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!

He must not have anyone competent on his staff if this happens. Usually they send people ahead to check to see if the people working there want to be on camera and talk

maybe aides all hate him.

Maybe they did and this was the most acceptable place. I imagine most decent restaurants have rules about fornicating with the furniture, so it really limits your options when you are a known couch fucker.

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Most restaurants don't have those rules until someone does it, then the rule is put in place.

If he had competent staff they would have stopped him from being Trump's running mate.

To be fair he’s the Heritage Foundation’s guy to make sure that a Trump Administration actually gets Project 2025 work done. I forget what position he previously held with the Heritage Foundation but its pretty dang obvious that’s the whole point of selecting him for Trump’s VP

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Heritage Foundation people were woven throughout the previous admin and the Supreme Court, and would be in a second admin, but vance is there as peter thiel's lapdog and surrogate. He's there to make sure that private equity and certain tech figures (like musk) are protected and taken care of. Thiel is also good friends with Ann coulter to the point that she dedicated a book to him (which should LOUDLY tell you something).
