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!

They're "investigating" every public official who gets in the way of their Nazi activities. This is what Nazis do. They won't stop until they're stopped.

Remember when CBS was just boring and not anti-American?

Tyranny is fragile, and the younger folks participating in this fascy shit will find out one day

When good people are enemies of the state, it says a lot.

The worst epithet they can think of is that someone is anti-fascist.

MAGA people were mad that Superman stands for kindness. How can anyone think kindness is bad?

When I explain what the "evil" alignment in Dungeons and Dragons means, this is the example I'm gonna use from now on

Why didn't people believe us when we said America would become like Nazi Germany?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lots of people were saying Project 2025 was a "conspiracy theory" and would not even look at the PDF.

Donvict, who was lying his fat ass off, said he didn't even know what it was.

And people thought Donvict was just going to give them cheap eggs.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

As someone who has never liked eggs, I'm baffled the eggs were such a big deal. Just stop buying them. There are loads of good meals you can make without them.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The point is that eggs are usually one of the cheapest options for the nutritional value.

If you skip them because they are too expensive, then you are probably not getting good nutrition.

If you are eating other options that are more expensive, well then sure the cost doesn't matter as much.

But with bird flu being a thing the egg prices are going to be volatile, and generally nothing to do with the presidential administration one way or the other. Need a "basket of goods" to get a more useful picture.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I'm a vegetarian that's not quite vegan, but I eat eggs very sparingly.

And that was the case when I was an omnivore as well.

Probably because the federal government of the US is just a bunch of nazi's

[–] Lon3star@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

SeeBS news you say

I'm sure Walz and Frey are laughing about this joke of an investigation

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

They're doing this because success would set up factual predicates to support invoking the Insurrection Act. The Insurrection Act is invokable when state governments are actively disobeying federal law.

They're not invoking the Insurrection Act right at this moment, because with the facts they have right now, they're not confident they'll win the case in court. (And they may also lose a voting majority in Congress on the matter.)
