Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

we need a time machine if for no other reason than to send dumbasses like that back to experience reality for themselves
Is there some sort of training which teaches you how to be a grifter?
Because this 2024 class is full of people imitating Uncle Ruckuses.
A second Black Nazi has hit the GOP.
Is this the same guy who flipped out about the word “weird” with tons of posts about trans people like a demented moron? Looks similar.
This guy has been a piece of shit his whole life.

Sure, there are no good guys in any war, since the good guys are never the ones with guns killing each other.
But the more genocidal death camps you have, the bigger a baddy you are. It's not that difficult to understand.
Inaction is as much a choice as action. When an invader comes to your town and starts killing innocents like children, and you chose to not act, you’re a little bit complicit.
Pacifists are just as unethical as the rest, because it allows, permits and other condones violence.
Wow. If you can't see which side was good in WW2, I'm seriously concerned for you.
I'm Jewish, I'm very aware that the side running brutal racist internment camps was meaningfully less bad than the side running brutal genocidal death camps. Neither qualify as good.
The Axis existed as a coalition of countries who wanted to expand their lands at the cost of their neighbor's lives.
The Allies existed purely as a defensive response to the Axis.
A person with a gun fighting to defend their families is not "just as evil" as a person with a gun invading the home of others. Before we even get into camps, unethical medical research, and genocide, you really can't "both sides" this one.
I don't think it's fair to characterize global colonialist powers like Britain, France, or the US as not violent expansionists.
Don't put words in my mouth.
I characterized the Allies actions as a defensive response. And they provably were not violently expanding during WW2. I didn't say a word about their actions and behaviors prior to WW2.
The fuck do you suggest "good people" do facing invasion? Lay down and let the Axis steal, rape, murder, and genocide their way through Europe?
Good people fight back against bad people. Saying or doing anything less is to be complicit in their actions.
Apologies.
But if being a violent expansionist makes the axis bad (which it obviously does) then the allies are clearly just less bad in this particular situation rather than actually good, since all the allied powers have extensive histories of violent expansionism.
Thank you.
I'm not saying you don't have a point, but the people are not their countries, their ancestors choices, or their governments, and vice versa. I fundamentally reject the premise of your argument.
There needs to be a word for "shocking and expected"
But we have a pretty decent education system in MN. Maybe not the best, but far from the worst.
Err, that was your side my dude, like wtf?
Oh yeah, Hitler loved mixed race citizens 😆🤣👍
This dude’s relatives would have been gassed and cremated or introduced into a life of indentured servitude had his revisionist fantasy come to fruition.
Dude thinks because his last name is “White” that he is white.
Wait so that means Jack Black isn't black? What about Lewis Black or Jack White?
Straight to jaill
Barry White, Frank Black
What about Ian Lavender?
Don't even get me started on Chubby Checker.
Darth Vader was black!
Not even worth putting the time into writing why his opinion is based on imagined idiocy and not historic fact thinking the liberals and communists were aligned after WW2 at the start of the cold war and the Warsaw pact and NATO squaring off or Patton was assassinated, just a grand display of the best and brightest moron Minnesota conservatives have to offer.
MAGA = insane idiot.
Poor guy is just a walking CTE lesion at this point. What a waste of basketball talent.
These trash humans need to crawl back in their garbage dump of a life.
