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!

I have smart children...I would always tell them, no drugs

Doesn't seem like Jr got the message.

"can I have a pony???". "No, drugs."

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 weeks ago

Some real Lionel Hutz "no, money down" vibes there.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago

I have smart children...I would always tell them, ~~n~~do drugs

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Trump would've benefitted from more drugs.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

if prescribed by a psychiatrist, certainly - but I hear NPD is ~~untreatable~~ difficult, but treatable.

his street coke aint working.

edit: correction.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

maybe some offline time with DMT and no mirrors would be a start.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I am not sure anything can kill that ego. :-/

I hear the French have a device that will take care of things right quick.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Did you ever watch Carnival Row? They had a 5 seater!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Please be mindful of the misinformation here. NPD is nuanced and difficult to treat, as with any personality disorder, but it is absolutely possible.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

important point taken. thank you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think Jr was the only one.

I was gonna say, he looks like he aged more this summer and fall than he did his entire presidency. And that's incredible, 4 years in a super stressful job should age you a bit.

What the hell is stressing him out so much that a few months he's gone grey and leathery?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 weeks ago

Pending sentences and the weight of inevitably.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What's super stressful about playing golf all the time?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I think they mean in the sun too much, as it can make your skin look "leathery"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

Assassination attempts will do that to a man that's afraid of stairs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

Well he did spend 50% of his time as President on the golf course.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Melina doesn't want to fuck him anymore as he is being fucked by someone else.

The Dept of Justice.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

When you're entire purpose in life is to make others miserable, I imagine it's difficult to remain content. At this point, I think other people are controlling him more than he's converting himself, too.

This guy is an angry meat puppet. Couldn't happen to a worse person.

Fentanyl-related offenses should receive the death penalty, but it's completely fine to just sell opioids to millions of people for decades and possibly cause a societal meltdown in the process because that's just being a smart businessman or something.

lol, like he raised his kids. Maybe the person asking meant to say “raped”?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Raped? Quite possibly. But raise? Not him, he paid others to do that for him. Trump wouldn't soil HIS hands by actually raising his children.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Abolish capital punishment. We're better than that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Can I continue to advocate for the vigilante killing of Musk and ilk? Because I am not better than that, its what my ancestors wouldve wanted actually my ancestors wouldve put him in a ditch for being stupid and English but thats besides the point.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Musk is from South Africa, but that's also besides the point.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Anglo sputh africans are still English, my family dont discriminate just eviscerate.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

Freud would have had a field day with that.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, if Eric Trump was my son I'd also try to change the subject.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Well that's what he thinks about them, then.
