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!

WATTERS: And then they sabotaged the teleprompter. I mean, this is an insurrection. And what we need to do is either leave the UN or we need to bomb it. It is in New York though right?

GUTFELD: Yeah, it is.

WATTERS: Could be some fallout there. Alright, maybe gas it?

DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): Let's not do that.

WATTERS: Don't gas it. Okay, but we need to destroy it. Maybe can we demolish the building? Have everybody leave and then we will demolish the building.

Everything is an insurrection with these idiots.

[–] xyzzy@lemmy.today 89 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Except the actual insurrection they did

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's the goal when they call everything else an insurrection. Water it down when they do it.

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Any time they get accused of something, you can bet they’ll start calling others it shortly after.

Every time they accuse others of something unprompted, you can bet they have already done it .

The dumbest thing was Trump trying to call others out on Mortgage fraud.

I think my brain seized up when a fan of both fElon and Taco declared a vote against Taco was a vote for the oligarchy.

It's clear they heard Bernie out there campaigning against the oligarchy, had some vague notion that it was not a flattering word, and decided to apply it to Biden and Kamala.

I mean. What. The. Actual. Fuck.

Gotta set those deflectors to max.

Except actual insurrection. They want to water down the word in people's minds so the terrorist attack of Trump supporters trying to kill the people certifying the 2020 election and Donald's subsequent pardoning of all those terrorists and firing of anyone who dared participate in the investigation against them doesn't seem so bad.

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 5 points 1 day ago

Yup. But we still need to call them out as idiots even if we know what their true game is.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They just repeat words they've heard smarter people use. He has no clue what he just said.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was thinking of Everything_I_Dont_Like_is_woke.jpg. Has same basic energy.

Starbucks barista got your order wrong? It's probably because they are woke and they are carrying out an INSURRECTION on you!!!

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

We've moved on. It's antifa now.

Cashier short changed me! Fucking insurrection that is!
