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!

This is the same guy that Republicans cheered because he called for the eradication of trans people.

He is a piece of shit, hence his popularity with other pieces of shit.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah yes. Newton's Turd Law.

Wait, if I, as a straight cis guy, find myself in the vicinity of a pride event what crime am I guilty of? In fact, what constitutes a pride event? My son is gay. Should everyone that attended his graduation be arrested? What if he had a rainbow on his hat?

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Should everyone that attended his graduation be arrested?

Only if you were proud of his accomplishments.

~~Straight~~ Gay to jail.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Eventually having a gay son will be a crime in his eyes.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure "eventually" is right now. He believes people are gay because they're groomed to be.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

There seems to be a pattern where the most outspoken anti-gay people are actually themselves in the closet. Should make a law that it's illegal to hide if you're gay, then just arrest anyone that wants to enforce it.

Show me what fascism looks like

[–] TurboDiesel@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago

Michael Knowles, of the conservative publication The Daily Wire

There it is.

Ok seriously, who the fuck are these chucklefucks that keep getting into the news cycle??

I keep hearing about a new “right wing pundit” every week, are they being made in a factory?

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pretty much. If you have few to no morals and don't mind risking getting punched in the face when out in public then you could be a right wing pundit.

Not gonna lie, it seems like a pretty easy racket if you have no morals.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe if these fascist ball sacks were always met with a volley of rotten vegetables every time they showed their disgusting faces they'd crawl back to the sewers where they belong.

[–] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

This one's been around a while. He's just more pathetic than some of the others.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

they're being cloned. contrary to popular belief, the bigotry is by design rather than an accidental mutation.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I wanna hit him in the face with a brick. We don't all get what we want.

[–] vivavideri@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

It'd be a really good look for him, getting hit with a brick.

[–] dragonflyteaparty@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wait, hold on. I didn't realize everyone at pride events were taking their tits out and giving hand jobs. When did that happen?

[–] Cabrio@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Gaslight. Obstruct. Project.

The institution got blind sided by family values fondler boebert and are behind the wave on their propaganda.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

What a piece of shit

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

The side of free speech strikes again

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 2 years ago

Sucking a dick in public is far more indecent than wearing leather, feathers, rainbows and lace. What a piece of shit.

[–] drunkenmonkie2@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why do people listen to this cartoon rat looking motherfucker?

[–] PostmodernPythia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Don’t insult Scabby like that. Cartoon rats are way better looking than this douche canoe.

[–] who8mydamnoreos@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Why does this pervert care so much how people get off?

[–] Dick_Justice@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The only thing they have are whataboutisms.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

would be a shame if his suit got covered in a bucket of toilet slop.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Isn't that official platform of the Republican party?
