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!

I wish instead of Ric Flair in drag with bad opinions, we had actual Ric Flair in her seat in congress.

[–] NewEnglandRedshirt@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Flair actually did consider running for governor of NC at one point, so it isn't as unlikely as you might think.

as someone that lives with Glenn Jacobs (Kane in the wwe) as mayor I will second leaving pro wrestlers out of politics please.

But Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, Five-time Ultimate Smackdown Champion was a great President!

Ventura was bad enough, man.

lets leave off the pro wrestlers. Though maybe we should try to lure MTG away from politics to a career in pro wrestlign. I bet her fans would love that.

What was bad about Ventura? I thought the changes he made were pretty good?

Gonna say that when you've had more concussions than political debates under your belt, you might not be the best politician

This just looks like .... regular Ric Flair?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i have no idea who Ric Flair is (sorry) but I'm almost positive I'd agree with you if I did.

[–] ElBarto@lzrprt.sbs 3 points 1 year ago

They would need to make the floor soft, because you know he's gonna Flair flop in the middle of his speech.
