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!

Donald Trump, attempting to make inroads with women who are deeply concerned about how he’ll further decimate reproductive rights in a second term, claimed this week that he is their “protector” and that on his watch, they “will no longer be thinking about abortion anymore.” Which somehow managed to be creepy, infantilizing, and a uniquely stupid take on abortion. A real trifecta!

"If you vote for me, all of your wildest dreams will come true."

Trump's platform is basically Pedro's from Napoleon Dynamite.

Although, in this version Pedro had been found guilty of sexual assault, and accused of rape and being a pedophile, along with being a habitual cheater and seeing women as nothing more than pleasure objects.

Clarify… the judge said he was convicted of rape.

Liable.. it was civil court.

And worst of all: Vance will do the disco stint

Damn, he's a real piece of shit, isn't he?

That’s because they’ll be fleeing to Canada.

You and me both, friend.

Well then I guess I'll be waiting for you on the other side of the border..

(Edit: Because I jumped ship shortly after Nov 2016 happened.)

Of course they won't. Because it will simply be outlawed. No need to worry about losing access to healthcare you aren't allowed to have.

He is the Anti-Christ

[–] spicylemon 7 points 1 month ago

Lol. I’m excited to watch him cry again in November.

[–] Nuke_the_whales 6 points 1 month ago

Big strong alpha protector. This isn't about women. This is yet again a way for him to gain more support from his meathead, Joe Rogan listening, knuckle daggers who want women in their place. Poor poor, helpless women need strong man to protect them and Trump is that alpha? Gimme a break.

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

He plans on impregnating every last one of them personally, doesn’t he?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Prima nocta?

[–] vegeta 5 points 1 month ago

That’s because he never tried to grab’em by the head
