Rules:

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.

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.

"There's a certain level of decorum that I expect from political leaders, especially in front of cameras," Nate Vance - who spent three years volunteering with the Ukrainian military after Russia's full-scale invasion - told the BBC.

Dude even volunteered.

The hell? JD must be the salty ultra right wing uncle in the family who rambles conspiracies.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 6 days ago

Can we switch JD with Nate? Nate sounds like he is much closer to presidential material than his dipshit, couch-fucking joke of a cousin.

Thanksgiving was awkward for the Vance family.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Gonna be honest here. I kinda of assume it was awkward before this. Vance has the personality of a bag of frozen shrimp.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

At least the bag of frozen shrimp smells better than he does.

Not sure what y’all are doing, but leaving the shrimp outside gives it plenty of personality. JD would be jealous.

He's not invited unless he say thanks.

couches were involved.

This is news...?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

May I suggest this is news in exactly one household around the time of Christmas dinner and perhaps not... you know, the World? I'd suggest that to the BBC, too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

While I agree with you, this news made me (a non American) smile. So I am glad it reached the world I am in.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

It reminds the rest of us there are sane American's, so thank you Mr Vance for that.
