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!

Maybe he'd meant to praise Hitler's genitals instead.

Look, having Hitler, legendary guy, only got one ball they said, took over Europe, real tough guy, real though guy, good speaker, my uncle used to tell me you can't be as strong as Hitler, but I'm strong, Putin loves me, it's horrible, badly treated Putin is, defends himself and the left cries "oh, he took my land", well so what, he was tough, took the land, broke the land, took and broke, that too, and people tell me "sir why are we paying the bill?" it's because you need a smart president a smart president doesn't pay those bills, not one bill, not one bill all, one ball, Hitler took over Europe with one ball more than comrade camel-a, what has she ever done, we're getting destroyed.

It says a lot that I cannot tell this is reality or satire.

[–] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 37 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A serious contender for the office of president, everybody.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

The fact that he's got 50% of the vote is scarier

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Jfc I read that fast and thought it said hitler’s genitals. Which is no less believable than the actual fucking headline. Shit is FUCKED.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I misread the title as "genitals" and didn't skip a beat. I'm not sure if this says* more about me or him.

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

He's still waiting for Steiner's counterattack. Any day now.

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein!

[–] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

......He did know that a bunch of them tried to kill Hitler, right? He would not just make shit up in his mind and just believe what he wants, right? RIGHT?!

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

To paraphrase Donald's sociopathic idiocy...

I like generals who weren't complete failures as generals.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Very disgusting of him.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

On the bright side: at least he didn't go on at length about Hitler's genitals.
