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!

Even if we ignore the doodle
And that given all we know about about trump and Epstein, we know that the inside joke between them here is about pedophila, or at the very least about them being creepy misogynistic sex pests.
And let's assume that despite everything we know about them that somehow this is about something inane, like a shared love of football, or model railroading, or going to McDonald's for hamberders or something.
Can we agree that this is just a really fucking weird and creepy way to write a birthday letter? Someone tells you they're going to put together a book of letters from friends for someone's birthday and this is what you spit out? The script of some weird scenario you imagined where the two of you are responding to a voiceover and jerking each other off about your shared hobby?
If I got a letter, card, Facebook post, message, etc. like this from someone I know, I'd ask them if they're alright because that's a fucking weird way to send a birthday message.
Why are Republicans so attracted to weird pieces of shit?
Insecure minds attach to authoritarianism because they rely on narratives and a sense of promised security. It's literally the answer, it's been studied.
I'm insecure as fuck, but I'm not a Nazi...
If you're insecure and on lemmy, that makes you a sub, not a conservative.
UwU?
It's their comfort zone.
Yep!! I get that sense of humour is a personal thing but this is utterly weird. It's creepy, and not normal. I'm a dv outreach worker and men that do weird things like this are often highly sexually abusive. It's just... creepy AF
Don't worry, everyone will.
