Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Elon has two left feet!
He's a leftist libtard!
A woke moralist!
Btw, that's a good point ... who's the moralists?
If i got it right, the "libs" are woke moralists, while the Reps are the "christian moralists" or sth, right?
Idk i was just making fun of JBP because of "up yours, woke moralists!"
Everyone is a moralist on the internet, it's just another way to divide people. The differences between the dems and repubs are just for show. It's been an oligarchy for decades, it's just obvious now.
That's what happens when you replace a professional photo editor with the 'put glue on your pizza' machine.
If it's Elmer's and anchovies Im down.
Honestly, I wonder if that's deliberate. Trump is famously litigious, and he has promised to weaponize the Justice Department against his political enemies. If you publish a video like this (ignoring the hacking onto government computers part right now), but that is clearly meant to appear real, what civil or criminal liability might you face? You could face a defamation lawsuit against a litigant with an unlimited bank account. You might face fraud charges by the Justice Department.
But give Elon two prominent left feet? No one is going to believe the video is real upon any close inspection. Any reasonable person will conclude the video is fake, rather than Elon having two left feet. Unless Elon wants to admit he has two left feet, he can't sue someone for defamation (at least under existing defamation law.)
If this is deliberate, it's actually quite brilliant. It's an AI video version of the small penis rule. This might get around anti-deepfake porn laws, but I'm not really sure on that one. This is more a traditional defamation thing. Not sure how it applies in anti-deepfake porn laws.
That would be rather clever!
Trump really isn't getting off on the right foot, is he?
It’s from the hormone therapy
his arm is doing some funny stuff too
