Is your back okay? Those mental gymnastics look hard for even someone half your age

[-] Nudding@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

When you grow up you'll realize mental gymnastics aren't a physical action.

Which part of my comment would you say is disingenuine?

[-] naught@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 months ago

I'll assume you understand metaphor/wordplay despite the jab.

You place Trump in remotely the same category as the "poors" which is comical. Obviously Biden doesn't make this joke about moms on WIC, etc., ie the real poors. You use more charged language like "millionaire president", but when was the last president who wasnt wealthy? What is your point? You can't place the Bidens' wealth remotely near the true robber barons, but thats what you attempt to evoke.

You have not presented facts, but rather used manipulative language endearing to Trump

I'm saying it's poor messaging by the dems. This is ammo for Fox News and the like.

Not all criticism of the president is support for Trump.

Idk Biden making jibes and jokes makes him appear mentally with it which contrasts the fox news narrative. It's not as mean spirited as Trump has been and even comes off as tongue in cheek IMO. I can see more positives than negatives, but I can also see it being spun by hacks, sure.

This particular joke was aimed at none other than Trump, so you saying this is Biden dunking on the poors does place you in a precarious position of calling Dolan a "poor" and defending him

I think these two ghouls are the worst America has to offer, one being a paid Zionist, the other an incompetent fascist.

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.

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
