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!

At what point would the non-violence crowd argue it was the right time to violently fight back against the nazis during the holocausts?

don't worry, they are manufacturing consent to attack Iran. so the non violent people will come out in support of another middle East war

When the Japanese bombed Perl harbor.

I was referring to the people being holocausted, but we’ve done multiple Pearl Harbors, it might be time for international intervention.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

That’s the point. There was no moment of clarity for pacifists during the holocaust. It took entirely unrelated events to get the US involved.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

These days it would have to be Rust harbor

This does of course imply the protests are working.

I'm sure he's still helplessly whimpering at night in bed, following caps-lock reality-divorced social posts, over his birthday parade failure as a result of No Kings and the 30,000-pound non-penetrating ordnance adventure in Iran.

Therefore, I think we should continue to protest.

There appear to be activities scheduled for July 4 and July 17: https://www.fiftyfifty.one/

Oh look, more first amendment violations.

look at you silly.

referring to the constitution

currently, the rules of quidditch have a much value in US law as the constitution

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

All over the place. Trump acts as if the Constitution has been made irrelevant.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

It has, and the SCOTUS ruling this week that courts have no authority to enforce it confirms what the entire planet already knew.

[–] BadlyTimedLuck@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At this point, it's more like a checklist to see how many amendments he can break.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

He's already broken the 10 Commandments, the Constitution is peanuts

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 56 points 1 day ago (2 children)

with a syphillitic cactus

[–] Onyxonblack@lemmy.zip 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sideways with a broken broomstick, twice daily and three times on Tuesdays.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can it be all splintery? And maybe with some black mold or something? Idk

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Beautiful! I'm laughing. The use of question marks and the "Idk" at the end is killing me. Thanks for the Sunday morning laugh!

Well, it's funny, because that's not how non-profit organizations work...you fucking idiots.
