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!

Heard this one before. How long before we hear about his extramarital affairs and the abortion he paid for. It's always projection with these assholes.

EDIT: My bad, this guy just paid for his future wife's abortion. Rules for thee and not for me. Slightly different hypocrisy for this guy.

[–] Erasmus@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

Do a background search on this asshole. He is one more hypocrite.

Him and his wife already had an abortion - that’s fine IMO but fuck him for telling everyone else how to manage their reproductive rights.

He’s a crook too. Shocker right? A fishy Republican? All the news sites here in NC have been doing reports on his business practices over the last several years - prior to him getting in government and apparently paying Federal income taxes wasn’t part of his MO.

Of course he has played it up like ‘poor me I couldn’t afford it’ and blamed all his losses on NAFTA. The guy is a real piece of work. He makes no mistakes it’s all someone else’s fault.

somebody should give that guy ass-cancer and tell him he can't get it removed because he couldn't keep his pants up.

Anyone know where to get your hands on a uranium butt plug?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

not that would be radioactive enough to do the, uh, job, no.

(you can buy some depleted uraninum in small cubes and such for people trying to collect a periodic table of the elements, etc. Or you can just buy the ore on amazon...)

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Cubes? Yikes.

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Testicular cancer would be a better comparison.

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 65 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Remember kids, if it's a legitimate rape the body has ways of shutting the whole thing down. (For the younger folks here, a republican actually said that)

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

At least he’s no longer with us. Praise Jeebus.

[–] skeezix@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Pra ba jeeba

This wingnut was just talking about how great the Jim Crowe era was for black folks. N. Carolina racists love this guy.

[–] PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think that's a different person. Byron Donald's said the Jim Crow thing.

[–] fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

You are right. So many nutters that you need a scorecard to know who is who.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 23 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Every child, every fetus, every embryo is the result of some man getting his dick out of his pants. Women could parade around like Gustave Corbet's L'Origine Du Monde

(NSFW, obviously. Not sure if I can put the link without the image popping up?) and it wouldn't cause a damn thing unless some asshat with a penis like him went poking it around.

Every Abortion Begins With A Penis.

GOP governor candidate can go sit on a cactus.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

That’s rude. As a slutty woman I think even prudes should be allowed bodily autonomy as well.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Please don’t be from North Carol… fuck! 😡

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean ok. I'll take it. Just reinstate roe v. Wade.

[–] nul9o9@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Right? What's the point of his statement?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

An attempt to further associate abortion with the perceived immorality of sluttiness and to assert that all needed abortions are due to preventable choices on the part of the individual needing them. I wish it was true, but I live in reality.

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

In fairness, I can’t keep my kilt down.

Clayton there wants people to accept white pride?

Ok sure, not sure what I’m proud of though.

Increased skin cancer chance?
