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!

Daniel Tocci's attorney had previously argued that the case should be dismissed because “all the evidence" stemmed from his Capitol siege case.

Conservatives, you have a pedophile problem.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Or is it that the paedos have a conservative problem?

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

When the two main beleifs of conservatism are:

  1. I get to do what I want.
  2. You don't get to know what I'm doing.

Pretty obvious fit for criminals and degenerates all round.

3 . I deserve to know what you’re doing, though… even though I already know what people like you do anyway. I just need to prove it.

[–] IratePirate@feddit.org 1 points 6 hours ago

I just need to prove it.

Oh, no. You forgot the MAGA ~~upgrade~~ downgrade to conservatism: "Feelings trump facts. I get to claim and believe the most baseless, ludicrous shit out there without any expectation of proof or even consistency with my other baseless claims and beliefs."

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

True enough!

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 8 points 13 hours ago

And a nazi and cultist problem.

Oh come on, cut him some slack: he was trying so hard to emulate his orange hero!

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago

Give him a few years to overturn this obvious fake news witchhunt and he'll run for president.

[–] Dionysus@leminal.space 8 points 17 hours ago

Now we know who'll replace Hegseth.

This guy has the spect character for the Mustard Mussolini

[–] homes@piefed.world 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I’m curious as to what is considered “enormous” in this context…

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It's the first sentence of the article.

been sentenced for possessing more than 100,000 child sexual abuse images and videos

[–] homes@piefed.world 5 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Thank you for being curious enough to click the link. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Wow so he already had the collection before being investigated for January 6th and didn't immediately destroy it all when the inital January 6th investigations and arrests started happening? How stupid is he? Nevermind.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

That comedian should probably change his schtick from "...you might be a redneck!" to "...you might be a Republican!"

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 0 points 15 hours ago

JFC. A pornography collection of enormous children. What a suck fuck.
