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!

Hey now, Chickens can put up a fight when they need to and are smarter than people think. Can we really say the same about trump?

This is kinda insulting to chickens. Chickens can be really nice and form bonds. Can we really say the same about trump.

When I had chickens I liked hanging out with them. The way the chased me when I had some food made me feel like I was in Jurassic Park.

I highly doubt hanging out with Trump would be that much fun. Unless I ran around holding a hamburger while he chased me. Maybe.

You could try dressing like a drag Ivanka. He'd come chasing you with tiny groping hands.

Edit: like a tiny, fat orange T-rex.

The takeaway from this thread is dressing as a tiny Ivanka disguised as a chicken will allow me to eviscerate small animals and form emotional bonds with humans, creating a band of wicked hobos while pursued across the desert island by fantasy-Trump, who has T-Rex arms with sharp claws

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yes, that is correct.

Rudy already did that, and they recorded it. No joke.

Chickens are fucking brutal. They'll tear a mouse to shreds in seconds.

That let me too fantasize about taking said orange chicken on in a fight.

It's not my most ethical not pacifist line of thought, yet strangely satisfying.
