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!

Rosie O’Donnell fired right back at Donald Trump after he threatened to revoke her U.S. citizenship in a post on Truth Social on Saturday morning.

The comedian and former talk show host, a longtime critic of the president, was — like Trump — born in New York to one American-born parent and one immigrant parent.

In a blistering response to his threat, she called him “King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan,” a reference to a much-hated, sadistic, authoritarian character from Game of Thrones.

He gave people permission to say and act on their most vile thoughts.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This prompted me to think "What is my most vile thought?"

And I guess it's sexual fetishes. But even with that, even though I'm doing horribly mean things to/with women, and putting them through absolute punishment, I'm still getting consent first.

That being said, why is it so hard to ask to find a woman who will let me tie them to my bed naked, put a ginger root in their mouth, and tell them if they drop it, I'll carve it into a dildo, shove in their ass, and spank them? Then to make sure that happens, I tickle their feet.

See? Totally vile, and evil, and sadistic......but they have a safeword and give consent first! I'm not a monster.

I've never even contemplated the existence of a ginger dildo until this moment.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Basically, when you spank someone the natural instinct is to tense up. By tensing up you make the spank less impactful and hurt less.

By putting the ginger root in her ass, it burns from inside. By tensing up, she makes it burn much more. By staying relaxed it burns less.

So it puts her in a situation where if she tenses, it burns. If she stays relaxed the spanks hurt much more.

It's called "figging".

Jesus Christ, username definitely checks out.

OK?

TIL that my kinks need…honing? Attenuation?

Maybe I’m just not trying hard enough.

I realized long ago that I’m really tame in bed, and I accepted it 🤣

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Careful, South Dakota can put you in prison for that now.

It's been a minute since I've been back there, so what did I miss?
