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!

So we’re back in elementary school during recess, in the 1980s.

“You’re retarded!” Totally a thing, back then, at that age.

This guy is supposed to be an adult. In theory anyway.

He might even break out “gaylord” if he hits the right timespan.

Individually, we are weak, like a single twig! But as a bundle we form a mighty f*ggot!

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

If Buttigieg was on the ticket.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Watch for "buttmeister". Then you know it's real

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Oh is there a lot of stuff he needs to store away? Those things are awesome, honestly.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 month ago

He brags that he's not.

When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Wait until he starts using the F word from the 90s.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Some adults become like children when senility kicks in.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 2 points 4 weeks ago

This is true. He is already in diapers.

[–] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 59 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Unfortunately supporters are probably thrilled he called Harris a retard. I know my dad will be once he hears about this.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I’m just surprised he used that word before the n word.

[–] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

They absolutely are. "He tells it like it is!" But they don't like when people call him a mentally unfit fat rapist racist. But they love when he makes fun of physically handicapped people too.

Tbh I’m surprised he hasn’t gone for the hard “r” yet. That one newsmax pundit did it on air, and I’m pretty sure it was an intentional “mistake” considering how he recovered from the “slip”

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Dems need to start saying he has some medical conditions, like AIDS, cancer, crabs, or gonorrhea. He won't release his medical records to prove otherwise.

[–] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Brain worms.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

It's been long suspected that he has syphilis.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 month ago

Israel equals Jewish and Jew means Israel. I talk about Israel a lot. That means all Jews should like me. What do you mean saying I'm antisemitic?

Every accusation is a confession.
