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!

Less than 25% people support it. Every country has some crazies, but we're basically all pissed.

We are in a war meant to end the world because too many dumbfucks in power have an imaginary friend.

Seems like an illegal war to distract the masses from a poor economy, an out of control immigration enforcement agency, and an Epstein cover up. At this point I just hope the people of Iran end up in a better position than before the war but I'm not optimistic.

Side note: it also seems like Trump may be cozying up to Israel to gain favor in Gaza rebuild.

Edit: I should have clicked the link prior to just stating my views

Trump is dumber than a brick of shit. But even more so thinking Israel is going to let him own any land or property in Gaza.

They will be happy to let trump pay for buildings.

No way will they let anyone else own that land.

My bricks of shit have enough common sense not to stick to the right side of the toilet

I mean, I like your commentary, put it in the box!

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

Wrong administration for this type of thing

  • start meaningless war emphasizing terrorist threat
  • stage false-flag
  • cancel elections

Don't forget

  • broadcast some people celebrating in the street of the country you just bombed so that it seems like it was justified.

"See, we liberated them from tyranny! The same tyranny I wield at home!"

I haven't been paying attention to this, if it hasn't happened already, I guarantee the talking points from the MAGA civilians will shift to being world police again, and how we had to bomb them to release them from the dictator. Ya know the same people that were angry just 2 years ago about how we stick our noses all over the world and don't take care of our own at home, which Trump ran his entire campaign on: "America first" and all that.

The same people that were mad about helping someone that actually asked for help (Ukraine)

No matter what you do you'll never escape being a traitorous pedophilic rapist.
