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!

Why are all the photos from this event in black and white?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Color film was not as widespread and more expensive. This is not a case like the MLK photographs which were digitally altered to be black and white to make school children believe it happened a longer time ago

I was actually making a joke about conflating the two fascist rallies at Madison Square Garden, but thanks! That's an interesting point about how MLK photos have been presented. Propaganda can be very subtle.

Ah I gotcha, there’s some good color restoration film of this even if you can find it. I remember distinctly it being in a history documentary I found and then saw again on YouTube about the German American Bund.

Trump has never had a crowd that large.

I can’t believe these rubes follow Trump who is such a little whiny effeminate bitch in his girdle and heavy makeup 💄

It’s gender-affirming care.

What's that adage about nine people sitting at a table with one Nazi?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That they all go back home and do a podcast about how the left wing and Democrats are the real enemy but they're definitely not Nazis though.

Ah the Daily Wire special!

Madison Square Garden is going to stink like shit tonight.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Clearly, you’ve never had the pleasure of going there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Have you? I've been there numerous times and can't ever recall the smells to be anything worse than any other public arena

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I've been to msg hundreds of times over the past 30 years and can't remember a time that I noted it smelled bad. Like weed, definitely, but not bad.
