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!

Why is he allowed to be in government again?

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

Fascism requires bootlickers. If you lick boots, you can’t be afraid of no germs.

The onion can't compete with this

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

They are having a hard time finding a implausible story.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 points 3 hours ago

Stray pubes just add to the flavour.

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I used the same mindset when taking the vaccine.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Not the fucking flex he thinks it is.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

And by used to, he meant this morning.

[–] madde@feddit.org 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Every day I'm grateful not to live in the dumpster fire that is the USA...

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 minutes ago* (last edited 6 minutes ago)

I wish I didn't have to share a border with a dumpster fire.

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 20 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Actual question: isn't he admitting to a crime?

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

It's cute that you think that still matters.

[–] OrangeScentedFish@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

When you're a sentient accumulation of germs and parasites, I'm sure a few more don't scare you

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

Spoiler for the end of the game

spoilerThis thing becomes human at the end of the game, so there's you answer___

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 1 points 3 hours ago

Oh lol I need to pick it up again

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 5 points 6 hours ago

Searching the epstein and trump papers for cocaine toilets...coming right up!

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Ive done more cocaine than the average person, sadly, and I’ve been in some wild circles. Never have I snorted cocaine from a toilet seat. The cistern sure but the seat come on bro.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I am NOT the guy to talk to about drugs but there have been toilets without their own tanks for a long time.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

In that situation you use the other side of your hand or a key. Keys can have the side effect of jamming up locks though.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Oh yea, I’m fully on board with find literally anything else haha

[–] ugandan_airways@lemmy.zip 7 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Exactly. The back of the toilet—sure. Very common. It’s basically a little table. Also great for smashing adderall on for snorting.

Who the fuck would snort something off a toilet seat? Why would you want to bend down that far? It makes no sense. These guys are full of shit no matter what they are talking about.

[–] magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Really? Why? Wouldn't you have a perfectly good and slightly less gross bathroom counter?

[–] ugandan_airways@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You usually do this to be “discreet.” I don’t make the rules. People have been doing this forever.

[–] magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Oh it just hit me you're talking like a public bathroom, that makes more sense.

Sorry most of my drug-doing is weed and psyches XP.

Exactly it’s logistically harder than just using the back.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 47 points 16 hours ago

The guy who got brain worms by eating roadkill isn’t afraid of germs?!? No way.

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 78 points 18 hours ago

I miss the days when satire was fake

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 26 points 15 hours ago

No shit. He literally doesn't believe in germ theory. He's a moron.

[–] thallamabond@lemmy.world 75 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

This guy does not believe in germ theory, he believes in TERRAIN Theory. So of coarse he is not scared of germs.

According to terrain theory, germs don’t cause disease – it’s your body’s failure to maintain internal purity. If you’re healthy enough, pathogens can’t hurt you.

[–] CocaineShrimp@sh.itjust.works 16 points 16 hours ago

Hey! As an aside - "of coarse" is incorrect, you're looking for "of course" :)

"Coarse" refers to the size of particulates like how big each piece of sand is. Coarse is larger bits of sand, making it rougher.

[–] marduk@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Good thing I ate all that dirt as a child, got my body terrain boosted early!

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

They now recommend packing feces directly into the mucous membranes so that you have a healthy immunity to strangers shit particles when you snort coke as your childhood blossoms into adulthood. Also helps if you only consume animals, roadkill is fine, builds immunity to brainworms so your brain tissue can simply kill them off later.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 8 points 15 hours ago

The body has a way of shutting it down. Especially if its illegitimate rape.

[–] dizzle18@lemmy.zip 27 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I’m just imagining Bobby on his knees, snorting a rail off a shit smeared toilet seat, all while a perfectly clean countertop is literally right next to him. Kind of easy to imagine, considering what a fucking dumbass this guy is.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 11 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

Also, whose got enough money for coke but not a small mirror, or a CD case, or a shiny book cover, or... Shit I'm telling in myself aren't I?

At least I never did it off a fucking toilet seat! Eww dude!

Bobby the type of mother fucker to not wash his hands after using the bathroom. Nasty bitch.

Glad the dude swimming in sewage run off, doing cocaine from toilet seats, and had a parasitic brain worm is in charge of our health

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

But the other person was fat and trans! /j

[–] inari@piefed.zip 31 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

This dude's on auto-pilot. The brainworm took the helm.

The thing about germs is that they can't smell your fear. They harm indiscriminately.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 26 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Fascists think germs harm the weak, who should die to purify the gene pool, and not the genetically superior and strong. And fascists always think they are among the superior, strong ones.

He isn't afraid of parasites either. Pretty sure putting the worm in control would be an improvement

I really did think this was an onion headline at first. This is a better anti-drug PSA than anything DARE did, since this guy clearly has stimulant abuse-induced brain damage.
