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!

South Park already showed Saddam Hussein’s penis in all its glory.

Think about it:

  • Saddam? Exposed.
  • Trump? Censored.

This is TOTAL DISCRIMINATION

The point is FAIRNESS. If one guy’s junk gets airtime, then THE DONALD’S deserves a prime-time show!

This isn’t just TV—it’s about AMERICAN VALUES.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

That was a movie, though. There are different standards on cable.

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

There are standards on cable?

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

They're largely self imposed. But yeah. For instance breaking bad a limit of 3 "fuck"smper season and sometimes they're still bleeped depending on what time of day you're watching it

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 hours ago

Not if your studio can afford the fees

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 15 points 20 hours ago (5 children)

What even ARE the products in these ads??? (Clicking just sends me to Temu)

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 hours ago

Left to right:

  1. Eyeliner/False lash glue stencil
  2. Rhinestones for eyelash decoration
  3. Same as #1
  4. Fake high-quality (as in low quality designed to look high quality) sweater/pant combo
  5. I think these are some kind of facial serum, or health/mana potion minis. Either way do not consume, and probs don't spread it on your skin
  6. A hoodie

Yall mfs got ads on your lemmy?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 hours ago

What the fuck is an ad doing in open source software?

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 22 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Why are you using a Lemmy client with ads?

Take this, it's open source and platform agnostic https://getvoyager.app/

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Does lemmy even have ads or are they served by the whoever developed the app?

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago
[–] eRac 11 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Why are you getting adds on Lemmy?!

1/3 appears to be an eyeliner stencil. 4 and 6 are clothing. 5 is glass orbs full of low-freezing-point liquid so they stay liquid in a freezer but have high thermal mass. They are used in some woowoo skincare routines to cool skin.

2 is very weird. It's an index finger that appears to be covered in glitter and tiny orbs.

[–] ElectricTrombone@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

2 looks like a finger with a "fresh" tattoo to me. That's what they look like immediately after they are done. Kind of swollen, and they are usually covered something. Probably to make sure it heals properly. I'm not an expert though.

[–] eRac 3 points 7 hours ago

It did to me too until I zoomed in.

My wife thinks it is beads using a finger for scale. The glitter effect on the finger is likely fresh adhesive sticking them there.

[–] Localhorst86@feddit.org 9 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Why are you getting ads on Lemmy

Because they are using a client that injects ads into its feed.

I believe Boost does that

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

I have the opinion that the asshole who chose the images, intentionally chose 6 even if it's "unrelated" because it has a X and at a first glance people might click it thinking it's a button to close the ad

And they cropped the finger to make it look an erect penis, to get clicks

[–] rockettaco37@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

Good. Free speech has no meaning unless actually put into practice.

[–] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You can watch the end of the episode on HeTrumpedUs.com, I don't think the article gives it enough credit for the thing they pulled.

I would have never guessed they get this aired, they are really not giving any fucks.

[–] Barberserk@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I will admit they give no fucks when they criticise Israel's genocide. Until then, they are playing it safe. Trump doesn't care what the left says about him, this won't reach enough of his voting base to matter. They control their narrative.

[–] Auntievenim@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

I forsee a "school shootings" style acknowledgement where throughout the season they will just have a constant stream of children being bombed in the background while the episodes are going and finally do an episode where someone is actually acknowledging the genocide and thinks they're overreacting about it because nobody else cares about the children being exploded in town

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

They really should have also given him small hands.

[–] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

and he hasn't been that slim since high school.

[–] bigbabybilly@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good news: they didn’t show a penis. It’s animation. None of it is real.

[–] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Did you watch it, it really wasn't animated. They also showed the cartoon one multiple times.

You can watch the end of the episode on HeTrumpedUs.com (linked in the episode also)

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The ai penis wasn’t blurred out…

[–] MisterD@lemmy.ca 4 points 19 hours ago

And it talks!

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 23 hours ago

It's so teeny tiny though, it should be fine.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It’s gonna be a long list on what they sue them for, snicker. It’s baaaaad.

Here are all of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released.

https://joshwho.net/EpsteinList/gov.uscourts.nysd.447706.1320.0-combined.pdf (verified court documents)

https://joshwho.net/EpsteinList/black-book-unredacted.pdf (verified pre-Bondi) Trump is on page 85, or pdf pg. 80

Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her,” Trump said. “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.”

Wtf is that list, the white pages? So many numbers

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

I will never not upvote this wherever I see it on Lemmy. Godspeed.

Unfortunately they didn't host the video themselves so YouTube age restricted it, not viewable for me.
