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!

Traditional family advocates are cheating in their spouses.

Anti-gay politicians have Grindr on their phone.

Pro-gun activists won't allow arms at their speaking events.

Anti-immigrant farmers hire cheap labour to pick their crops.

People who shout "protect the children", have the entire Library of Alexandria worth of child porn.

The people complaining about the country's budget deficit, hide all their money in Caymanian bank accounts.

Officials who say they want to "protect womens'' sports", caught being a creep to schoolgirls.

And xenophobes have four grandparents who were born outside the country.

What was that phrase again? Oh, right.

Every accusation is an admission.

It's hypocrisy. When the morality and logic behind your ideas is inherently flawed then hypocrisy is fair play and sometimes even a necessity for survival.

You also forgot the Xenophobes have Filipino wives and mixed grandchildren.

Well let's just look at the Dorito Mussolin....

  • Panders to and pushes christian values but...

    • Several divorces, cheated on all his wives with other women, including infidelity on his "current" wife with a porn star

    • Half a dozen kids across several mothers

    • Sells bibles with his branding on them

    • Totally cool with cold idol statues of himself

    • Wouldn't even swear in while touching a Bible

  • Pushed hard that drag queens were "groomers" and "pedos", despite mountains of irritable evidence he was raping kids, via parents and especially Epstein.

I'm almost sure that if that man actually touched the Bible, he'd burn his hand.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

It might explain his hand.
