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!

The data needs to be real for any required actions to take place. This is worse than treason. When will someone push this runaway train off the tracks? It's factually absurd and we need stability in the world again (or at least a reasonable facsimile of it).

R voters and sitouts: which one has a funny laugh?

...the paedophile rapist it is, then!

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Delete the evidence in the first place? O'Brien, get in here!

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 41 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Can someone please order an RFK deletion?

The time cops heard your comment and made a grave mistake...

We've got Sirhan Sirhan on the phone, let's see what Sir's thoughts are.

So, just like covid. If you don't count them, it never happened.

At least trump and his lackeys are consistent.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Sigh.

This is all so very stupid and obviously harmful, just like everything conservatives do to this country.

I just wonder where we might have been if Gore had not had his election stolen from him by conservative demons. Somehow, I don't think donnie would be in the WH.

Or if he hadn't picked Joe Lieberman to be his VP.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Lieberman didn't matter, the Brooks Brothers Riot mattered.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Covid all over again.

This is what happens when there are no consequences.

News break: Kennedy scion still utter piece of worm addled shit

[–] patruelis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Careful, worm shit is actually good.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I like to wait until they're juuust starting to dry a bit and then thhhwp just suck the goodness right out.

Edit: FERTILIZER! I totally meant for fertilizer, just like you guys! Definitely good for soil. Heh.

[–] Ertain@feddit.online 14 points 1 day ago

Keep counting them.

We know which Chaos God he's pledged too.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

RFK? I'd guess Nurgle, but with latent Tzeench worship as an occasional treat.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

RFK is solid Nurgle: Infested, swims in crap and proliferates disease wherever he looks.....

Man I know we're built to see patterns everywhere and all that but if you look at them long enough, you can see all 4 chaos gods bickering on how best to corrupt us all further.

Trump: Excess, in all the worst ways possible Hegseth: War, but not just any war, stupid war that cares not from where the blood flows The entirety of Tech: the sloppiest most messy change with too many faces and too many hands, failure is all according to plan
