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!

"now"?

Guy's been running from the truth since he was in diapers.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

still is...

what? diapers or running?

yes

(well it's more like a twaddle)

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day ago

problem is he's got experience

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He doesn't need to run. His parents were so wealthy they immunized him against all consequences of his actions. Even South Park didn't dare depict him.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day ago

Well y'see the truth he's been running from is that mommy and daddy didn't care about him and couldn't be bothered to give him any of their attention - too busy with all that wealth - so they let him be raised by the TV.

So now he's grown older but not wiser, and he's still just that little boy that needs attention, and approval, and the thing he hates most actively is people who speak badly of him, who don't give him that approval he needs so desperately, but what he really can't handle is not getting attention.
