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!

Let me add that is the weirdest place to put an em dash in a headline I've ever seen.

This isn't a case about mocking a former president, it's about trying to trademark mocking a former president, which can then be used to sue other people who use the phrase. You don't need a trademark to print shirts with disparaging words against Trump, you need it to stop other people from doing it. The Biden administration isn't protecting Trump with this suit.

Are we going to be sued every time we refer to his small penis as small?

[–] athos77@kbin.social 41 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If it's factual, it's not defamation.

Alternatively, I understand that it really MASSIVELY bothers him if you refer to his funny tiny microscopic hands.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Those hands?

[–] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Not a defamation suit. This is about not being able to trademark "trump too small".

[–] voidavoid@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Better switch to micro to be safe.

A Supreme Court case over.. cleans glasses Trump's penis size..? We are living in a South Park episode. Good to see our tax dollars hard at work. As usual.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

His dick is as small as his political Integrity

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So it’s just a smooth Ken-lump.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you think he likes being grabbed by his Ken-innie. Kinnie? Mini Kinnie?

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FUPA? Kinda like his neck vulva.

I'm grossing myself out here.

neck vulva

I'm officially bringing back "I just threw up in my mouth a little" for this

It's "Kenough"?

[–] Davel23@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

I don't know about that, several people have claimed that, while small, he does actually have a penis. Political integrity? Eh... not so much.

[–] finthechat@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This reminds me of when the prosecutors questioned Epstein about his egg-shaped penis on the record

[–] Unexpected_Catnip@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] finthechat@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ugh, now I have "egg shaped penis" in my Google search history. But that's ok. I'll take one for the team.

[–] CherenkovBlue@iusearchlinux.fyi 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a lot of repetition of Epstein's name and "egg-shaped penis". Like, a lot.

You're welcome.

Epstein == egg peen. 💡

[–] PK2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The team thanks you! Best laugh I've had at this hour in years.

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

That will be an interesting Discovery

[–] cricket97@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

body shaming is ok as long as it's someone you don't like

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well it also has to be "short man," "small penis," "bald man," or "fat man." There are limited acceptible options.

[–] Maco1969@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The size of his manhood isn't about shaming him it's about proving the fact that he is a liar and a criminal.

[–] cricket97@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

it would be cool if you could just be honest. "Yes we are shaming him and we don't care" instead of pretending like you are exposing some important truth. makes you a coward

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Pffft been proven. Don't need to make the small-dicked out there feel bad for a post trump'll never see though. Seems "ineffective."

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

“twig and/or berries”

🤣

[–] Wilibus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Wow, that first amendment kinda sucks when people are talking about your tiny dick.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

I can put it in a weirder place
