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!

Has someone accused him of being a germophobe? Was that ever in question? We already knew we swims in sewage and picks up roadkill for dinner.

Don't shit on roadkill as an easy protein and have eaten it many times when I've hit the animal myself or witnessed it get hit. Tastes fine. The vehicle truck side is usually inedible due to the heavy bruising.

With all that being said, I've never staged a dead animal to look a certain way ever.

There's a massive difference between taking the deer you hit with your truck and whatever the fuck RFK was doing with bear cubs in Central Park

He's trying to encourage disbelief in germ theory. He'd like to encourage a return to cornflakes and Graham crackers to rebalance the humors.

Sigh... We don't need your wild party stories from the 70s... Were already sifting through the mess of other officials at other problomatic parties... Oh, you did coke off a toilet seat last week?

Thats explains a lot and not the flex you think it is anymore...

Thank god for the comic relief dipshit.

After all this bullshit ends, I really hope that we get a few decades of peace and prosperity. This is so very tiresome.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I'm not sure nukes end with peace and prosperity.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Toilet seats are pretty clean, though. Compared to door knobs or light switches. Butts are gross, sure, but also pretty regularly cleaned. And I'm sure these toilet seats didn't have urine or feces visibly all over them...the dude is depraved but even the most base of party girls like RFK have a limit.

Whatever you say, Gravel Gullet.

Nothing to see here from the guy going "bone hunting" with Epstein and Maxwell. Perfect normal person.
