months ago

Bro I look like I haven't ever slept and I look less tired than you do

[–] shyguyblue 11 points 4 months ago

And don't call me Shirley...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Alright Ramblers, let's get ramblin

[–] jeffw 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Lord, I was born a rambling Trump

Edit: @[email protected] had a much better one

[–] aseriesoftubes 11 points 4 months ago

This time he suggested both that Time had unsuccessfully tried to photograph Harris, and that the magazine had no pictures to use of her. “Time magazine doesn’t have a picture of her,” he said. “They have this unbelievable artist drawing her. And I said, ‘Is that Sophia Loren? Who might that be? Is that Elizabeth Taylor? Oh, they must be celebrating the great life and times of the magnificently beautiful Sophia Loren.’“

My god, his cultural touchpoints are so fucking OLD.

[–] poprocks 8 points 4 months ago
