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!

Normal people cry at the end of Schindler's list because of all the Jews who got away. Stephen Miller cries at the end of Schindler's List because of all the Jews who got away.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

Difficult read but I got it! I got the joke! In understand why both normal people and that nazi sonobabich cry at the end of Schindler's list!

[–] Pee_comes_from_the_balls@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Is this why he supports the genocidal state of israel?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So is Dr norman finklestein, religious faiths should not be an excuse to genocidal support.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

it’s never about supporting israel, or protecting the jewish people. they are more then happy to orchestrate war between foreigners. they support tyrany, the outcome of their death cult, as a means to abuse power and wealth. israel is just another pawn by any other name

[–] Pee_comes_from_the_balls@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Conflating 19th century shabbatist and zionist rhetoric with political science to hone a narrative meant to adress a hateful government will only rob away the validity of the rematriation of the occupied palestinan land.

I'll support landback for any opressed people, but if I can agree on one point in your comment, adressing the holocaust with the creation of the israeli state was definitely the most effective and stupid way of creating a lot of hate that will someday come back to the jewish religious practitioners and harming them in the process. It's not good, a lot of jewish people like Neturei Karta have made so much effort to correct the hate.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Weird how we only start seeing these kinds of ideas hit news sites just when people are starting to turn on the ol' GOP.

Like, we've been seeing this guy vomit hateful, nonsensical bullshit for years now and everyone out here with half a brain just looking at each other like, "Is this for real?" but apparently Doctor-Evil-Meets-Wormtongue actually running policy in our country is fine. It's fine. Don't worry about it. Go back to your slop, piggies.

But now when people are talking about primaries and voting out incumbents, suddenly everyone is scrambling to throw everyone else under the bus and we get stories like this finally reaching our eyes.

I mean, this absolute freak of nature has been screaming on camera like Elliot Rogers reincarnated for so long, that it feels obvious and hollow now that people are talking about it. Feels very "It's only bad when we're in trouble."

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wtf are you talking about? These stories have been out there the whole time. Last week. Last month. Last year.

A problem is that they're still not mainstream articles. Like this one.

NYT did have a number of negative articles about Miller as well, but people weirdly don't give enough of a shit.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've been reading about that cunt for over 5 years, nothing good. No one cares.

Shut down all medical research? No one cares.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

This is the real problem.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who's running the country?

The bumbling Alzheimer's patient who shits his own pants or dollar store Hitlers right hand wannabe?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am pretty sure it's whoever the last person was to talk to him. That's why people fight so hard for access.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is exactly it.

Last to talk to him and know how - kiss his ass, tell him how whatever it is will make him look good, etc.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Literally an email from the latest Epstein drop showing that this was know and conveyed by Epstein, himself!

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How is this guy still alive? He gives interviews so often that it seems like he should be a target by now.

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So he lives in fear of his life? Thought MAGA didn't live in fear

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

No one lives in more fear than those who have to tell you they don't.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

That's the only way conservatives/MAGA live. They are in a perpetual state of fear. It's why everything new or different is bad to them. Conservatism is literally fear of the future!

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

He's not so much alive as undead.

Stephen Miller

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You might be on to something. I found this picture of him from 1922.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

He looked more alert in those days. Better fingernails too.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They are ALL dangerous, they just specialize in different parts of a shitty rainbow. RFK, Noem, Bovino, Miller, Thiel, Elon, Bari, Johnson, Schumer, Maxwell, The Orange One, and so many others...

ALL need to be trialed and hanged. Anything less, would allow the next generation of shitbirds to do this again.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

Yep. We need to deal with the current crop of traitors, and do it so strongly and decisively, that future assholes will find another hobby.

And if they don't, it should make it harder for them to find supporters.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, RFK just needs to be kicked out of his position, I don't think there's malicious intent, he's just a supremely dangerous incompetent to be making health decisions for anything, let alone a nation.

He's perhaps the only sincere guy in the entire administration and yet one of the most dangerous because of it.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can't possibly work for Trump without at least being knowingly complicit in malicious intent.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I mean, RFK Jr is pretty dumb...

[–] homes@piefed.world 14 points 1 week ago

Yes, he should be at the top of the list of admin to fire and prosecute the instant Trump is out of power, but it's a huge mistake to think that he is "the" problem or even the worst one, rather than Trump. Yeah, sure, Miller is Head Ghoul on the Trump 2.0 team (I heard "Grossferatu" lmao!), but he's just one of many sycophantic enablers that are responsible for the horrors we all experience at the hand of Trump. And the recent Vanity Fair article revealed a lot more about the dynamics of Trump's cabinet than they're comfortable with.\

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You people need another Luigi.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fun fact: Steven Miller doesn't get Secret Service protection.

He did recently move into military housing after somebody graffiti'd the street outside his house (or something like that), though.

[–] fallaciousBasis@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yea.... Try hard enough to get on a military base without authorization... You will be shot.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's a shame Miller is too much of a sniveling coward to stay in his own house.

I'm surprised he (presumably) still leaves the protection of the military base to go to work.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

While it is a bit different I've heard of veterans getting into bases without proper authorization before. Mind you that's prolly cause the guys on duty just assume they're friends or family of someone on the base but still, but I also suspect that whatever base is housing Miller probably has stricter orders or at least the attempt to have them what with malicious compliance and all.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait, for real? Someone graffiti'd something and THAT'S enough to move him into military housing?! WTF? What kind of cowardly bastard is this fucker?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yep. Basically, protestors made it clear they knew where he lived and so he fled like the little bitch he is.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He's Wormtongue, whispering poison into the dottering old fool's ear.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"Why do you lay these troubles upon an already troubled mind?"

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

"He has a ballroom to think about. And a big arch."

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The orange dipshit is literally shitting himself in public. He's done.

The fascists that have had their hand up this puppet's ass controlling him now have their opportunity to take over.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Why do you think I keep challenging him to fist fights? He’s the most evil one in DC and that’s saying A LOT.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

Oh, by the way, his wife is a real peach, too. A female version of him.

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Keep calling him President Miller. We saw what happened with Elon Musk when we started calling him President Musk.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Don't worry. The guillotine's blade is sharp enough for his head too.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago
[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

A truly evil man that needs to be punished and given a public execution.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Why impeach? Just send an Italian plumber.
