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!

The real Christians are egotistical capitalist assholes, not the Pope. /s

Every aspect of this idiot is hideous.

MTG thinks everyone can crush a beer can on their head. Everyone that counts, that is.

There has to be others, Luigi can’t have been the only one. We. Are. Waiting….

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

why wait when you can be the change.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

Waiting for a day with pleasant weather so you can maximise the amount of time spent holding your signs in a public place.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Allegedly! The evidence is slim. It's reasonable to assume the killer is still out there...

If only it wasn't so trivial for her to trick people into giving her attention and publicity.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah stop giving fucking morons like this attention.

That's the main problem in the world right now. Smart and genuine people are completely ignored and loud morons get all the attention.

"Hmmm what should we make an article about today? This scientist that found a cure to a rare disease, this philanthropist that saved thousands?" "Nah let's write an article about this batshit insane moron that keeps screaming bigoted and racist things"

Making people angry = views/clicks Making people happy = no one cares

It’s on us for reposting and upvoting them. No engagement algorithm is egging us on here on Lemmy.

Rawstory tends to lean into this, and there’s plenty of science out there to read… But sadly rage bait works.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

It's kinda a two sided coin though. If you don't pay attention to her, she will likely get by doing even more unhinged things with fewer repercussions than she has now.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Bleach blonde bad-built butch body needs to understand everyone looks at her ratchet ass and the traitors she aligns with and hopes the evil dies soon and hard.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

I worry next pope will be a fascist. I wish this cunt and her leader would die.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Chances are she will die before I die. I'll save this quote of hers for later use.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

a broken clock is right twice a day

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

This fucking Battletoad...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 weeks ago

Antichrist laughs when Pope dies! Will you be safe from her Rapture? Tonight on Sick Sad World!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Last I checked DJT still alive and well so this doesn't check out, Marjorie.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

Also, DJT is just the tip of late-stage-capitalism's iceberg of evil so wake me up after we abolish billionaires, convert all large companies into worker co-ops, and design our cities to be walkable places connected by public transportation

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 weeks ago

I'm glad we can always rely on the MAGA sycophants to say the most deranged and antichrist things.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

depressing comment self destructed

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

What an obnoxious piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

I thought it was an onion type article from the headline. I was all "You're not going to get me this time"

Then the comments made me realise it wasn't satirical. Christ.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

My TED talk on the non-existence of god is simply me blowing a raspberry and pointing at a photo of this woman/cyst.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

It took me too long to realize you didn’t mean blowing air out of your mouth onto a raspberry.
