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!

Called it. Even if you completely ignore the Nazi tattoo, which you shouldn't. But I am willing to believe a scenario that involves an American ignorant enough of history to unwittingly get a Nazi symbol on their chest.
However, I didnt for a second think that his walk matched his talk. You aren't antiwar if you volunteer to go to war, re enlist twice, and then sign up to be a military contractor. You do that because you like violence and are a chud. I was also highly skeptical that someone who grew up going to one of the more expensive private schools in that region of the country, would really know much about class dynamics and socialism.
This guy was just going to be another Fetterman. A rich kid pretending to be for the worker while being bank rolled by their rich conservative family.
I am willing to imagine a dumb 20 year old army dong getting one, I am not willing to imagine he kept it for two decades through all that macho crayon eating, nips out with the boys, and never knew what it was. Regardless, your read on him is right. As soon as he got elected, he'd pop off the condom and treat us like his little war-girls.
With context it's not believable, but people wouldn't even engage with other criticism of his history unless you took the whole Nazi tattoo off the table.
If that had been the only glaring issue with his character it would be damning, but combined with his actual history and him being a nepo "small" business tyrant...... I couldn't see how anyone was willing to extend him the level of trust he gartered. It's like people haven't heard of politicians lying for personal gain or something.
