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!

He spent months/years going on and on and on about how Biden is too old, he can't see, he gets confused. Meanwhile trumps only outcomes of this situation are either

A) He finds men attractive. I personally don't care if he does, but I know his base would be mad at that, and his butt-buddy putin would be furious.

B) He legitimately can't tell the difference between men and women in his old age. In which case he's every bit of the exact same problems he was accusing Biden of for years. I guess he forgot that he's only 3 years younger than Biden, and time is always moving forward, which means that 3 years after trump accuses Biden of being too old, trump will be equally as too old.

Oh, who am I kidding? These people don't care about hypocrosy! Well....they do.....but only when the other side does it, so they can benefit.

Honestly, he probably had no idea who he was, got told some prolific person (who?) was endorsing him by his campaign managers and just went with female pronouns from the name 'Nicky' and called them hot to hype them up in some fucked up way?

Because he doesn't give a shit about anyone, he isn't going to put a second to learn about them.

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 17 points 3 months ago

This is the most likely answer imo

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

I could absolutely see that.

[–] Thann@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago

Exactly, his endorsements are so shallow, he sees their name for the first time on stage

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean if I had to choose between this dude and Laura Loomer . . .

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Thankfully, we don't have to.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 64 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nicky Jam does have kids, so he isn't a faux pa after all.

[–] Lookorex@lemm.ee 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] Neon@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

I love fucking you

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 60 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well, now he's obligated to get a sex change, isn't that how things work in Trumpland now?

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 53 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yup. He just needs to go to school, and come home with an operation. That's exactly how it works.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

that's so funny, imagine how disappointed trans people would be if this were even close to true after years of jumping through hoops. "this could've taken one afternoon‽"

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 37 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I find it hilarious that anybody would go on stage and endorse political candidate who has never met them.

Might as well have just said "I'm hoping to sell my music to racists and establish myself as 'one of the good ones'".

[–] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Why would meeting a political candidate be necessary to understand their policy positions and ability, advance then, and relative merits of the alternative? Democracy wouldn't work if that were needed.

Who'd have thought the profit motive would lead to outcomes that aren't always for the benefit of society.

[–] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago

Go fuck yourself, Nicky Jam.

[–] surge_1@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago

Weak energy

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 24 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think everyone can agree that is a very weird thing to do.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

If you like someone you get their pronouns right.

[–] AtomicHotSauce@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

Honestly? I don’t think there’s anything you could tell me about him or his ilk that would surprise me anymore. Like, if you said to me that he had literally begun telling people to stuff their anuses with jelly donuts and for them to dip their genitals into piranha-filled waters so they can avoid WiFi signals that will make them only slightly gay, I’d be like “yeah, that tracks.”

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Apparently he missed the 80s

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

I think the whole 80's gender bending stage has conveniently become a foggy fever dream for most of the MAGA crowd.

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Look in what dragged the cat

[–] riskable@programming.dev 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Now maybe Republicans can understand how it feels to be misgendered? Nah, that would require empathy!

You'd think everyone would've caught on by now with so many of them being misidentified as real men.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Watch the clip. If dude’s name had been Bob and not Nicky it wouldn’t have happened.

Still though, your point stands and it’s still one of the funniest, most awkward moments caught on video. :p

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

Tells you how much he really cares about anyone, just support me, get me elected, but then fuck off. I don't care enough to even recognize or remember you 5 minutes from now.

[–] ravhall 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Still have zero idea who this person is, but that single picture is a biography.

[–] FarFarAway@startrek.website 2 points 3 months ago

Something about being a popular reggaeton singer..

[–] RatsOffToYa@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Grab him by the bussy

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago

It's ILLEGAL to Treat Men as Women! And that Includes Men finding Men ATTRACTIVE! So OBVIOUSLY this is FAKE NEWS and NEVER HAPPENED even though I was There! It was ANTIFA!

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 9 points 3 months ago

when your rich like me you can get hot latin women to blow you. Amazing experience for any super straight guy like me.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 months ago

Who speaks about how hot a person is to a crowd just before they are slated to join you on the stage anyway? Ultra cringe.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Holy shit! Republicans have their own secret program to turn senile old farts gay!

..not that there's anything wrong with that...

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago

She is really hot, just like Laura Loomer. Have you seen them, SOooooo sexxxy!
