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!

Link to the video for anyone else who struggled to find it hidden in the article:

Thanks.
I hate Twatter so here is an NBC video timestamped to the start. The rest of the show is just Joe talking.
You are the hero that we don't deserve. Except for me, I totally deserve you ;)
But wait, it goes even deeper
Here is the yewtu.be link so you don’t have to deal with actual YouTube https://yewtu.be/f5cAap8pol0?t=70
When I click it, it just goes to the homepage.
It did for me, too, so I poked around a bit. If i search for just the YouTube video identifier (don't know the technical term) it brings up the video on yewtube , so this should work:
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=f5cAap8pol0
(It doesn't seem to like the time appended to the end)
That worked! I love all these YouTube alternatives, I’ll crawl through the mud to use them lol
So that last link just landed me on the search page, and I decided to lookup "poop head", and this is what I got. I'm not disappointed.
You mean Xwatter
Quite possibly one of the greatest campaign ads I've seen. It's just too perfect.
It's extremely intelligent. Using the other side's words against them. Not only that, he never said a single word in it. Just actions. In a cinematic context it is a great way to tell a story without having to tell the audience.
And not a single dig on the other side. Classy.
Any non-Twitter alternative?

Those replies remind me why I block Twitter on my router.
oof that was bad...hadn't been there since Space Karen took the wheel.
You know what, maybe I should go back to using Twitter links now that you can’t see the replies anymore…
Reading the replies was a mistake
Well twitter's rage bait algorithm pushes the right wing trolls to the top (I saw one guy called colarado"""researcher""" was so butthurt he made like 8 replies posting boomer memes) but if you load in more replies there is tonnes of people making positive comments and are getting a lot of likes.
Ouch... you weren't kidding. And I knew that, but I did it anyway. Shame on both of us I suppose, lol.
How in the world could someone's naked picture be public domain? Just wondering and asking since you mentioned the Twitter comments.
