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!

Made me pretty horny too, to be fair.

In other words, the death of another man gave him a raging boner. Why am I not surprised?

[–] MrVilliam@sh.itjust.works 49 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Charlie's death gave him a boner, but knowing that Erika is single now made him cum. Usha just happened to be there.

What if its all just a show and Usha is wearing a pillow while Erika is the one thats pregnant ...?

[–] Toto@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Not just couches anymore?

[–] meme_historian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 7 hours ago

Was it the gushing neck wound that turned you on Mr. Couch Fucker?

[–] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 hours ago

She sat on the couch and one snaked up inside her.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

Okay? I guess that death gives these two the hornies? Good for them? Don't really need to know about their kinks.

This is fucking creepy no matter what.

If it's true, it's creepy.

I don't think it's true though, which in a way is even creepier.

The basic problem here is that this whole western fascist, white-supremacist technofeudalism thing is entirely divorced from reality. There's no logic, no morality, no philosophy - nothing but emotive gibberish slaved to the shallow self-interest of lunatics. So they just spew whatever lunatic garbage they spew, because their brains are broken and they can't do anything else, and their followers just sop it up, because their brains are also broken and they can't do anything else either.

There's much to criticize about past ideologies and religions (which IMO are just two variations on the same basic theme). They did a lot of harm and included a lot of stupidity and lunacy, but at least they made an effort to have some sort of moral and/or logical underpinnings - to have something solid around which they were built.

This one though? There's nothing at all there. There's no central philosophy - no underlying morality - nothing. There's just gibberish and poison and junk and sludge. And the broken-brained assholes spewing it and the broken-brained assholes sopping it up.

And the rest of us, unable to even wrap our heads around the sheer scale of the lunacy, scrolling day after day in a constant state of "What the fucking fuck?!"

We all know it’s to try to hide his couch fetish tho

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 42 points 13 hours ago

I'm really getting sick and tired of public figures shoving their gender ideology and sexually down my throat. Congratulations, but you don't need to go around bragging in front of children about how you cum inside your wife. It's disgusting, get help.

Israel killing kirk and blaming some poor schmuck of an impossible story really got vance off.

Now the fbi is unsealing evidence, they said they had a confession, but they lost it, but they still want to use it. They also lost all the footage from when Kirk turned himself in to the police.

To those not following or trusting the FBI (ha,) kirk wasn't struck with a 30 ought six, but a much less powerful weapon, the accused did not have a rifle on him fleeing the roof, did not dissassmble the rifle in 1 minute, didn't have the rifle on his way to the roof from the photos, then did not go to a nearby chicken shack,reassamble the rifle, then flee.

The dogs missed the rifle when the sheriff sweeped it with trained dogs, then an FBI "found" it right off when they got there.

The story stinks and anyone that takes the FBI at their word on this, is the reason we are in this place in this country, because you will believe anything from the worst people in the world if they are dressed in a suit on tv.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

Somehow I highly doubt Kirk had any significant impact on his life or decisions in any way whatsoever. Republican politicians and especially MAGA politicians never really cared about Kirk, they just liked that he would help them convert young people. That's how they all think. They don't give a shit about each other and only see eachother as a means to elevate themselves even after they are dead. Just like none of them even give a shit about Trump and are only using him to push their own individual goals. It's why they flip flopped so hard even as "never Trumpers." They are all selfish and in it for themselves, it just so happens all their goals align at present.

…which makes no sense

[–] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago

Bets are out if he taped a picture of Erica or a LaZBoy to Ushas back

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

Vance's entire output is bullshit wrapped in bullshit. Idk why anyone even cares what he has to say about anything since he applied the latest layer obfuscating his views on his "Nazi" boss in his own words.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Charlie Kirk was killed Wed, Sep 10, 2025.

Baby is due in late July, 2026.

40 weeks from Sep. 10th is June 17th.

So he's lying by a full month.

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

The 40 weeks thing is from your last period, not conception, so by that logic you'd want the due date to be June 3rd anyway. But a traumatic event can change your family planning after any amount of time. And it's moot anyway cause Vance is a liar

[–] queueBenSis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 12 hours ago

it’s not far fetched to think he thought about for a month before climaxing

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

So maybe they were trying? You can't just will a pregnancy into existence. Like I get it, fuck Vance, but this is just weak
