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!

But the most jarring aesthetic in this burgeoning MAGA stagecraft is the unbridled embrace of face-altering procedures: plastic surgery, veneers, and injectables like Botox and fillers. (As one Daily Mail headline declared, “Plastic surgery was [the] star of [the] show” at the Republican National Convention in 2024.) The overall look has since been disparagingly referred to as “Mar-a-Lago face.”

That sounds an awful lot like gender-affirming care. Guess they aren't real women/men.

/s (except for the fact that I don't think they're even really human anymore, but that has nothing to do with the care they received and everything to do with the shit they spew)

The closer to Trump each woman gets (lawyers, aides, Kristi's, Tulsi's), the more they start to look like Melania.

Stephen Tyler is really looking rough these days.

Would it work on Ted Cruz's wife?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

She's already suffering the marriage to Raphael...

There's nothing more to be done for/to her.

🤷‍♀️

No, just his hooker, apparently.

We need to start having boxing matches or fights for their political debates so everyone can see how cowardly and insecure they really are. He may be old, but I bet you Bernie Sanders could take 70% of Republican politicians in a fight. Maybe watch Al Green hit someone in the face with his "pimp cane." And AOC would fuck some shit up.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I feel like AOC would not hesitate to bite someone in a fight, I'm talking about like a full on ripping sinew and flesh out type bite. The type of biting that'd get a blood thirsty berserker to nod in respect. Ya get what I mean?

AOC bites off the rest of Evander Holyfield's ear.

I mean, Holyfield went up against Mitt Romney so it has precedent.

Absolutely ridiculous boxing by romney. Like, I didn't expect him to be good, but he literally fights like a 5 year old child in that clip. Like we're talking just a general lack of gross motor coordination. Disgusting. I know it's a joke fight, but have some self-respect.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah, that looked like dyspraxia more than it looked like boxing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I was thinking closer to the first zombies in Resident Evil 1 and 2.

Also that is certainly a video that exists.

This is nuts.

We can't choose our leaders based on how effective they are in hand to hand combat!

Stick with the current system: the one where we choose our leaders based on how much money they can raise.

Reminds me of when Saddam Hussein challenged Bush Jr to a duel. Yes this actually happened.

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

Saddam was a hit man before he came to power. Shrub was a cheerleader at Yale. Though I admit I'm still impressed at his shoe-dodging game, so maybe the odds would have been more even than I'm assuming.

Getting all that work done and transforming your face into an immobile cartoon guppy mask is yet another way of erasing individuality. Zero self-esteem.

Also, fuck the Daily Heil.
