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!

Is this important journalism? No way. Is it funny as shit? I think so.

Here's where he bought those boots: https://donsfootwear.com/en/agusta

If he wants to get taller he can just pop a Viagra.

Are you implying his cock is so big it would prop him up or am I missing the joke?

I mean at this point its either wedged heels or he's a lizard because no normal person's feet just look like that. His toes are just so floppy, it's unnerving.

I can’t believe people care about dumb shit like someone’s height in fields where it doesn’t actually matter. That 5’1" little brown woman in office with her finger on the big red button is always going to be much more of an actual objective threat than some 6’11" massive chungus of a dude with no real charisma to speak of and without any actual political power.

Hell, just give the little brown woman a gun and pit her against Big Chungus on the street and see who comes out on top.

People who analyze each other’s body condition and size and prioritize it in their judgement of everything other people do are such worthless fucking knuckledraggers.

I despise Ron DeSantis and even I can see this is an obviously petty cheap shot. Why not complain about him trying to drive Disney out of Florida? Or his fascist book censoring? Or his anti-trans garbage?

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Because even though it shouldn't matter, it's subliminally important to Americans that our leaders be tall.

Not to mention the size 14s on a size 8 foot.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Also, this article claims little donnie is 6'3". Hm.

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

Me, still looking for who TF cares

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

DeSantis, clearly. Which is why it’s so funny

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

I get why this is news, but who the fuck cares? I wanna stand over him and look down into his beady little eyes and call him, "Little Man." But I'll never get to so why do I see this on Lemmy? I'll think about Ronnie when I'm taking a shit.

When I read things like this I have to think about Randy Newman's Short People. Ben Shapino also comes to mind...

Short people got no reason

Short people got no reason

Short people got no reason to liiiiive

They got little hands, little eyes

They walk around tellin' great big lies

They got little noses and tiny little teeth

They wear platform shoes on their nasty little feet

Putin does same. Is this guy US version of Putin?

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

But with less power, yeah

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So he could have bought a pair of custom boots that lift and look right
