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!

This dumbass actually went to Graceland and wondered aloud if he could beat Elvis in a fight.

Him? A draft dodger vs a draftee?? 🤣🤣🤣

[–] HermitBee@feddit.uk 0 points 1 month ago

I don't really understand these things. Conscription is a barbaric practice, how is "draft dodger" still an insult nowadays? Obviously conscientious objection is the higher road to take, but when your government is trying to force you to kill - and quite possibly die - for them, any response is more moral than just going along with it, imo.

Anyway Trump would obviously win, he'd cheat.

He would lose and Elvis been dead for 49 years.

[–] atropa@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

Why wasnt he on the epstein files ?

[–] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He couldn't think of his favorite Elvis song because his brain is destroyed by dementia.

NO ONE that age that isn't addled by a cognitive issue would not be able to think of a song when asked. Elvis dominated trumps generation.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He's also said he loves the Bible but mysteriously didn't have a favorite verse. So either dementia or lies, 50/50 really.

Hell I'm a neo-pagan and even I like some shit from the Bible. It's a good collection of history, legends, and myth though I can't recite any verse from memory I do like Samson and think Jesus whipping the money lenders is brilliantly spiteful.

Bible are great for little girls to stand on.

While in an elvis museum surrounded by the titles of songs no doubt. But he can’t read so..

[–] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Maybe if he's lucky, he'll go out straining on the toilet just like the King.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

You mean, if we're lucky.

[–] NOPper@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Surrounded by forgotten boxes of classified intel

[–] sploder@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I’ve been saying for a few years now that I hope he dies on the toilet trying to take a shit and blows his heart out. Too bad it didn’t happen AT Graceland

[–] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

When does TFG pull a fat Elvis?

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

I'd say Thank you very much

Meanwhile, Elvis's ex-wife Priscilla was visiting the Graceland in Denmark of all places. Guess she didn't want to meet Trump.
