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!

Thank God it wasn't acid or some even worse shit
I mean, it was acid. Just not a particularly strong concentration of it.
Yeah I was meaning something like sulfuric
Food-grade is thankfully not that harmful
Where are you getting food grade sulferic acid? Asking for a friend.
You jest, but you can absolutely get food-grade sulfuric acid
Mmmm nothing like a slightly salted romaine salad topped with sliced onion, olives, tomato, olive oil and sulfuric acid. Just like Grandma used to make.
That's disgusting, why the hell would you put sliced onion on a salad?
Because it's delicious! I love vidalia onions!
You’re a monster.
Lmao that's crazy, had no clue
Sysco
The thong song guy?
No, that's Sisqo. You're thinking about the tech company known for their network products.
No that's Cysco. You're thinking of the captain from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
No, thats Sisko. You're thinking of the DJ who made the song Smoke & Mirrors
Not the Sisko that I was thinking of when I made the comment, but cheers!

You can blind someone with salad vinegar.
I wouldn't be surprised if he has a chatgpt history asking about acid to throw on somebody, but he was too stupid to know that this wouldn't actually do anything but smell.
Weak
I’m literally shocked it wasn’t his own piss. Glad, but surprised.
He thought this was his out. He wanted it to be piss but was too scared. Prime MAGA chud.
I think it was a threat that next time it will be acid.
Vinegar is probably the most famous kind of acid.
You can get vinegar up to 20% acid, I use it on weeds, it's called horticultural vinegar. You can even get apple cider vinegar to 12%. If you get that stuff in your eyes there is a very real chance you will go blind.
Honestly, a real life two face representative could be a political powerhouse, Ilhan could pull it off and get some real work done.
