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!

Fucking Tony Hinchcliff. He's let the success of his show go this his head.

Exactly. But he hosts a podcast that has comedians do 1 minute bits and get rated but it's the format people like more than him.

This is where they draw the line? Holy shit.

And Nicky Jam continues to look more like Nicky Jackass:

Born in Lawrence, Massachusetts to a Dominican mother and a Puerto Rican father, his family moved to Puerto Rico when he was ten years old.

… on September 13, 2024, Nicky Jam endorsed Trump for president … Nicky Jam went on to delete his Instagram post endorsing Trump.

((source)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Jam])

He deleted it after Trump said Nikky jam "was hot" and didn't even realize he was a guy.

I absolutely wouldn't be surprised if he learnt his lesson now that Trump doesn't even care to know his supporters. He might even hopefully vote for Kamala.

It's also possible that some of Trump's endorsements are paid for (let's be honest, people like kid Rock and hulk Hogan need all the publicity they can get these days)

I would still say all of this is a problem and certifies him as a jackass tbh.

Deleting the post after he felt personally offended doesn’t magically absolve him of having made the endorsement in the first place. And if he was paid for it that’s even worse imo.

I dunno. If we consider changing your mind, I think it's ok. Michael Cohen as an example has almost definitely redeemed himself.

But yeah, you'd want to follow it up with an apology that you didn't realize how much of a tosser djt is

Puerto Rico only needs to feel insulted if some republican terrorist (or "republican" for short) compliments them.
