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!

Silly bunny... He should have visited pedo sites instead. Then he would have been protected by the FBI and the DOJ.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 53 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This works well as a joke and as a statement of fact.

[–] alaphic@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

AKA: "It's funny cuz it's true!"

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 10 points 1 month ago

That's a concise way to put it. I think that'll catch on.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If he was diddling children, he'd have a cabinet position.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

From the very top down, it's a requirement.

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Something something, shoulda coulda woulda.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 56 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I can’t help but think all these closeted republicans would be much happier if they publicly admitted that they love sucking dick.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

These people have serious trauma. The environment they grew up in abhor lgbt and they have internalised that oppression.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Hey, hey, lady dick!

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There definitely wouldn’t be any abortions or any unwanted pregnancies. We just may be very well onto something here good people. Suckin’ 4 Tha Load!

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lol, I'd vote for a republican whose platform was sucking cock to prevent abortions.

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Progress in action. Maybe not my flavor but progress is progress.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Back to the pile!

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I think generally the world would be a better place if people all over the world would just come out and say they'd love to suck a dick.

Looking at the Muslim country's especially... So much latent homosexuality there.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Zero percent of the MAGA agenda is dependent on the anti-trans component.

If they just dropped it or never had it in the first place, this would be zero reason to drop out. Not that merit matters to these clowns, but what if this guy happened to be some sort of game-changing, MAGA expanding savant? Lol.

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I dunno, fascism always requires an already vulnerable mostly fictional bogeyman to easily attack. Trans folk are already one of the most murdered groups in society, small as a % of the population, and often not highly visible.

That makes it very easy for republicans to demonize trans people with fewer of their audience having personal experience that contradicts the fictional account presented.

It also helps them police gender in a way that bolsters their anti-women agenda.

I think the anti-trans component is very useful for their fascist project.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The literal Nazis started with trans people, too. (It's unclear why Niemöller failed to mention them in his poem, but it's true.)

[–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Zeroth they came for the people I hated and I said nothing because fuck them"

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It's very possible (even likely) that he was transphobic, but it's also possible he didn't know about them or that he didn't consider them a significant enough demographic to mention.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Here's the thing... The leftdoesn't give a fuck what your read. No one cares. It's the fucking MAGA fascists that care. So pointing out that you're into trans porn only serves to cause your own party to turn on you. You were exposed by the left but driven out by the right.

[–] Pollo_Jack@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

There are AIs to quickly analyze users post history. Those critical of leftists predominately post in cuckold communities too.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

Funny thing is, if he was a dem it wouldn’t fuckin matter. This is a case of a leopard eating its own face.

[–] pootzapie@lemy.lol 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

There’s so many though, which ones (so we can all avoid them)??

/I did read the article, just a joke

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

It would be funny if it was Lemmynsfw.

[–] Sideshow_B00b@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

Not passing judgment on his preferences or proclivities but I’m very happy with the outcome!

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

So he was a secret leftist? /s

[–] chiocciola@lemmy.cafe 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’m sure he hated those trans people as much he Hated himself for wanking to it

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He definitely cried for half hour after every wank sesh.

[–] chiocciola@lemmy.cafe 4 points 1 month ago

You know he’s the premature kinda guy who lasts 30 seconds. That’s a really terrible ROI.

[–] Sideshow_B00b@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Once you sob-wank you never go back

I’m sure he has like-minded enthusiasts in MAGAsphere. Reach-around sob-wanks for all!

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

He was hard righty. Probably just a leftist for a change of pace every once in a while.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Good. Everyone who gets caught is one less person trump can blackmail to do his bidding for him.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah he does.
