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!

Randy Fine wears a butt-plug to the house of representatives and has a tiny penis. Pass it on.

Can we start shaming and holding people accountable for voting for these miscreants? Like, “oh, you voted for someone who wants to mass murder brown babies? I’m not letting you into my shop, into my club, etc.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I recall a lawsuit a while back. Political affiliation is not a protected group, so yes we "can".

Hard part is, we can't prove who voted for whom. (And rightly so)

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sometimes they wear a hat or armband for easy recognition.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

YES.

Morons And Genuine Assholes

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well, yeah, but don’t forget they are the party of pedophiles and pals.

[–] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Pedophiles is too nice of a word for them, they are baby fuckers.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 42 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Just as Jesus would have done.

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Jesus, the guy famous for not feeding hungry people in Palestine.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Remember these monsters names when it’s time for them to ask for our votes.

[–] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Remember their names for Nuremberg Trials v2. All their talk about immigrants bringing crime, and yet they're all soulless, assholes who lack a shred of empathy, and have convinced themselves they're "taking out the competition." Crime is fine with them as long as it's their friends doing it.

As an aside I'm trying not to legitimize their twisted, racist views of immigrants, so I hope that's clear in how I wrote this, but I'm also aware that I'm tired and should be asleep, so including this aside in case I didn't make that clear. Immigrants belong in my country as much as I do (probably more than I do in many cases), and we should be working to treat them better, not worse.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Agreed 100%

I mean, he's a Republican. Don't you already know enough?

[–] griff@lemmings.world 17 points 4 days ago

Feed the hungry everywhere, starve all the devious malevolent oligarchs of their morbidly excessive funds

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 22 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Can we lock this pissant in a storage container and livestream his slow starvation? We can give him water and a loaded gun, I ain't a monster if he wants to pussy out that'd be on himself.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Before that we need to create our own court system to pass judgement on these pedophiles.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm more of the vigilante type why court when 12 gauge will do.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 3 points 4 days ago

Because individualizing violence won't change the system. When we set up our own courts and then use a 12 gauge to enforce, we're putting the elites on notice that there is a new sheriff in town.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Can we lock this pissant in a storage container and livestream his slow starvation?

No, because he is one of the Elites who rules over us with an iron fist. Not one of the miserable constituents he steps on in his path to wealth and power.

[–] griff@lemmings.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The water is much like a predatory loan, it may give hope in the immediate but in the long run it will break their spirits and destroy their hope.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Then he should go to Gaza by himself and walk around doing a live stream. That's the easiest way to show everyone that your telling the truth, and that your not just a bad faith, shit shoveling, traitor

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The IDF will see him live stream and think he's a reporter and shoot him.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago
[–] PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, I'd like to drop this guy right in the middle of the plight and see his brain melt.

He'd complain about the lack of service.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

JESUS would NOT want to Feed Hungry Children either! Or Hungry ANYONE for that Matter!

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm on Lemmy WAY too MUCH! I see THIS Format and I IMMEDIATELY know it's BIGMACHOLE!

It's kinda like a work of art, you've created a recognizable "brand" lol

[–] gidostro@lemmy.cafe -4 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's neither insightful nor funny.

[–] gidostro@lemmy.cafe -2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I did not mean it to be funny. It was an accusation. One that I think is correct

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So far as I know it's satirical and very /s

[–] gidostro@lemmy.cafe 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So, only your opinion and you are just here to argue?

[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Based on what? It’s just banter and supportive of the satire. Check people’s comment history before you try dragging them into a trench.

[–] Madagaskar_sky@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

He's speed running genocide apologia! He's already denying it ever happened, while it's happening! Also, he managed to cram 'It didn't happen and if it did then they deserved it' in one sentence!

This guy is a pro and I think he's had a lot of practice over the years.
