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!

So he toured the Parthenon during 4th of July weekend, 24 hours AFTER people were caught in the flood.

I believe ted cruz has the most punchable face in politics. I don't even think you'd hurt your hand. It just looks soft and squishy.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 18 hours ago

Ajit Pai when he was around.

[–] druidjaidan@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

Woah woah woah. His punchability doesn't compare to the absolutely smashable Mitch McConnell

[–] Localhorst86@feddit.org 7 points 9 hours ago

the absolutely smashable Mitch McConnell

I just wanted to quote you out of context.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I'd go with Marjorie The Gathering myself. Yeah yeah you're not supposed to hit a woman, but I'm not convinced she's even human let alone a woman.

I think that bad built bleach bond basic bitch is actually the victim, she's the poster child for FAS. no eye brow ridge, soft features, tapioca brains... that level of crazy isn't typical.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The best description of her I've read is that she looks like a serial killer who is wearing the face of one of her victims as a mask.

I imagine it would feel a bit like punching a pile of dried leaves.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

I'd be afraid of him retracting his head back into his shell and hitting that instead.

[–] Gowron_Howard@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Mike Johnson’s comes to mind

You've never seen christopher pyne

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Pyne’s voice enhances punchability by a factor of at least 10. Embodiment of the word snivelling.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

He's that little shit that hangs with the bullies and thinks he's a big man as long as they have enough distraction to not turn on him.

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Kind of how Australia has been know to chase big bro USA into a fight, then stand behind him, pointing its finger and antagonising the other side from behind the big bro shield?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Please, we're such tiny shits we're not even noticed

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Until someone knocks out big bro. Or he gets annoyed and tells you to rack off. or someone retaliates while he’s not around…
