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!

My favorite part of the video is that Trump keeps trying to do this stupid fucking power move where he gives a firm handshake and refuses to let go. Newsom was ready for it and Trump had to forcibly pull his hand away.

Edit: Sorry for not being clear. There is a link to a tweet in the article that has the video.

Haha.

Immediately reminded me of a photo of Eric Schmidt (former Google scumbag CEO who said that if you had nothing to hide, you had no privacy concerns) and Steve Jobs. They were photographed at a coffee shop and Schmidt was analyzed to be in the weaker position by body language.

But leaning forward in heals (Newsome is in sneakers) is what a strongman does, go trump! /s

I'd love to see him try this stupid lean thing, lose balance, and just face plant.

Bonus if it kills him.

Just looks like a good view y'know.

The link plays of FreeTube, if one is interested. Starts at 1:26 - LoL, worth it.

i read the article and there is no transcript or summary of their conversation.

It's generous to call that an article. Just a bunch of "some folks said on X" quotes. Doesn't really belong in this community IMHO
