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!

People that don’t like to kink shame but also hate Noem must be sweating right now.

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

(Not actually blindsided because she almost certainly had it leaked)

"I don't give a fuck who they're screwing in private

I wanna know who they're screwing in public"

This bitch puts children in cages. Ridicule and shame her and her family for hypocrisy all you want, it's well deserved, but the fact that this even matters is pretty wild.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 29 minutes ago

The only acceptable target for bullying is MAGA. Open season.

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 hour ago

Regardless of his actions, she still loves him as a member of her family. Just like her dog.

[–] Lawnman23@piefed.social 55 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

“The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time,” Kristi Noem’s representatives reacted in a statement to The New York Post.

Fuck that noise.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 1 hour ago

I'll pray for them, but they won't like it if my prayers are answered

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 45 points 3 hours ago

Privacy for the ghoul in charge of ripping people from their homes in the middle of the night? Fuck you.

Prayers for what? To have God help them stop being shitty and hypocritical? Fuck you again.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

No, I think I get it now. This is the excuse she will use to jettison the husband, and spend more time with her boy toy

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Is he a lumberjack? Is he OK?

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

Does he work all night and sleep all day?

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

Krusty Gnome taking L after L. You love to see it.

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 17 points 3 hours ago

Isn't she screwing someone else anyway. All these people are hypocrites. If they say they hate cross-dressing, they love it. If they say they are Christian, they're anything but. If they say they have good family values, they're having affairs. Standard.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 53 points 4 hours ago

These fucking people... It's literally all projection, always.

The party of "traditional family values," everyone. If we manage to hold anything even remotely resembling free and fair elections in the future, the first order of business afterwards will need to be replacing all upholstery any of them have touched.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 70 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

So this is the drag queen we were supposed to be worried about?

I wish my local movie theatre had this level of projection.

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 4 points 1 hour ago

It's called iMax, no?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 73 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

How was she supposed to keep track of what happens in her own home while she was jetsetting around on her fuck plane with her subordinate?

[–] homes@piefed.world 16 points 3 hours ago

Does Lewandowski really count as her subordinate if he was the one who was running the show the whole time? all she really did was get her hair done, shoot ads for her YouTube channel, and get fucked in the back of a private jet. And then later in front of Congress.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 18 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Why the fuck should we care? I think he would look awesome in a dress.

[–] HermitBee@feddit.uk 2 points 49 minutes ago

He might well do. But in the photo that's been widely published, he does not look particularly awesome - apart from anything else, he couldn't even be bothered to line up his fake nipples properly.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 19 points 2 hours ago

Because he is the spouse of a member of the party that is villifying drag and trans folks.

Kristi Noem 'blindsided' by report about her ~~cross-dressing husband~~ wife

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 7 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Lol there was black mail over this?

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 24 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I mean if the Daily Mail found it then you can be sure that foreign intelligence found it way earlier. There's a reason you're supposed to do background checks and vetting for high level government officials. Since Trump doesn't give a shit about all that I wouldn't be surprised if more of his cronies aren't actively being blackmailed.

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

Also possible that Daily Mail found it out from foreign intelligence, maybe even as a consequence of Noem losing her value as a source.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

We don't know his kinks, maybe he's into black males

[–] vegeta@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

Buttery males

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

The evidence is coming out

[–] Zier@fedia.io 1 points 2 hours ago

Oh, I see the Hypocrisy Religion is still active with new scandals.
