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!

This is the same guy that Republicans cheered because he called for the eradication of trans people.

He is a piece of shit, hence his popularity with other pieces of shit.

Ah yes. Newton's Turd Law.

Wait, if I, as a straight cis guy, find myself in the vicinity of a pride event what crime am I guilty of? In fact, what constitutes a pride event? My son is gay. Should everyone that attended his graduation be arrested? What if he had a rainbow on his hat?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Should everyone that attended his graduation be arrested?

Only if you were proud of his accomplishments.

~~Straight~~ Gay to jail.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eventually having a gay son will be a crime in his eyes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure "eventually" is right now. He believes people are gay because they're groomed to be.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There seems to be a pattern where the most outspoken anti-gay people are actually themselves in the closet. Should make a law that it's illegal to hide if you're gay, then just arrest anyone that wants to enforce it.

Show me what fascism looks like

Michael Knowles, of the conservative publication The Daily Wire

There it is.

Ok seriously, who the fuck are these chucklefucks that keep getting into the news cycle??

I keep hearing about a new “right wing pundit” every week, are they being made in a factory?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty much. If you have few to no morals and don't mind risking getting punched in the face when out in public then you could be a right wing pundit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Not gonna lie, it seems like a pretty easy racket if you have no morals.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe if these fascist ball sacks were always met with a volley of rotten vegetables every time they showed their disgusting faces they'd crawl back to the sewers where they belong.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

This one's been around a while. He's just more pathetic than some of the others.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

they're being cloned. contrary to popular belief, the bigotry is by design rather than an accidental mutation.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I wanna hit him in the face with a brick. We don't all get what we want.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It'd be a really good look for him, getting hit with a brick.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Frankly speaking I wanna do it with a sticky grenade thats been modified to just release a lot of liquid ass.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wait, hold on. I didn't realize everyone at pride events were taking their tits out and giving hand jobs. When did that happen?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Gaslight. Obstruct. Project.

The institution got blind sided by family values fondler boebert and are behind the wave on their propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

What a piece of shit

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do people listen to this cartoon rat looking motherfucker?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Don’t insult Scabby like that. Cartoon rats are way better looking than this douche canoe.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

The side of free speech strikes again

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Sucking a dick in public is far more indecent than wearing leather, feathers, rainbows and lace. What a piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The only thing they have are whataboutisms.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Why does this pervert care so much how people get off?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

would be a shame if his suit got covered in a bucket of toilet slop.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Isn't that official platform of the Republican party?
