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!

There's no "it's like". They ARE hunting.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Hunting humans for sport has been their wet dream their entire lives.

It's "The Most Dangerous Game" except it's not dangerous at all for the hunters.

Rip off their fucking masks

[–] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No need to stop there, though. By all means, rip and tear.

[–] fleem@piefed.zeromedia.vip 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

the ripping and the tearing

[–] sepi@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

The wild women

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 3 points 2 months ago

~~masks~~ heads.

[–] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

At the surprise of no one!

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Except for the minorities who voted for this guy.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They were warned. They chose not to listen.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"Poisoning the blood of the country? Surely they don't mean me."

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Their blood is only pure because their family tree has ingrown branches. Redneck fucks.

A lot of people still argue that all ICE is doing is enforcing the law. I can't tell if they're lying or stupid

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

or option 3 -> gleeful about the fascism being directed at those they think have it coming to them.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Right, that was what I meant by them lying. If they support what ICE is doing, they lie and try to convince others that it's only enforcing the law

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

And if they're happy ICE is oppressing people, then they're lying about ICE just innocently enforcing the law. I don't know why two people have told me that these people supporting ICE's mistreatment of people is a third option. That was what I was implying with the option that they're lying to defend ICE's actions

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, this is genocide. Or at least moving towards genocide

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Well, it's here at home and of course America "deserves" this genocide or whatever the fuck.

-so many so-called "leftists"

That FUCKING ASSHOLE Scott Adams died recently.

I was reading he made it to the worst predictions awards of 2021 (https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/12/24/worst-politics-predictions-2021-525853 ) - he predicted that "Republicans would be getting hunted" if Biden won the presidency.

“If Biden is elected, there’s a good chance you will be dead within the year. Republicans will be hunted. Police will stand down.”

I mean, that is just so fucking delusional. It's not that even specific, criminal Republicans were really facing any outcomes of what they did under Taco 1.0. And certainly, you talk about a case study in projection, JFC. Of course, the conservative jagoffs claimed he was right, based on J6 terrorists being found and thrown in prison, but again, these people are steeped in craziness and ridiculous grievances.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Minnesota needs some snipers. I mean, to shoot at their feet and all. Cause we wouldn’t want anyone hurt. I mean…

[–] Lawyerator@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If a storm knocks the power out, do flock cameras stop working?

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

FYI, most flock cameras are not very high up.

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 3 points 2 months ago

Their orders are to terrorize. Rape, kill, maim… whatever the need to do to send the message:

YOU’RE NOT WANTED HERE

to any and all immigrants legal or otherwise. This is thing other than a campaign to run ALL non-whites out of America so that America resembles trump’s golf resort.

The violence is 100% intentional and is guaranteed to escalate. There will be no going back from this. They have to pus us until we fight back. When that time comes, be ready and make it count.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yall. We are going to be paying out civil lawsuits forever.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

We haven't even paid out the slave reparations yet.
