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!

He appears to be referencing the ”straight and narrow” idiom. So “straight” as in “follows the rules,” not “heterosexual.”
That said, it’s funny to see how much “weird” gets under their skin.
Not that funny, really. Conservatism is all about defining normality and attacking any deviation from it. "Weird" is the very definition for not normal. It's the antithesis of their meta value. Of course they'd hate it.
I personally don't think he puts that much thought into what he says, just kinda gets into his own strange type of flow and goes for it.
In Trump's head, there's a clump of brain cells the size of a grain of rice that's a Markov generator for bullshit. Trump has no interior monologue as we know it, and no thoughts as such. Just a random BS module and a market-testing one, to correct the BS weightings. The rest of the interior landscape is anxiety, self-loathing, greed and, more than anything, complete and utter desolation.
Follows the rules?
Well, not the “don’t have sex with the sofa” rule.
I'll bet he identifies with that old Plastic Bertrand song Ça Plane Pour Moi: "I am the King of the divan!"
Though I doubt if the divan's at all impressed.
Well yeah, follows the traditional, conservative rules that put men at the top of the hierarchy. These uppity women are just rule-breakers who dont know their place, they'd be much happier if they just shut up and follow our rules.
Maybe so but it's still weird af
Also, donOLD doesn't follow any rules and is as crooked as they get, and has been his whole life, so trying to claim that "JD" "Vance" is some kind of morally upright person by FLIP-FLOPPING on his never-donnie position and aligned himself with donnie is quite a stretch.
BTW, I'm so glad that TikTok video of "JD" "Vance" is going viral. Everyone needs to know just how much of a flip-flopper the couchfucker is.
I'm willing to bet that "creepy" or possibly "skeevy" might be a good followup.
