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!

Summary

As election day nears, Donald Trump’s rhetoric has become increasingly unhinged, highlighted by a rally in Milwaukee where he simulated performing a lewd act on a malfunctioning microphone and threatened backstage staff over technical issues.

His actions, including racially insensitive remarks and fantasies of revenge against opponents like Liz Cheney, have left many stunned by both their content and political imprudence. Social media reactions ranged from shock to criticism of his behavior, with many comments too graphic to share.

Tom Nichols of The Atlantic remarked that Trump’s supporters avoid news sources outside their bubble to maintain plausible deniability about his mental instability, claiming they support him for policy reasons while ignoring his erratic conduct.

Objectivity Incarnate when they try to raise a mic, every time (this is the normal way for them)

I like how even the tiny clip isn't enough deception, so you also sped the clip up.

You just proved my point. Know that every moment you spend talking about stupid nothings like this, is time you're not spending talking about his ACTUAL misdeeds.

E: and they respond with the same doctored clip, lol. Braindead.

Never forget that part of the reason he won is because people like you focused on stupid bullshit like this instead of real things.

Hope you learn from this.

[–] fern@lemmy.autism.place 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No it's because you voted for trump.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I didn't, and neither did my state.

Take responsibility for the distraction rhetoric you spread. You could have been talking about something meaningful instead of fantasizing about Donald Trump sucking dick.

But the latter is what you decided to do. For shame.

Buddy I voted against and my state was blue too. You dont seem to understand that everything has been said many times (especially on this platform), and it did nothing. Me sharing a gif that is seen by 500 people didn't do anything. But sure, make up shit and attack others to feel better.

The worst part is that he was specifically referring to a blowjob and you can't handle that.

Your last political act before Donald Trump got elected was fantasizing about him sucking dick.

That's yours to live with, pervert. Forever. Enjoy.
