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!

It might’ve been more effective if anyone has footage of Trump laughing from the last few decades. We’ve got tons of old clips of him perving on his daughter, but not a single chuckle. The man is incapable of humor, how fucking weird and sad.

I dont know why the dems don't dig up those old clips of him saying that shit about his daughter, it was so fucking creepy and awkward. Maybe they're afraid his base will like it? Or we just don't fight as dirty as the repubs do. Idk.

Her laugh isn't even abnormal, like at all. She has a very normal genuine hearty laugh. Ya know, like humans generally do.

Yet none of us have ever heard trump laugh...

[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

He's jealous. He doesn't have that spark inside to laugh

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

It’s so wholesome, I feel like a real person is in a position to take the White House and it’s so heartening to believe in.

Why tf is the narrative about name calling??! This is such a distraction. Even if she laughed like Fran Drescher, it's such a double standard to pretend this might disqualify her while her opponent stole nuclear secrets and is besties with putin.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fran Drescher has a weird laugh but she's the president of the Screen Actors Guild and recently led them through a successful strike and contract renegotiation.

Maybe ladies with funny laughs are actually better leaders...

[–] Jasonw911@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Huh. Did not know that. Good for her

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

She's just laughing at a chickenshit who's too cowardly to debate her.

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Such a weird thing to focus on. Maybe that's why it doesn't work.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

I’ve been watching clips of Who’s Line is it Anyway on… Facebook of all places (I know, don’t remind me) and the folks commenting on them always, without fail, mention how much they hate Aisha’s laugh. I truly don’t understand why people find it so off putting.

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Imagine thinking laughter is abnormal?

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Kamala should make fun of Trump's laugh and let him try to refute it
