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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

A horde of trailer-park visigoths can sack the Capitol and Republicans say "what's the big deal?" But let one guy show up in casual clothes and they lose their goddamn minds.

I get that this guy rolls how he wants to roll but I just wish someone would buy him clothes that fit. They can be cool clothes, shorts and whatever, put on a hoodie, that's all rad but just make it fit

he has such a strange body though he'd probably need to get something tailored, which kinda defeats the point of his style to relate average Americans.

Yup. I have 50ish size shoulders for suit jackets/shirts. I'm average height. I have to buy XL everything, trim fit because I'm on the lean end for a wide body guy. Nearly everything that isn't more expensive tailored size stuff hangs off of my body like I lost weight after I bought it. I've gained a decent amount of weight and lost it a few times, and my fucking close fit better when I let myself go...

Fetterman doesn't have anywhere near normal body dimensions. I'm sure finding clothes that fit decent is a struggle. Big shoulder long torso ends up with a lot of this kind of looking clothes.

I suspect he has the same issue I do. Too big for normal stores. Not big enough for big and tall. Apparently people who have 42” waists only have 30” inseams and if you have 54 shoulders you must have a 6xl belly and tyrannosaurus arms
