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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Looks like cancer is having a field day with the fascists.

Karma is a bitch...

Cancer can eat some fascists, as a treat

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 3 months ago

I was surprised cancer can get cancer.

Trump administration cut NIH cancer research funding announcements from 756 a year to 14 by end of 2025. Sweeping NIH grant terminations halted 383 clinical trials, which included at least 118 cancer-related clinical trials.

So rot to death Republicans.

Whoa, Suzie Wiles too? That's why she's been rethinking her life choices. Heaven or hell awaits in her mind. Guess what Suzie, you fucking knew.

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles diagnosed with ‘early stage breast cancer’

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 9 points 3 months ago

Heaven or hell awaits in her mind

That's not a choice she has anymore. She doesn't have enough life left in her to atone for all she's done.

[–] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What a wretched excuse for a human.

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I hate cancer more than fascists (probably because it killed more of my family than fascists [so far, could change in the future]). However, my cynical brain wants to suggest to them to let RFK treat them.

I'm a three-time cancer survivor and I still hate the fascists more, because they killed a good half of my family, and a lot of those who survived told us kid what they endured.

I'm a gentle human being, but I could kill fascists with my bare hands. I have an intense, burning hatred of fascism.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Gosh, can you imagine dying of cancer after spending the last few good years of your life protecting a literal paedophile monster and taking the fall for him.

A monster that gives no fucks about you.

Nobody is going to give a fuck about her. Not even his base. Especially not his base.

What a sad, miserable life.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Don't. Like seeks like. Those two deserve each other.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

I don't really believe it but more importantly I do not care... she can spend her last few days on Earth testifying and/or in jail

This is, most likely IMO, some bs made up so she can weasel out of accountability

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Man would suck to be in jail and have cancer.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

you'll get better care than outside jail, and free.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was going to vociferously disagree but I realized I was thinking about innocent brown children in ICE detention, not the kind of clubhouse that pasty lizard woman would be in.

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

I recant my statement.

Man it would suck to have cancer and be thrown in an ICE facility or CIA-style hole being detained without food or water.

[–] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Absolutely zero reason to believe serial liars

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We need individual verification of said cancer ... Can't trust MAGA at all. This may be "stolen affliction" like Corporal Bonespurs over there.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 2 points 3 months ago

Good point.

[–] shirasho@feddit.online 6 points 3 months ago

When you are living, breathing cancer you should not be surprised when you have literal cancer start growing.

[–] ButtermilkBiscuit@feddit.nl 6 points 3 months ago

Cancer seems too good for someone who's entire career was based on protecting pedophiles. Maybe nature can achieve some level or justice for her victims.

[–] Doug@piefed.social 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Doesn’t alcohol consumption have a direct link to heart disease and cancer? If so, it’s the only modicum of hope I have whenever I see them drinking as much as they do.

Then again there was George Burns, who proved you can still win the gamble ‘till you’re 100+

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

George Burns had joy in his life though. That’s one difference, anyway.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

Also brought some joy to others unlike them.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago
[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm troubled by the joy I'm feeling. Never thought I'd be on cancer's side.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

I used to speak fluent German as a child and would you believe it, forgot the entire language after. I keep thinking one day I'll remember just like one day I forgot.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 3 months ago

We should ask her about the Dow.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 3 months ago

Quick, find out what hospital she's going to so we can all go there to point and laugh.

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

If there's justice, she'll also prolapse.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -5 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Thyroid cancer probably explains how she's been acting...

It can cause wild mood swings, aggression, and loss of critical thinking.

The thyroid is very important, and when it starts fucking up it can really change someone, and very rarely for the better. I wonder how long hers has been fucked

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Naah, she's a piece of shit. Plus she's fighting cancer, she's not dead:

But what about the dow?

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Some people are just evil dude, without a tumor forcing them to be. She's had decades of well documented evil of her own free will.

[–] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Wrong, Nazis deserve no sympathy, no matter what the sympathetic tankie cause

[–] AngryRedHerring@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

She's been evil for decades. If anything, the thyroid cancer only made her worse.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago

Incapable of hiding it...

Didn't think it needed to be said, thought implying was enough.

The evil people who do the most damage hid their evil.

It can cause wild mood swings, aggression, and loss of critical thinking

That doesn't make someone evil, it makes someone incapable of holding a mask of civility up and the evil shows thru
