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!

“She’s a witch!”

“Yeah, but she’s OUR witch.”

"MAGA Pastor" is an unholy sounding combination.

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

Sounds like a contradiction in terms to me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Sounds illegal. They're not supposed to endorse candidates while not having to pay taxes. IRS should end this church.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

So we have a choice between a president with magic powers or a president who gibbers nonsense while wearing a diaper filled with yellow hamburder shit. Not a hard decision to make, really.

Yeah that's what they say about women with knowledge.

#"Burn her!"

The biggest criminals call themselves "pastor"

She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she used Black magic until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as a Black magician.

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

In this day and age people still refuse to use the proper, respectful names...

The proper title is not Black Magician, it's Dark Magician Girl...

Did nobody watch freaking Yu Gi Oh???!!!

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

Black Magic Woman

Obviously Haitian Voodoo.

What? Trump is so weak his plans can be foiled by simple witchcraft? I thought Trump big, the best stronk? /s

Face it, dude. Trump is an easily manipulated idiot. Harris demonstrated it live on TV.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why wouldn't you deploy your own warlock instead of complaining?

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

This is clearly voodoo witchcraft, and MAGA doesn't have a lot of black women - they're all too... uppity. Klandace Owens is too busy playing Goebbels to make the pivot to office, so this is all so unfair!

...God emperor Trump - the world's greatest negotiator who will end the Ukraine and Palestine conflicts before taking office can't possibly be expected to debate a black woman - she's far too powerful.

She played him like a fiddle. She herded him from place to place like he was halfwitted livestock.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

She herded him from place to place ~~like he was~~ as the halfwitted livestock he is

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

This would be funny if it weren't incredibly sad how many supposedly grown adults still fear words like "witchcraft" and "satanic".

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

Hear me out now, what if she did?

What if Kamala's witchcraft is just being a good person?

Like, that's some amazing witchcraft.

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

What fucking year is it in these people's minds? 1600?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sadly no, there are people and even whole communities in 2024 that kill people (usually) women accused of witchcraft. On multiple fucking continents.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago
[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

I wish she was that cool

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

where can I get my pointy hat that says "witches for Kamala"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

hahah yes ! I'd buy one of these

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

As a Thelemite, I approve these tactics.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

They are really running out of real arguments.

On the other hand, this is one of the more creative explanation of Trumps utter f-up. What's next? Were the aliens providing Trump with mental energy having reactor trouble in their UFOs?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"She knew she could speak 20 lies about Trump and not be contradicted. That was the arrangement," he wrote in a second post. "And that's why I call it witchcraft, because it has the effect of planting and reinforcing thoughts in the mind of the listener that defiles perspective. This makes it easier to manipulate people."

Holy projection, Batman

It really does have "No fair! I had it first!" energy.
