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!

Yeah I clearly remember Trump tweeted "Kimmel is Next" like two months ago after Colbert was cancelled.

Kimmel got cancelled for talking about the Epstein Files every night. I can’t believe every fucking idiot is parroting the party line that was was because of Kirk.

Every journalist should followup every trump answer by “Would that be confirmed once the Epstein files are released to the public? … Sir?”

The really stupid thing about the party line is the thing they are attacking Kimmel for wasn't even about Charlie Kirk. Kimmel was talking about MAGA.

An eternally correct statement

I'm still hoping we get to see him live up to his waterboarding pledge one of these days.

Hannity is lying.

Always has been

Hoped? He motherfucking CALLED for it.

[–] klugerama@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Interesting. So even Hannity is sensing that maybe this isn't a great look for MAGA, and is trying (lying) to act like it really doesn't have anything to do with them.

Unfortunately, because 99% of Hannity's audience lives in an echo chamber, they'll never know what he says is just plain lies. They'll never see Politifact, and wouldn't give a shit even if they did. It almost seems pointless to fact check these shit gibbons - their followers won't hear it, and their critics already hate them and know that they're liars.

There's a difference between being wrong and lying.
