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!

Xtend

Sounds more like a company that makes dick pills

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Murder does get their dicks hard so...

[–] aeration1217@lemmy.org 3 points 17 hours ago

now that's a metric

How are they such pieces of complete shit?

Is their only goal in life to accrue money and hurt others?

I really cannot comprehend these fucking psychopathic cocksuckers

Yes

Did you just learn about capitalist military complex? US has been doing it for almost a century. Russia/Israel is trying it on right now.

It's all they know.

They're rewarded for fucking others over so that's what they keep doing.

We need a society that holds people accountable for how they get their money and what they do with it in order for things to change. I won't hold my breath.

[–] Kronusdark@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

It’s so cliche. 90’s cartoon villains are more subtle than the Trump family.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How are they such pieces of complete shit?

Years of practice, and the perfect role model.

[–] chahn.chris@piefed.social 2 points 14 hours ago

It’s also on their genetics.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Also, they probably did not have enough bullying.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

I wouldn't worry too much. The actual chance of this company producing some sort of tangible product is basically zero.

It sure is going to get a lot of government "contracts" though.

[–] FancyLad@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Affluenza is apparently a real thing. They might as well be a separate species from us now: Homo Avaritia

[–] alonsohmtz@feddit.uk 1 points 20 hours ago

Yes. We need to remember that living like the rest of us is a fate worse than death to these creatures.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

how much would you pay to kill a person. one hundred? two hundred dollars? Would you believe just three easy payment of $29.95 over 3 months. Thats right. You could kill. Your very own victim. For less than one dollar a day.....

[–] IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet@reddthat.com 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Idk I haven't done my taxes yet.

...but everyday I think and wonder about how many people I've paid to kill through tax. Maybe if more people did this america wouldn't be a diseased putrid rotting mindless arrogant privileged cunt of a culture.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd love to see any of these shitstains have to work real jobs for a living.

I saw those two useless brats recently whining about how they were the "most cancelled" or whatever the fuck. Because of their hateful and criminal affiliations, FFS.

If there was any decency in the world, all of their assets would be seized and these useless douchebags would be thrown in prison for several years at least. Let them come out and try to earn an honest living with a record.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And yet they're nowhere near 'cancelled' enough.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

IKR? I only wish there was even 10% of the "cancel culture" the insane right wing claims is aimed at them.

It's just more projection on their part.

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

No thanks. Us Europeans have Ukraine for that

[–] horn_e4_beaver@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Even if this isn't the intention now, how long before some group of rich individuals realises how handy it would be to use these autonomous killing machines to get rid of the 'excess' population?

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

What excess? More is cheaper.

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago

Too expensive. Virus would be faster and cheaper.

Now they would be good for home did fence along the fence line

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

Good thing we all have microwaves.

I should have been a hot man.
