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!

🤨 Just like her husband was doing?

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's like a thermostat, the left is going around naked biking because it's too hot, and the right is in their parka just realizing it's a bit warm for them, too.

They don't want the temperature to be cool, just cool enough that their side is comfortable again.

They want to say and do anything they want.

It's human variation, some people will keep taking until there are consequences. As soon as there is consequences, they want to take a step back to where there was no consequences. But they'll always take another step forward eventually.

We can't tolerate the intolerant, because they'll always see being tolerated as an attack and persecution, they won't be happy till everyone agrees with them, and by then they'll be more extreme than anyone else and the cycle keeps moving.

True. We can't let them just dance over the line, that wears away the line

If they cross the line at all, they've broken the social contract. They are no longer protected by it, no longer entitled to tolerance or respect. They don't deserve to go about their lives unmolested or get invited to family dinner

It's like, basic civilization type shit. The problem is we've confused what is legal with what is acceptable as a society

We don't listen to Nazis who demand the elimination of our families and friends. Is that too "hot" for you Erika? Here's the secret: when you act like a Nazi you get treated as one.

My family and friends didn't demand your elimination, only their right to be be who they are and you turned around trying to destroy them. We're just matching your vibe.

Fuck off back into Vance's couch you opportunistic bitch.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago

Go fuck yourself. It's all your side that has been turning it up for decade upon decade.

Weiss reiterated a question to [Erika] Kirk about whether political leaders are responsible for turning “the temperature down right now.”

“Well, I think everyone has a responsibility to do that and I’m doing my part,” [Erika] Kirk answered.

See, I'd have an easier time believing that if she hadn't vowed to continue Charlie Kirk's "legacy" and said:

“If you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea,” she continued. “You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world. You have no idea. You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.” source

Sorry. We don't negotiate with terrorists.

[–] etherphon@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

Says the woman who's husband made a job of arguing with people. Fully agree but, look in the mirror. Democrats have tried for YEEEEEEAAAAARS to work with the GOP only to continually be taken advantage of, look where it's got us. We gave you literally everything and you still want more, terrible people.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 18 points 3 weeks ago

Attacking basic rights, stealing everything that isn't nailed down, and having masked, armed goons running amok in the cities is all just fine by them, but if anyone fights back, it's raising the political temperature.

She could help by leaving the political scene and never returning.

“Opportunist Nazi Makes Unintelligible Mouth Noises”

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

having her husband killed was her best career move ever

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

then she had herself upholstered in leather for JD

[–] acme401@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Fuck you, Nazi.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Fuck that troll cunt. She deserves a neck piercing so she can match her shitbag husband

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago

CBS is the new Trump propaganda channel.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

We get to say whatever we want because freeze PEACH. Y'all just shut up and take it.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

What do Charlie and a hookah have in common? Holes in both ends.
