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!

You know this sounds super smart to a certain group of people...

Hold on. U and s... that does spell us! To think no one has thought of that until Trump! This is truly Trumps world and we are just living in it.

No need to slander Peggy like that.
My dad...
No Don, no one has thought of that. Just like no one has ever remembered “person man woman camera TV” before.
sigh everything is terrible lol
Sometimes you have a thought or idea that you think is 100% unique and original and then you do five seconds of Googling to discover that not only have a lot of other people thought of it before, but they thought of it long before you ever did and may already be a thing you never knew about. You have a Today I Learned moment and life goes on.
...and then there's whatever the fuck this idea is that should have never even left his mouth to begin with. It's one thing to drop this granule of insight down on the bar while you're sharing a beer with your pals after you've had one too many already. It's another to hear it come from someone that once led the country and some people think is smart. Holy Jesus.
When will Jason Bateman be cast as Batman?
When he stops being “Master Batesman”
I'm really high and I really don't mean this to come across as critical but what was the thought process in adding the s to bateman? If you skip the s the joke still makes sense and you get to keep the last name intact.
Honestly? You ascribe far more intentionality than I had.
It was probably autocorrect or habit. Used to have an employee by that name, who, may have frequented our texts…
The final straw was going on a crusade to figure out who ate his “Craft cup cakes” (from a cup cake shop. Disgusting things- they used shortening in the butter cream.)
The thing was, he left them on the coffee service where we leave things for sharing. (Donuts, bagels. Cupcakes.) basically everybody walked by and had them a slice of cupcake.
Awww, Donnie just learned how to spell a two letter word! What a smart boy he is!
Well, that's because Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.
Can we put this in text books as "example of how democracy is not an exact science."
1969 - Hogan's Heroes. Col. Klink is shown a insignia button found in the woods. "it says 'us'" he says (to canned laughter)
So only 54 years ago confirmed evidence that it had been thought of before

Two letters. Two. Dude thinks he invited the idea. What an absolute skid mark.
