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!

It’s a public high school for fucks sake.

Who from the school administration endorsed this visit in the first place? Never had to deal with political bullshit like this when I was in school.

With people like her I wonder if she actually genuinely believes in her values or just determined them to be most profitable to her. And I'd argue that the latter would be even more evil

Notice that a lot of gop politicians end up having their kinks exposed. It’s all for show, it’s like Christian cosplay; these people are total heathens

I wonder this too. I can’t fathom either

How was this even allowed to be staged in the first place? Someone at the school board should get fired..... From a cannon!

If the person who popped Kirk knew what kind of freakish dead-eyed monster would rise in his place, would they still pull the trigger?

Unfortunately this is why assassination is usually a bad choice. "Head of the hydra", making a martyr and all of that. It's contradictory to the goal.

Maybe she hired out to do it.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That is/was a legitimate conspiracy theory going through tiktok, at least a told to me a few weeks ago.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I could get behind it. There’s definitely something off about her.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Um I think that's the reason they pushed the button.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Oh, so that's why they're trying to pass laws against that

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

Oh, no! But MAH FREEZED PEACH!

I, as a conservative grifting anti-American asshole, have a right to being heard by a captive audience!

[–] null@lemmy.org 1 points 1 month ago

What's even funnier is what Charlie Kirk had to say about it.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Can crazy eyes just go fuck herself? She might even feel human that way.

Parents? Intervening in college? Seriously?
