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!

Seems to be missing from the thread (only last name mentioned at time of post):

Mr Tiny Dick is Fabián Basabe. I heard he kisses men. Ok, that last part isn't true. But I hope it's an intrusive thought.

I saw something on Facebook that I wish I could find. It was a tweet by a guy that said bisexuality was only when you had sex with both genders, it couldn't be attraction to both genders because then everybody would be bisexual.

Nobody wanted to tell him.

I did hear he kisses men. And that's true. Technically, I heard it from you, but I still truly heard it. Besides, if your name is Tiny Dick Fabián, why wouldn't you?

I'm not saying it's wrong if Fabián Basabe (R), (allegedly better known as the 'funnel-cake', and 'sea-men fairy' to his alleged, countless, male romantic partners) likes to save dinner till after sex. That's between him and the many men in his life to decide.

And who are we to judge if he prefers body-building men who can carry him to bed and who can appreciate his wispy pillow-talk.

I'm happy he gets to have these things in his life

If someone was accused of sexism would you say "heard he kisses women". Like this whole thing of joking about homophobic people being gay, at what point is it a little homophobic itself. Like all the cartoons depicting Trump as doing "stuff" with Putin

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 7 months ago

You're right. It could be read as a touch homophobic. But I only say it because I know he'd dislike it, not because I think there's anything wrong with kissing men or sucking dick or eating ass. I make jokes about me sucking dick to disparage conservatives and I don't even suck dick. Still, maybe I'll retire that line of attack.
