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!

Bro how much did Desantis pay to get this angle on the header?

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 14 points 22 hours ago

Trump is a big man baby with mayonnaise for a brain.

But most of civilized society already knows this.

Can we just reload to a better save point?

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Nah. We’re a fascist nazi regime now.

If that were possible, I'll like to go back a year and get a do-over on Butler, PA.

The US needs school shootings in order to defend democracy

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 1 points 4 hours ago

The Bible accuses Canaanites of child sacrifice and that led to their judgement and destruction. And these fools think God is going to bless us for letting our children get murdered (and don't even get my started on our hand in the death of Palestinian children).

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Now with his own GeStaPo with a budget bigger than most of the worlds militaries, he can finally eradicate any opposition with ease. Well done, American voters, you got yourself a Führer.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't owrry, he'll file a spurious lawsuit against them soon, which they will immediately settle, in a totally-not-legalized-bribe means of smoothing over the upset.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's worked for ABC and CBS, why not CNN? Just threaten to pull their broadcast licenses, and accept a settlement bribe.

I suspect CNN won't be the last.

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Fortunately CNN isn't broadcast (the C is "cable"). But they'll still probably cave.

Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes. And do not count on a blanket pardon saving you. Crimes against humanity are violations of international law that cannot be pardoned.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Let's get that list out in the open for all to see.

I can't believe I'm living though my country's Nazi era. History will not be kind to us. I hate all of this. My sister voted for this and I'll never forgive her.

I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago (8 children)

My entire damned family voted for it... even my closest sibling who had never voted republican in her life... that other side indoctrinated hard... I'm so disgusted, and she even said "I'm so sad ice picked up one of my favorite co-workers!" "And you voted for that" apparently wasn't the comfort she was seeking.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Even if we can finally purge MAGA from our government, and even have it declared a terrorist/hate organization, how do we deal with millions of brainwashed idiots? They aren't going to change their minds easily, and accept that they were conned.

They were conned once, they can be easily conned again.

Restore quality education to prevent future generations from falling into the same traps of flawed logic and propaganda.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

if only there were some prior precedent of a nation state going mad and hitting rock bottom in the most catastrophic way imaginable, then pulling its head out of its arse and going to become a productive member of the world economy we could look to. That would be most excellent, ja?

[–] vala@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Germany is basically full circle back into right wing bs now.
