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!

A clip from 1992 isn't new. If you've got new details, spill 'em. Right now he's just saying what everyone else had been saying for years.

He's shining a spotlight on what MAGAts have ignored.

[–] Ordinary_Person@lemmy.ca 10 points 21 hours ago

Including himself, when he hitched his wagon to Trump.

It's worse than that, many saw this and just explained it away, didn't care or think it was still worth it because he'll save America.

They don't care. If anything this will increase his popularity with them.

If the multitude of creepy and incestuous behavior towards his own daughter isnt putting them off, I dont know how assaulting underage girls would possibly do it

Or straight up denied. "He was on the plane but he never went to the island"

I can't imagine wearing a hat saying anyone was right about anything. That is partially because these hats are all hideous, unfashionable garbage, but mostly because no person is ever right about everything.

Doesn't seem to be part of the definitions on the first page, but I've also always pronounced it "maggot" because they are willing to eat literal shit from their orange false king as long as they are convinced the libs are eating day-older shit

Anyone who’s cleaned up a yard with dogs knows to go for the oldest shit possible.
