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!

She tore Trump apart. "Unfortunate" was absolutely the wrong headline. There's so much gold here, and they went for the safe word.

How about "Arnold Palmer was appalled by Trump, according to daughter"

“My father was very modest,” Peggy continued. “We’ve lost our sense of outrage in this country over just about everything, and I’m not sure that’s OK

My dad didn’t like people who act like they’re better than other people,” she said. "He didn’t like it when people were nasty and rude. He didn’t like it when someone was disrespectful to someone else. My dad had no patience for people who demean other people in public. He had no patience for people who are dishonest and cheat. My dad was disciplined. He wanted to be a good role model. He was appalled by Trump’s lack of civility and what he began to see as Trump’s lack of character.”

I'm at a loss for words. This is such a weird story. Tim Walz is right. They are just weird. And creepy.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 4 weeks ago

Like Peggy Palmer suggests in the article, it's not just weird it's outrageous, and the people this works on? She says she's concerned about them.

Yea Peggy, all of us with two brain cells that sometimes rub together are concerned.

I like to remember him as one part lemonade and one part iced tea.

That's a good one.

Around central Florida we remember the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. Kind of a Mayo Clinic but for kids. Then there's the Arnold and Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women just around the corner from there....

Do people remember his giant penis? Are there statues or anything?

Yup my niece was born at Arnold Palmer and my wife had surgery at Winnie.

Trump has a diary where he keeps records off all of the famous dicks he's seen or heard of.

Alternate comment: Trump can't keep track of what black man he nearly died in a helicopter crash with, but Arnold Palmer's dong lives rent free in his head.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 4 weeks ago

Palmer’s daughter criticized Trump’s habit of name-checking admirable people as “a way of attaching those qualities to himself.”

“Anybody who doesn’t see past that, I’m concerned about them.”

She absolutely nailed it here. That's exactly what he does. And it's pathetic.

Psst, nice dick

-Trunp, probably

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

Alarming how easy it is to imagine his voice saying this….

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I been following Trump for decades and even I was shocked by this one.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Why you following him? Just wondering.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

He was a New York media fixture long before he went national.

The people in his home town know him best, which is why he lost NYC by 90% of the vote

“He had a really nice piece. Everyone wanted to see, but I saw it before anyone knew. I said they’re gonna be amazed, it was such a nice piece. People say mine is better, but his was also nice.” /s

When he said that a woman asking him tough questions had "blood coming out of her wherever" we had to know that decency went out the window.
