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!

Robinson, the controversial candidate with former President Donald Trump's backing

Robinson accused Martin Luther King, Jr. of being a "communist," called pop star Beyoncé a "devil worshipper" said he missed the days when women could not vote, quoted Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and referred to gay people as maggots.

I wish I was still shocked and surprised by this type of reveal.

He ate all those pets in Ohio

Skibidi gop-dee

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

That would actually be a good thing, though.

[–] chakan2@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My vote he either was a drag queen, or he's into drag queens. You can murder pets, rape women, fuck around with dead animal carcasses, shoot up schools, and/or be a felon and be OK with the R's...Trans people though...they're right out.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Um, he has already boasted to be into transgender porn.

The more self-righteously accusatory these right wing fucks are the more embarrassingly abhorrent their past behavior has been.

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Past. Or more likely, present.

The premise of an impending 'damning news story' about *Mark Robinson* is insane because he's already openly a Holocaust denier," wrote Jezebel columnist Kylie Cheung. "So you really wonder what the straw that broke the camel's back is going to be."

I mean yeah, that’s a valid question.

Rumor mill says some adult internet activity, but it would have to be really bad. Maybe he was featured in porn? I kind of hope that's it, because anything else I can think of would involve some who could be described as the "victim."

Edit: So he went on porn sites, admitted to some embarrassing fetishes, and called himself a "black Nazi."

[–] superkret@feddit.org 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Video of him getting fucked in the ass would probably do it.
Being a literal old-school Hitler-quoting Nazi wasn't enough so far.

[–] ganksy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yup that would do it. My bet is on gay porn or maybe even some farm porn.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gay, Nazi, BDSM, interracial, slave porn?

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

“And I’d do it again.” Robinson. Probably.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He must have been hanging out with that Jessie James guy.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

What about Meowth?

[–] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

My money's on the classic “dead girl or live boy.”

Well that was a wild fucking ride…holy hell what did I just read

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

The required background for a Republican party candidate today.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

His bad faith response was someone framed him. Cant he just agree to consent the disclosure for the ip address associated and clear it up lickety split lol?

Like if he's still cagey about it at that point, than everyone agrees it was him 💅

[–] riskable@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

Hmm... This dude is so nasty he probably sucks his own shit through a straw every day in order to maintain the high degree of excrement that he regularly and publicly vomits from his mouth. What could make this guy so ashamed that he's going to drop out of the race? What would upset his base that much that it would amount to a serious betrayal of their ideals?

Donating to a liberal cause?

Housing poor people/illegal immigrants?

He went to some socialist country for healthcare?

He's secretly trans and got an abortion before transitioning?

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

Bros a porn star. Calling it now.
