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!

Can we round up conservatives and put them in a rocket aimed at a black hole?

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Why would you do that to a black hole?

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Lemme guess, it started on Fox News?

What are they distracting from now, still the Epstein files? Trump backtracking on Portland and considering that Fox might be wrong about it? The Church shooter being MAGA? The list is too long, they need to keep pumping out the distractions.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 18 hours ago

The need to to sensationalize everything needs to stop. The only place I've seen outrage is in headlines, which dropped at the same time of the announcement. There isn't even time for genuine thought before they write the narrative.

The Fairness Doctrine needs to make a comeback.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 9 points 19 hours ago

I hope Mr. Bunny has a great security team, because those fuckers are crazy and known to shoot people they fear.

Maybe they ought to listen to some Bad Bunny before they complain. My Spanish is terrible, but I still find his songs catchy.

[–] BruisedMoose@piefed.social 10 points 21 hours ago

I am an old person and really know nothing about him, but looking at the thumbnail, I do remember enjoying his hit song "Dick in a Box."

Or you know, just die. That will work too.

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 hours ago

Preferably screaming.

I think it’s only fair to swap between a liberal and Kid Rock each year.

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

I love the imagery of empty stands because who the fuck wants to hear kid rock in 2026?

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I see Kendrick Lamar got the last helicopter out of Saigon.

It's gonna be more shit like this going forward. I don't know who in their right mind would agree to do a half-time show with the current state the country is in. It's like performing for the fuhrer in 1939.

Those dickheads really do have some fucked up priorities, don't they. The county's on the brink of full fascism, and they 'melt down' over the most inconsequential bullshit.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They have to face so many disappointments lately. Several shooters that were not queer black illegal aliens, ICE removing their cheapest ~~slaves~~ employees, and now no country singer for the halftime show.

That is more than those snowflakes can stand.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 3 points 23 hours ago

I've always found a great way to deal with disappointment is to just eat razor blades dipped medical waste until the disappointment fades away. Hopefully they can give it a shot and it works for them too.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 160 points 1 day ago (3 children)

When aren't they having a meltdown for the stupidest things?

[–] TheMadCodger@piefed.social 64 points 1 day ago (2 children)

For such a "tough guy" culture, it's amazing how they live in such constant fear of… everything.

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 hours ago

That's fascism for you: Your enemies are weak and ignorant but simultaneously powerful and cunning.

Pretty much always.

The media continually paint them as having a meltdown, but in reality it’s their state of being; the reactionary hate is where they live.

If you hear “ does and the far right say they’re OK with that….” be VERY concerned about whatever was.

Inb4 they say its unamerican to have a Puerto Rican do the super bowl halftime show, because theyre too stupid to realize that Puerto Ricans are Americans

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 88 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Guaranteed the far-right does not see them as Americans.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 69 points 1 day ago

Guaranteed the far-right doesn't see them as people.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 day ago

Our dumb fuck president didn't know he was the president of Puerto Rico last time. I think most of them don't even know it exists to have an opinion on them being American or not.

The right wing are such tender little soy boys.

[–] CoopaLoopa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

About to have a lot more soy in their diet now that they have $12 billion USD worth of soybeans that China isn't going to purchase.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 7 points 23 hours ago

Something tells me soy is about to get a real big brand facelift soon

I CANT Wait for our SMALL GOVERNMENT to Threaten the NFL if they Dont Change Artists!

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 96 points 1 day ago

It’s not the NFL’s fault country music sucks

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 4 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Never heard of this guy until he hosted SNL. He was great and has a very good sense of humour. I liked him. Then, very recently, he showed up in Happy Gilmore 2 and again, he was great! I don't listen to new music anymore so I can't comment on that (I'm old and ignorant).

[–] HuskerNation@lemmy.zip 5 points 19 hours ago

I'm 47 I'm always looking for new music I think why most people stop searching for new music is because music and memories are strongly associated with one another so if you have good memories of music you grew up with you tend not to seek out new stuff.

I'm always seeking out new punk bands or industrial metal or political metal that goes against the right wing. And I have an 11-year-old daughter so I get to hear some of the new pop and whatever else is coming out there are some gems if you look hard enough

I have no idea who bad bunny is. But I also have no idea who is in the superbowl. I just hope the commercials are good.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I think it's Football this year

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Football? That's one of the sports of all time!

And yet Spanish speaking voters are still erect for Trump.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Maybe not anymore, a few polls have shown reduced support for Trump among Hispanics, probably because his goons assume they are illegal because they're brown.

We tried to warn them....

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

Try telling that to my half Mexican brother and his Mexican wife. If anything, their positive opinion of Trump has gone through the roof. They love seeing the "pisas" get deported.

They don't seem to realize that they're next once ICE runs out of easy targets.

Right winger = perpetual meltdown

Maybe society can figure out how to harness all that perpetual negative energy to make something good. Something like churros.

They should have gotten Springstien and Trump's head would have exploded.
