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!

Bet you this guy gets caught in a wide stance at some point.
Like simultaneously pro-life AND pro-NRA?
😉
"Wide Stance" is a reference to the long-time R senator from Idaho who was busted by a detective at the Minneapolis airport while apparently looking to have anonymous gay sex in a restroom. It seems the way guys would signal their interest to each other was by playing footsie between the stalls, and Craig's excuse was he is a 'wide guy' which somehow turned into 'wide stance'.
Also, check out the recipe he submitted to the Congress Cooks! cook book (which was really hilariously horrible, btw, it's gone now but used to be on a site called virtualcities):

The Super Tuber. Most homoerotic entree I have ever imagined... you are supposed to take a potato, cut a hole through it, grease it up, then shove a hot dog through the middle.
The show Boston Legal has a bit about this. William Shatner's character is trying to take a dump and gets accused of soliciting gay sex. This is also the episode where his phone makes the Star Trek communicator whistle.
No like "just asking for some tp" under a stall divider.
Heads don't fall that easily.
