Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

I've seen that comment in other threads.
Keep making it.
I'll chip in a few bucks for the electricity and cables, maybe we can boost him for a few minutes. Worst that could happen is we end up with some roasted turtle.
That's not nice! To pigs.
I'd rather hear a literal pig's arse than listen to Trump at this point.
That pig has a Trump.
Bro, not my Mr Rogers!
I believe it's an actual clip from his show. Something about counting.
It's the "Where is Thumpkin" song. It's to the tune of Frère Jacques, and you go through each finger holding them up and calling out "Where is ? (x2) Here I am. (Reveal x2) How are you today, sir? Very well, I thank you. Run away. (x2)". The finger names, in order, are Thumpkin, Pointer, Tall Man, Ring Man, and Pinky
Oh, good. I was thinking this was some generated bullshit.
Maybe it's tonight that it happens....
"How dare they tell the truth about the election results?"
Ooh, you know who else I bet is steaming mad? Elon Musk, who just dropped shitloads of money on a bunch of candidates who lost.
It's a shit load of money but the dude was a trillionaire a few weeks ago. $500 million for him is not even equivalent to a night at the bar for an average person. That's how bad income inequality has gotten.
Still, I hope it disillusions him and makes him think it's not worth spending in 2028.
Especially because a lot of his loser candidates just lost against significantly less-funded competition.
it turns out money only goes so far :)
The bell tolls for evil. Your time is up, evil man.
Cry more, orange loser.
