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!

Can you show me where is the baby and rape videos?

Can you show me a video of the attack on the Jordanian base?

Can you show me where the "weapons of mass destruction in Iraq"?

When countries lies all the time it is normal to ask for definitive proofs instead of believing them..

Okay, beheadings and rapes are unconfirmed rumors, but they did burn children. Is that enough suffering for you?

Huh? Why do you want that? That the attack happened was confirmed.

Now you're just putting words in my mouth. Thanks.

I don't want to debate Israel October 7 here. I used it as part to ask for definitive proofs instead of attacking people based on false allegations to gain voter support.

The attack confirmation of tower 22 is based on USA allegations. The same people who said there are weapons for mass destruction in Iraq. While Jordan keep saying it didn't happen in their land.

All they need is a picture of the damage. Yet all they show is satellite image of the base.

I am just pointing the lack of credibility here.

You realize that many of those crispy people are burnt by IDF tank shots and hellfire missles right? The IDF admitted it already

Yeah I know, there are no good guys in this war.

[–] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Damn you really tried twice and got shot down twice by real facts. Did you learn anything today?

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I learned people on the internet behave the same as ever. Words can be twisted to mean whatever you want them to mean.

[–] deft@lemmy.wtf 0 points 2 years ago

This is so ironic bro.

Half of what you said became instantly untrue. The other half is questionable because it is pretty clear the IDF killed their own people here.

So who had their words twisted? Sounds like either you willingly sell lies or you're taking bait and handing out pretwisted words.

Don't take my advice if you don't wanna but always always always see who has more money. Who benefits more.

Israel vs Hamas, who has more money? who benefits more?

Ukraine vs Russia, who has more money? who benefits more?

It is literally clear as day where you should send your criticism. It is always towards the money

In Jordan Iraq and Syria? Some food for thought:

Bruh.

I know what you're doing. I do it too, when I'm having a conversation with someone and I think I know what they're going to say. I'm often wrong.
