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!

Dipshit Musk never advanced mentally and emotionally past the age of 17.

Daddy's emerald money can't buy maturity, so what good is it?

[–] Archer 25 points 3 weeks ago

Emerald slave money

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

17 is far too old. I'm not being facetious. His tweets regularly seem like something a pre-pubescent girl would post.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

“I am 12 and this is very deep” vibes for most of them.

Edit: Sorry that was confusing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

I'm 27 and that comment didn't make any sense to me. The oldening has officially begun

[–] aesthelete 4 points 3 weeks ago

Should've bought livejournal instead of Twitter.

[–] BillDaCatt 150 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

So instead of laughing and letting it go, Musk makes sure everyone knows he is a dipshit.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Imagine being the richest person in the world and still being this fragile.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago

He's a special little snowflake

[–] CharlesDarwin 4 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, this dipshit had to go and buy Xitter. That's how fragile he is.

[–] Marthirial 18 points 3 weeks ago

For a meme clown, Dipshit Musk should respect the Streisand effect a bit more.

[–] fluxion 7 points 3 weeks ago

And his puppet army going full steam to sooth Elon's bruised ego

[–] MrShankles 7 points 3 weeks ago

First I've heard of this. "Better to keep your mouth shut and seem stupid — rather than open it and remove all doubt". Elon really is a massive dipshit

[–] [email protected] 130 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

time to make it stick. from now on I shall reference Musk as Dipsh*** Musk.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 weeks ago

Elongated Dipshit

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago

Ol' Dipshit Muskrat.

[–] fluxion 4 points 3 weeks ago

I'd been using that name already actually

[–] Rapidcreek 105 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Musk knows that his name and Dipshit are linked forever, and we are all here for it.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

testing.... ddg for 'dipshit':

while the malformed moron didn't make the top result, he did make the middle of the first page already, and was the top result that was not a dictionary or wiki type of site.

[–] Zer0_F0x 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's at the bottom of Google's first page too

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

So are all actual search results though

[–] [email protected] 79 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

walz said musk looked like a skipping dipshit, not that he was one.

"...jumping around, skipping like a dipshit"

"elon is a dipshit"
"elon looked like a dipshit"

while both are true, they mean two different things.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. He looks like one until he opens his mouth and then proves it... regularly

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

Well if it is skipping like a dipshit, talks like a dipshit, looks like a dipshit....

[–] Kbobabob 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, they are different. One implies and the other states a fact.

[–] TallonMetroid 71 points 3 weeks ago

Aw, snowflake got triggered.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 weeks ago

these people are all a galaxy wide and a half micron deep. just brush them lightly and they bleed profusely.

Elongated Dipshit got his fee fees hurt

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 weeks ago

Massive dipshit indeed.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 weeks ago

That's a dipshit move.

[–] Tylerdurdon 29 points 3 weeks ago

If the shit fits...

[–] beansbeansbeans 23 points 3 weeks ago

I have nothing to say other than Elon is a dipshit. Pass it on.

[–] iAvicenna 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

the first domestic action after the elections, trial Elon

[–] riodoro1 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, democrats are very hard on rich people. We all know that.

[–] iAvicenna 2 points 3 weeks ago

eh...well at least he will shut up for a couple months hopefully (probably after trying to incite a riot and calling elections rigged for a couple weeks)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

Skippity Toilet.

[–] CharlesDarwin 9 points 3 weeks ago

It's been more than a day now and thinking about Walz deliver that line about Elon the dumbass still makes me laugh. And I still cannot unsee the Red Foreman comparison....hahahaha.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

"You can't use insults against us, only we can!" basically. I'd complain about this normalizing a new low if Trump wasn't sinking way past insurrection this time around.
