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!

It pleases me to know that Kamala Harris lives rent-free in his head.

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 47 points 2 months ago

He suffers from Kamala derangement syndrome

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I love this thought, but something has always bothered me about the phrase "living rent free in x head"

I can't even explain why I just hate it

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 49 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So the phase "living rent free in my head" is living rent free in your head.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm not here to tell you you're wrong, but go fuck yourself, friend.

edit: In my defense, I only really get upset about it when I see it, other than that the phrase is chillin somewhere.

You still may be right tho

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I know just what you mean, but also it sounds like poetry compared to "Ohio skibidi rizz."

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Say what now? What is that supposed to mean?

[–] Bear_pile@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Rizz = charisma Ohio = bad Ohio skibbiddy rizz = you look like a fool and don't even realize how foolish you are

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks, I'd never heard that before. Kids these days.

Straight bussin' frfr

That phrase doesn't bother me, but I can understand the sentiment. People tend to use the same "clever" phrases over and over, and when there is a phrase you don't particularly like, you end up hating it after the 100th time.

In my case, it's "looking at you, X" where X is not a person. E.g. "I'm looking at you, Unity framework!"

Or whenever there is a post about a wholesome prank, someone will always comment "See? This is a good prank. Nobody got hurt, everyone laughs." At this point, I'm inclined to think that people deliberately do it as a version of "First post!!"

Love the ad on the rsbn clip, says alot about his followers I guess

[–] AnarchoSnowPlow@midwest.social 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ha! That's wild. You can literally just buy it at the farm store in town here.

I'm sure it's far cheaper there too.

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 18 points 2 months ago

You could, but then the money goes to some business instead of a grifter. Don't you love America?! /s

[–] wreel@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago

We've got you covered

[–] localme@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That’s not a real ad right?? That’s gotta be KHQ team having some Idiocracy-style fun with their tweet… right??

[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] localme@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

Well I’ll be damned. I can’t even with these people lol

And thanks, huge props for providing the receipts so quickly!

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is he...standing in front of giant toilet paper rolls?

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Gotta be prepared for all the shit that’s about to spew out his mouth.

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Also to clean him up when his diaper gets full.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 54 points 2 months ago

Quote from the article applied at the relevant point of the prayer.

The Narcissist's Prayer

That didn't happen. <--- "The people that you see leaving? Because nobody ever leaves,"-Trump

And if it did, it wasn't that bad. <--- "people were actually lining up in the back for photos since he couldn’t pose for pictures earlier."-Trump

And if it was, that's not a big deal. <--- "And when they do, I finish up quick." -Trump

And if it is, that's not my fault. <--- Trump then suggested that his staffers were to blame for the apparent departures

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

[–] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"Theyre just so excited they can't sit still. These people they have to get up and run around. We have the fastest runners. They get up and run and sometimes they leave but they come back they always come back. I met one guy he left and he came back he said "they're not doing it like you over there. They are not good." And I said I know."

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I had to Google this to make sure it wasn't real.

So good job!

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So is it real? I hate that I have to ask this.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago
[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Good grief, she said that weeks ago! That little comment permanently damaged his ego on a profound level, didn't it.

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 17 points 2 months ago

His crowd (cult) is a measure of his self worth. He surrounds himself with people that will shower him with praise, and attacks anyone that doesn't feed his ego. If he hadn't started a life of crime so early, he probably would have loved setting up a compound and just living out his days with a cult to control and have them heap praise on him every second of every day.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 37 points 2 months ago

"They're not leaving. They're just heading to my next rally and making sure they get good seats."

Probably what this clown's narcissism is feeding his brain.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)
[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

For me, sad requires sympathy. He’s pathetic.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 7 points 2 months ago

That implies pity, which is a form of empathy.

[–] thebigslime@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Alexa, play "Despacito".

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 26 points 2 months ago

The audience is going to get a pack of smokes/some milk. Just like my Dad was going to do, 29 years ago.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

Person clearly in denial keeps claiming he's totally not in denial

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 16 points 2 months ago

Trump and his alternate facts.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 months ago

They're going to get a beer and a hotdog but they'll be right back.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

This is stupid and petty, but it is very satisfying to see he's still stuck on this nearly 3 weeks after the debate.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

They're not leaving. His sharpie has just run out of ink in the later photos.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

(read in Trump's voice)

Their going to take a poo they'll be right back... Ya right back when America was great again... When women knew their place and tough white Christian men wouldn't be canceled for burning a cross on an ethnic persons lawn... Kamabla wants to eat your babies as they come out of the womb... Oh yes it's true...

[–] Localhorst86@feddit.org 8 points 2 months ago

Too coherent. It needs more rambling off in random directions, maybe think about electrocuting a sinking shark or smth

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

True they could be changing their trump brand diapers.

Schrodinger's voter?

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

They're just going out for smokes, they'll brb

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

They’re not leaving, they’re just checking out the wet paint exhibit next door. They’ll be right back as soon as it dries!
