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!

Maybe he’s trying to get as many rounds of golf in as possible before his ~~term~~ prison time starts.

I want to believe

[–] riodoro1 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Im sure he’s going straight to prison after the great fascist defeat of 2024.

Im sure.

They're worried he plays golf too much? The bastard played for nearly a quarter of his time as president, and they didn't care then 🤷‍♂️

[–] EmpathicVagrant 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was closer to half?

[–] SkyezOpen 9 points 2 months ago

Well, he complained about Obama playing golf too much, and he played more golf in 4 years than Obama did in 8...

So the answer is "way too fucking much, even by his own standards."

Lol, this picture of Trump reminds me of a common good luck bringing Maneki-neko cat.

[–] NegativeInf 23 points 2 months ago

I can see it.

It’s the little fat man dance he does where he looks like he’s jerking off two cocks.

Raise the golf club in defiance

Anyone checking on JD Vance's wife and family?

Usha Vance has been looking beaten down from the constant racist attacks from her own party. And I haven't heard anything about his kids after he shitted on them on the news for asking about Pokemon.

Hopefully they're living their best lives at home while he's out traveling the country being awkward at doughnut shops.

Sounds like Ol’ Sleepy Joe got to him. Get that fake handicap low enough Donnie, Joe’s comin’ for ya!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

I guess everything’s a joke if it makes conservatives look like idiots, but it’s serious if it doesn’t. And that evaluation is usually done after the thing in question is said

MAGA - Make America Golf Again

[–] Treczoks 5 points 2 months ago

I think they understood that comment precisely as it was meant: Derogatory.

[–] fox2263 3 points 2 months ago

Why stop the habit of a lifetime.
