What constitution?

Nothing Happened on Lafayette Square, 2025.

::: spoiler


And if it did, it was violent CRIMINAL ALIENS RIOTERS organized by HUNTER BIDEN'S LAPTOP! Our AMERICAN MADE TANKS restored LAWww and Ordar. TREMENDUS, TREMENDUS show of strength...

contexttrump once said: "When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak."

They're just signaling their virtue. The Republican way.

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 182 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The change was spotted by users on Lemmy, an open-source aggregation platform and forum.

Way to go everyone! We got noticed! And for something good this time!

This is not good news imo. The last thing Lemmy needs rn is the attention of the US government.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm sure we'll ruin it soon enough.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I mean there is a very real chance one of the first things people see when they check out this website is a giant throbbing furcock.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

And that's why we stayed

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 13 points 1 day ago

Why would that be a bad thing?

I am not into that stuff, but I don't give a shit if someone else is. That is the difference between being a good member of a community and being an overbearing asshole.

We don't need or want more overbearing assholes.

So ... my furry friends, feel free to keep up the good fuckin work.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Am I in the wrong instance? Because I'm actually having a hard time finding the porn on here. It didn't show up when I was on Lemm.ee and it isn't showing up now.

Kinda miss my lewd niche subreddits.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

I just go by all from .world and I had to block lots of furry stuff. There is still lots of gonewild type subs that pass my feed and occasionally more niche ones.

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are definitely some porn instances. It's possible you just have NSFW content turned off without realizing it though. I had to block several instances and communities to get all the porn off of my non-porn account.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago

Nope, show NSFW content is checked so that's not it

[–] sylvieslayer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

OK but big same

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah...

The thing about Lemmy is that it's not yet large and active enough for me to have a curated community list like I did on reddit, so I end up seeing all kinds of stuff I would not have subbed to.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Naw fam. As long as Spez doesn't cause a mass exodus and only does shadow bans, we're good.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We need a general strike. No one should work for these fucking clowns.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

We need a general strike

We need a tactical strike.

What are yall gonna do about it, wave more signs? Or are we finally gonna start the fucking boogaloo

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 16 hours ago

Everyone in every "free" nation across the globe has to act with the crap creeping into every single one of them. Ideally something civil and simple like just doing nothing and shutting all shit down.

This Constitution web site thing is just an attempt to "squirrel" people off Epstein.

I'd hope the majority are planning and prepping with necessary supplies, medications and such. At this point, just need whatever that tipping point/powder keg is. Probably best when the summer heat starts dropping off. It is downright deadly out there this summer in much of the US and/or world, and there will be (at least in the US) no social assistance, it will all be community-driven.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

We're just gonna wave more signs. The US is done.

"Doing Something Actually Useful" and "What Passes For A Left In America" is not what I'd call an iconic duo

We'll get more signs, and the few television programs that still allow criticisms of Trump will make the same few tired jokes about him.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Its 'cause the constitution is WOKE!

We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.

either someone over engineered the page in such a brittle way that it would make AI agents proud, or this is a lie.

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 32 points 1 day ago

It is a lie.

The Library of Congress is literally lying to the American people.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Trump has the "original" in the oval office with him. I put that in quotes because it seems quite likely he'll try to steal or destroy it in the next three and a half years.

There's probably Saudis and other interested parties that would pay top dollar for it, so why not.

Edit: wait, actually I think it's the declaration of independence in the oval office.

Ah, the tearing up of the constitution has begun, as predicted.

First it will be excuses of bugs and a lapse in judgement.
Next it will be said to be done to clean up wording to make things readable. Finally a blatant reasoning is given that those passages are outdated and not deemed required for a modern American population. The new constitution will be a far more efficient document is what they'll say.

From another comment...


"My sight is failing," [Clover] said finally. "Even when I was young I could not have read what was written there. But it appears to me that that wall looks different. Are the Seven Commandments the same as they used to be, Benjamin?"

For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran:

ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS

And they are explaining it as bad coding 🤣🤣 dumb fucks

[–] BruisedMoose@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago

It's all very technical. You wouldn't understand.

[–] Donebrach@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

doesn’t mean its not still part of the legal document that is the United States Constitution.

lazy ass newly minted Lawers better take note and not just reference the fucking website or (honestly lets face if they’re gonna do it) google AI summaries. everyone don’t hire a lawyer younger than 30 or older than 40 if you can help it.
