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!

The real scoop is that Trump himself wore a bluetooth communication device throughout the debate - the tell tale signs of subtle vibrations have been confirmed by independent experts - I've seen talk of this before on Lemmy but it seems like MSM have been suppressing this story... yet another case of conservative bias.

It's been credibly pointed out elsewhere that Trump pulled a Hans Neimann

It's well known that Donald Trump was using a bluetooth butt plug during the debate [...]

This would be a good rumor to spread except that everyone knows he doesn't have the rectal control to hold in a butt plug.

That's why he's got a diaper on. Helps keep it in place and catches it if it slips out.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

That's why he had that face the whole time

Is it Morse code or just the 1 for no, 2 for yes kind of thing?

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Can you imagine Donny Diapers learning Morse code? I'm surprised he can even read at a 3rd grade level.

Anyway, it's probably more like one buzz for "calm the fuck down" and two for "no, seriously CALM THE FUCK DOWN!"

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Morse code - it's how people talked when Trump was growing up afterall.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He grew up? I thought he just got old.

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 2 points 2 months ago

I thought it was smoke signals

BZZZZZ. BZZZZZ.

Tell him to change the subject from people eating pets!

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

"I'm trying but he won't stop!"

That's when he realised he liked the buzzing!
