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!

This feels like the third time I’ve posted the same article here and it’s still funny

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

It’s not literally the same article. But yes, my third time posting a very similar story

Dude is old I won't begrudge an old man a nap...anyhoo fuck that guy

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 67 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'll begrudge it. He makes a point of calling Biden, "Sleepy Joe," and then he can't stay awake in court? Damn right, I'll begrudge it.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 28 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's insane how it's literally ALL projection. Even fucking "Sleepy Joe" was projection.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Every. Single. Word.

[–] Bipta@kbin.social 4 points 6 months ago

I do wish he'd stay awake as it's the closest he's ever likely to be to seeing justice served.

Old Donald Slump

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Dopey, sleepy, sleazy, grumpy, hes like more than half of the seven dwarves right there. Let stormy tell you about one more way he's small.

[–] melodious_thunk@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget my favorite--gropey.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 13 points 6 months ago

Junior ain't around to coke him up.

Asleep in chief

[–] urist@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fuck that orange monster.

With that out of the way, are reporters going to start telling us every time he farts in court too?

Old man with no respect for the judicial system falls asleep in court. Tune in at 11pm for more breaking news!

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It’s mainly funny because he used “Sleepy Joe” as an insult so much. Now he can’t stay awake in the middle of the day

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago

It doesn't matter to his MAGoos.

They will tell you that Hollywood stars shouldn't be involved in politics because they're rich and has no experience in government, then say they love Trump because he's rich and never worked in government.

[–] urist@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I suppose it might be humorous if you expect him to follow some sort of logical consistency with his insults, sure.

At the least it counters the Sleepy Joe rhetoric aimed at swing voters. It won't convince the true believers (because they don't believe in anything but destroying the left) but it might slightly change the swing voters' impression of Biden (and of Trump) if this line of attack is neutralised.
