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!

I can’t imagine giving a fuck, let alone wearing corrective shoes.
Hell I’m balding, so I must shave my head. I like it, other than the possible implications of my support for shitbsgs
I think the insecurity is what is being made fun of here. Bald people shaving their head generally don't get made fun of but, weird comb overs do because one is clearly insecure about it while the other is confidently bald.
In this case he is clearly insecure about his height and is wearing silly shoes to hide it. Or rather his reptilian handlers told him that being taller would improve his approval rating slightly.
Just be bald, just be short, just be fat, have a weak chin or a weird nose. Do things to complement your appearance but be confident about it.
I also think it's fine to make fun of a fascist torturer for things that it would be wrong to make fun of normal people for.
As a woman with a high hairline, I embraced having nice hats ... seriously, I love my hats and there's no reason dudes can't as well :-)
I also rock lots of headscarves, but that's a bit more gendered :-/
Dudes wear headscarves, they just call them bandanas.
Fair point, they're somewhat limited in patterns though aren't they? (I don't know, I'm in Europe and about the only time I've seen someone wearing a bandana they were cosplaying American bikers)
Depends on where you get them. If in the rural areas of the country, they tend to be found in just about any gas station, but as you stated the patterns tend to be the same ones in most if them. Those patterns being the American flag, the confederate flag, the jolly roger, and the old standby red and blue ones with a, I believe, fleur de lis pattern.
But, elsewhere you can find them at gift shops, theme parks, theme restaurants, etc. With all sorts of licensed patterns, such as animated shows, video games, and licensed properties such as Star Wars, Disney, etc.
That sounds cool, I kinda want a Star Trek themed bandana now ...
You can always claim to support SHARP

Or, ya know, actually support/join them. I don't, but I don't join groups. Too many people in groups.
I wouldn’t join a group that would have me, p sure a marx brother said that.
Bruh! Same boat. In 2019 I had a receding hairline and the same cut as that Charlottesville douchebag that was plastered everywhere.
Now I just gotta shave it. Pretty pissed at the alt-right for ruining the one of the very few haircuts I could pull off (amongst MANY other things).
We gotta take it back! Just like the phrase "porch monkey!" Take it all back from the racists and haters! Be like Randall!
