Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
This is what America voted for, because that scary brown lady was just too ARROGANT.
Wait until there's no more naked people on the teeveez, and only three-two beer at your local store. The average American commuter will blame Democrats.

It's fair, but lets not forget the tom foolery that happened with Biden after the first debate. Add to that the religious zeal tRump's base puts out for him.
Biden should have stepped aside after 1 term like he promised (he really seemed decrepit) and let Harris hit the ground with good running space to seperate herself from Biden while also being able to patch up after a performance like she put on in the second debate.
There's no hate as intense as christian love.
the DOJ doesnt represent the Catholic Church
So the pedophiles running America that are using Catholics as a cover are not associated with the Catholic Church which has a multi-century history of priests, bishops, and popes sticking their dicks into children... hmm... I don't quite believe you.
The people that know this already know it and the people that don't do not give a single fuck.
Hate v. Hate classic America
its not the job of the government to obey Christian values. its the job of the government to protect its people, and if those people are gay, the government is OBLIGATED to make their life better like any other citizen.
In a class-based system like capitalism, the state (cops, courts, military, ICE, etc.) exists to maintain the rule of one class over another, in this case the capitalist class. American neo-liberalism has served the capitalists’ interests well for the last few decades, but it is no longer. They need to tighten their grip because they are losing ground economically (to China, specifically).
This is when you see every effort to divide and repress the working masses. Minoritized people and leftists are the first to be repressed. This is a cycle that keeps repeating in every capitalist crisis.
It is in the interests of the whole working class - internationally - to stand up against this repression and to defend people on the receiving end of US Imperialist aggression, whether this be workers, minorities, and/or countries (Iran, Cuba, etc.).
Christians are assholes and morons
th DOJ is not the catholic church
All religions are backwards and brain rot.
The "best" religious people are those that follow as little of the made up bullshit as possible.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"
It's right there in the first line of the Bill of Rights.
In case you haven't noticed already, the American government is run by a bunch of fascist that don't care about the rules (they only pretend to when it's convenient).

the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion - John Adams

Todd Flinstone, Fred's uglier and stupider brother.
Debts higher than the GDP, better worry about how many genders there are. Conservative be dumb as rocks
They don't care about the debt. Unless Democrats are in power. Then they pretend it matters.

Does anyone remember the New Testament verse where Jesus tells the gay people to all fuck off and that his followers should persecute them? All I remember is him clearly saying to 'love thy neighbors' a lot - pretty gay tbh.
I did read the bible many decades ago, can't remember any such verses - will admit it was a total snooze fest though, so I might've missed it or forgotten.
