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!

The distinction here is hardly relevant.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It is relevant to history. You can either tell the Trump story that a bullet hit his ear, or you can say that he caught shrapnel.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The only way that would be relevant would be if there was a determination that the shooter was trying to do some kind of ad hoc false flag thing, as opposed to writing his own name into history. Everything we know at this point indicates that the latter is true, and the former is not.

Whether Trump's injury was the result of a fired projectile or a piece of shrapnel, the injury was caused by an assassination attempt.

Reddit 2.0… make fun of Biden… BANNED for LIFE!

By the way, did you know the modlog is public at Lemmy? So when you say things like I was just expressing my opinion and they banned me for being conservative, people can look that up.

What does that mean? I'm talking about how easily people can express their hatred towards Republicans/Trump on sites like Lemmy and Reddit... but, they are NOT allowed to express those same feelings towards Biden and Democrats..

Oh look, another conservative to never shut up on social media about how they can't say anything on social media, while somehow managing to be the biggest asshole in the room everywhere they go.

You weren't missed by anyone before showing up here, just FYI.

[–] ZK686@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

God forbid Lemmy have more than one opinion right?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Actually Biden is okay to make fun of, it’s Harris who you get banned for life now.

Try to keep up.

Take my upvote...

I like presidential candidates that don't have 34 felony convictions. I also prefer them to not be convicted rapists. And if they could not sell our nuclear secrets to Russia and China, that'd be swell too.
