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!

Uh-huh. So it "would have burned to the ground" with fewer than a dozen LEO injuries in the LA protests, even by the most conservative estimates (source)? What does that make January 6th then, with over 140 LEO injuries (source)?

Keep these numbers handy.

She said that? Which costume was she wearing today?

Delusional.

But that's the fascist playbook. Just keep asserting absolutely delusional things and flood the zone with bullshit (as Bannon puts it).

My aunt says if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 5 points 1 day ago

The lies are audacious though. Most people know this is a lie but there's no consequences so it is then taken as a display of power. The word I use for this is mendacity.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I was gonna say this

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 41 points 1 day ago

Sure... Whatever you say, puppy killer.

lol ok so I hadn’t heard that one before and I am kinda morbidly curious

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Just had a good ring to it.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Gotcha - I thought you knew something I didn’t . Honestly it’s tough to tell with these conservative shitgoblins, because I really wouldn’t put anything past them.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 88 points 1 day ago (1 children)

She also murdered a dog and serves a pedophile

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A lot of people stayed home because the Democratic Party didn't offer them a pretty, pretty pony.

And now...the dog and goat killer gets to put up weird videos of HER pony in Argentina...all on the taxpayer dime, I assume.

So much winning.

Noooooooo Harris was all about the geeenosiiiiiiide! She let a war crimer endorse her! We had to allow the worst possible administration to shred the government and run amuck on the world stage pocketing billions! Why the climate alone will be ruined for generations because we had to teach those bourgeoise Demmicrat libs a lesson!! Plus our fundamental moral tegridy is pure AF.

I even heard Corey Booker likes The Jews!

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Plus our fundamental moral tegridy is pure AF.

LOL, "moral tegridy". I'm stealing that one if you don't mind. :)

[–] nymnympseudonym@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Just think, she could have been a perfectly respectable OnlyFans model

Instead she she will be in the dustbin next to Goebbels

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You haven't seen her hands then.

They don’t . . . There’s no such thing as a “handlift”.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

What's wrong with her hands?

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

We could have had way hotter

[–] Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago

She should get the same treatment she gives dogs. Nothing she says has value.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Pretty sure he just fucked things up worse for them. They had the fires handled by the time he ordered they waste all their water.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 22 hours ago

She's talking about riots, not wildfires.

So, an even bigger lie.

[–] blackbearjesus27@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

While I agree with you as a LA resident, that’s not the fire she’s talking about. This is in regards to the anti-ICE protests.

Which is still bullshit btw. I can’t find the image but the protests were literally in just a few blocks for the majority of the time, spreading to a few other separate and isolated protests. It was insanely overblown and the national guard did essentially nothing but parade through a few areas for photo ops. Fucking waste of time and money but of course you know the cuts don’t impact that.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They could have used that huuuge secret tap he keeps going on about.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Also, Taco seems to think California borders Canada?

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 22 hours ago

You took a wrong turn at "Trump seems to think."

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago

I often forget that Washington and Oregon exist, too.

The world, no the entire universe would have ended had the tangerine tyrant toddler not been made king.

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

If she keeps arresting firefighters I’m sure she can get there

[–] griff@lemmings.world 6 points 1 day ago

Leave all our friends & neighbors alone!

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

Big talk from someone whose “hair” is ludicrously flammable.
