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!

Seems to me that if you can discriminate on gender identity and sexual orientation, you should be able to discriminate on any basis at all. Maybe next time this asshole goes out to dinner, he should be served like the little bitch he is. Bring his food and drink in pet bowls and remove his silverware.

He's not a judge - he's a right wing mouthpiece playing to goddists. What a piece of shit.

Why can’t people be punished for being anti-lgbt? There is no non-religious reason to belive so and religion is an invalid reason. Because these people deserve punishment.

LGBTQ should just start their own religion, with blackjack and hookers!

Fr tho lol

The non-religious reasons aren't discussed as often in the US but they do exist. As a great example, look at the USSR. Very not-religious and very, very against homosexuality.

About damn time! These fucking leftists were so mean to me by imposing onto me that I can't harrass people based on their sexuality! Like... what kind of world are we leaving our children if they can't even discriminate others peacefully?

Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk must have a lot of cases to handle since seemingly every far right case is filed in his court. We’re going to have so many judicial reforms to enact to bring back even the semblance of rule of law but add venue shopping to the list.

You have to wonder what this guy gets up to in private. Has anyone checked Grindr in his area?

it's amazing to me how many people take pride in bigotry

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I really dont get how you could be anything less than humiliated to take pride in, and belittle others, over something you have absolutely no part in.

While this 2008 bit is about Nationalism, the point is the same.

Federal Judge in Texas? Dont even need to open the article to know that has to be that fucker in Amarillo.

Damn it I hate this timeline

It will eventually lead to the end of American based hegemony. It is going to take about a decade and a lot of suffering of the American people.

But on the flip side China will have more room to grow wheat.

[–] [email protected] 118 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

Yup. For those who are not aware, they structured that district specifically so that all lawsuits filed in certain zip codes in Amarillo go to this guy. So any time they need a convenient MAGA cout ruling, they find someone in Amarillo to file the lawsuit over it.

So any time they need a convenient MAGA cout ruling,

I read this as MAGA cunt ruling

All people are created equal (terms and conditions apply)

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

All people are created equal.

Equality subject to change without notice.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

All people are created equal, but some are more equal than others.
