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 just seems like the kind of guy who’s never been punched in the face but really needs to be.
I’d prefer shot with a bologna loaf out of a canon but yea agreed
I tried loading lunch meat into my canon but it developed a film.
This was such an intricately crafted joke that my brain almost couldn't handle it.
It's just too good!
I’m still waiting for someone to ask for an explanation and someone (possibly else) to provide one.
With those two pieces I'm sure it will click for you ;)
Thanks, but theae were references even I understood immediately. I’m struggling with the connection between lunch meat and film developing.
The first poster suggested shooting bologna out of a cannon, but spelled it like a camera. The second poster then noted that when he put meat into his camera, it developed a film. Like when you leave meat out it may grow a film of biological yuck, but with a masterful pun attached due it being a comment about a camera.
Thanks folks. I'll be here ruining jokes by explaining them all day! Don't forget to tip your waitstaff!
Ah, the film developing is a reference to spoiling food. Makes sense, thanks. Sorry for being so slow, English is not my native language.
Not slow at all. I enjoyed our time together :)
This is that joke you're so proud of, but then you tell people IRL about it and they just look at you and say "OK? Hah?" But you know in your gut it is perfect.
We see your perfection, and thank you for it.
I'd settle for "face any meaningful consequence for his actions."
I like "shot with a ball of his own shit".
Would you settle for “drowned in a tank of his own shit, heated to a scalding temperature”?

I volunteer as tribute!
(Obviously, this is a joke-response. I'm not actually volunteering or advocating violence.)
