Party of Law and Order, everyone.
A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".
This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.
Always follow .world instance rules
Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.
Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.
Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.
Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.
No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.
Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.
A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.
For more general political memes please see !politicalmemes@lemmy.world
Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.
For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.
And above all, HAVE FUN!

Article linked in another comment said he was arrested & behind bars. Your guess as to whether they mean the pub variety.
"[...] is behind bars again, this time for allegedly sexually assaulting and molesting a child."
Right, but as always the drag queens are the dangerous ones...
Not to mention he was going to drive or had just driven while high on crack cocaine...
Zero regard for human life.
This comment made me question what crack does to your reaction times. It isn't making them hallucinate as far as I know. Alcohol and cannabis slow your reaction times, but I was curious. So I ended up stumbling on this study where John Hokins er... Drugged animals https://pure.johnshopkins.edu/en/publications/effects-of-cocaine-on-simple-reaction-times-and-sensory-threshold-3/
The curious part to me was this line from the abstract. "at higher doses, either decreases or increases in reaction times were observed, depending upon the animal. "
So apparently there are times with certain beings that may have quicker reaction times maybe. Need to figure out if I'm interested enough to read the whole study to find out what they meant.
Even if the reaction times were to increase, I doubt that there's zero impact on the ability to make safe judgement calls, practice safe driving, etc.
Oh yeah I get what you mean but maybe we shouldn't assume they were making safe judgement calls in the time leading up to smoking the crack cocaine either, haha.
There's only one thing you can use the word "always" with and it's the word "projection". They will always project. So if they're screaming about pedos, that's what they'll be.
Rob Ford smoked crack and he didn't resign like a pussy he admitted it during a press conference! He was the best mayor ever! 😡
/s
Something something Hunter Biden something massive penis something laptop crack hahahaha
oh is this the same Republican councilman also suspected of first degree child molestation?
Of course he was molesting children, but crack is illegal in USA
but crack
Lemme guess where the other "T" went...
Up your but
I'm confused. If he's diddling with kids then, obviously, he is trying to run for presidency at some point in the future. So why resign?
Is this kiddie fiddler so incompetent that he doesn't know about darvo? The "deny everything and loudly project" process? The flooding the zone with shit approach?
If so then, yeah, he'll make a great president. The best. Tremendous even ...because that's the sort of person america votes in (TWICE!!).
Resignation for Republicans isn't the end of their career, but instead a nice vacation while they while for the public's collective short attention span to do its thing. Then they come back in some other better paid position.
And even if a scandal blows up enough to kill their political career, they can still make bank by becoming a paid lobbyist or Fox News commentator.

Why would he resign? Republicans have no shame he could he just continued on like nothing happened.
No, you see, crack is a "lower class/black people drug" so that's why he had to resign. If he would've just snorted snow things would've been different. Because THAT is an "upper class white people pick-me-up", those are okay.
Crack put him to sleep? Bro is either mixing it with downers or has ADHD.
Maybe he took too much downers and though the crack would pick him back up? He might not have even smoked any before he passed out.
He’s just a hard working American and deserves some rest
What a dummy. Smoking crack isn't the way. Doesn't he know if he wants to rise through the ranks of the GOP he needs to molest some children?
...and is now the sheriff of the police department.
uhh what about the DUI and felony possession charges???
He's a GOP chairman, there won't be any felonies or DUIs

What a shithole of a country
It's so much worse than anyone outside the country realizes... But it's also better in the sense that people fighting back is never repeated in the media.
This country is deeply divided and people are protesting and resisting in every city.
I'm shocked he resigned. That's usually the first step to a cabinet gig.
Don't worry, guys...Trump will pardon him.
Really he resigned over crack? Well guess he has more time to do crack
This is from 2023. Rhode Island.

Look, we're all just humans; capable of mistakes
Not saying that politicians are humans or anything like that..
..but I digress
But who is this guy and why have I never heard of him? Seems like a convenient distraction for something.
I believe he was chair of one of the states gop and a state representative.
Who hasn't taken a little crack nap after a hard day's work? This is just a hard working American!
