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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

He just talks like that because he finds her attractive. Even in the most mundane comments, I sense his pervy character seeping through the veneer.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I suspect it's because he made a correct prediction and wanted to brag about it

Joe Crowley, she ran against him and I said, “You know, Joe, you’re gonna lose this thing unless you go out and campaign.” I watched her campaigning a little bit. I happened to turn on television, I saw her campaign. It was almost like by accident. And I said, “You’re going to have to run a little.” “Oh, well, no, she’s a young girl,” he said. She’s a young girl. She’ll be-, I’ve taken on many of them.” And he ended up losing, pretty easily actually

ever get weirded out when a pathological trash-talker says something that isn't a playground insult? like, tf is his angle here?

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 32 points 1 year ago

He probably thinks she doesn't stand a chance OR he thinks it's cute that someone thinks they are going to run for President.

[–] oyo@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He thinks she would be an easy opponent and thinks he's playing chess by giving her a boost. You know, like Hillary did with Trump.

"All I have to do is dance on stage saying "Commie Cortez, Commie Cortez" and every single news outlet will back me up as well! Then I can turn to my voters and cry about the liberal media being unfair to me. Easy."

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

Or like Trump did with Bernie.

[–] nuggie_ss@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

He's treating her like a child.

Trump thinks he's a mob boss that gets to dictate other people's worth.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's totally going to get her killed.

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

I am pretty sure they want AOC vs Erika Kirk.

[–] SarcasticMan@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I am going to guess that by "a little something," he means those heavy naturals.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Well, he's had a little stroke so I guess he does too.

Will he try to human traffic her to another country?
