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!

One of the Trump administration’s newest immigration judges said that some women are just a “warm, wet hole.”

Melissa Isaak, an Army veteran and reservist, was hired by the Justice Department on April 8 as a temporary immigration judge. She was permitted to begin hearing cases immediately, according to an announcement from the Executive Office for Immigration Review.

She compared that to a “real woman,” a subtype that she said was meant to “catapult a man.”

“We’re powerful women, we are, if we use it in the right way,” Isaak said, specifying the necessity to use that energy for men.

Instructions unclear; man stuck in tree.

And here I was worrying that these temporary judges would just be incompetent 🤦‍♀️

Who the fuck even talks like that?

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 22 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

My ex, for one. He saw me as a cut of meat to fuck and when I wouldn't put out, he drugged and raped me. At my own goddamn 21st birthday party. In my home. With my family and friends a shout away. Thing is, I couldn't shout, cause I was drugged. Can't take legal action because all evidence was circumstantial and I repressed the memories for 5 years and then spent 3 haunted by what I remembered until it broke me and I started therapy for it. I can't get justice, but I hope to god the people Trump raped get justice.

[–] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 11 points 6 hours ago

Hey, I'm so sorry to hear that. I've got a similar story only it took more like 15 years until I raised what had been done to me. The worst part now is the anger. If I think about it my heart starts beating faster immediately. I can't get it out of my head when I'm trying to sleep sometimes. It's destroying my life. I'm getting therapy, but it's so deep rooted it's going to take a while.
Good luck, don't give up the fight.

Rapists and rapist apologizers.

[–] trackball_fetish@lemmy.wtf 46 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Conservatives. I'm not joking. I know a Woman who parrots the same sentiment, minus the warm portion

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 13 hours ago

Cold wet hole 🤢

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Melissa Isaak is a woman, no?

[–] elevenbones@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Im glad magnum P. I. is on the case

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It was in the title summary…but ok. You’re that easy to impress then.

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 9 points 11 hours ago

Thanks a lot. I get less recognition than I thought. But you know I have to investigate when its about a woman.

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 44 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

This headline suggested to me that the judge said this in her new capacity as a judge. That's not the case, this is a statement she made in a different context years ago.

Which doesn't make it normal or cool.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 6 points 4 hours ago

Literally worse. She got promoted after this.

Lol people get fired for being 5 minutes late to work. Honestly the fact we don’t revolt over that fact alone is everything wrong with us.

How are lawyers not winning every case with “well precedent in this country is no crime is prosecuted as proven by POTUS. This crime is not worse than child rape and treason. So therefore my client should not be punished worse than a child rapist and traitor. That’s my argument your honor.”

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 17 points 13 hours ago

This is the kind of talk you'd expect on a shock comedy podcast where actual comedians are deliberately crossing boundaries and it's fairly clear they aren't being sincere. And even in that highly specific context it's still iffy.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 19 points 14 hours ago

You're surprised? This is what America voted for. Fascism.

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 89 points 18 hours ago (7 children)

She's a woman. That caught me off guard.

During an interview with pickup artist Anthony Dream Johnson in 2021, Isaak claimed that “there are two types of women.”

“There are good, solid, valuable women who are major assets to men, if you’re a good woman,” Isaak said. “And then there’s a warm wet hole.”

[–] Freeposity@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

Both of her "types" reinforce the patriarchy and misogyny in general.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 3 points 4 hours ago

Isaak, lol. Sure it’s her last name but I would have opted for her full name because come the fuck on.

[–] pipi1234@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

She lost me at "major asset to men"...

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

She lost me at "interview with pickup artist".

[–] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 66 points 17 hours ago

Isaak was a defense attorney for three of the January 6 Capitol rioters (she later withdrew from two of the cases), and she also helped Alabama Republican Roy Moore dismiss a defamation suit from a woman who said he molested her when she was 14.

What a gem! Glad she's out there making herself valuable to men. What a horrifying (but worth the read) article.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 24 points 16 hours ago

There are way more misogynist women out there than you would think.

Especially from older generations.

[–] dalekcaan@feddit.nl 34 points 18 hours ago

Ah, she must be One of the Good Ones™

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 13 points 18 hours ago

Is there really, truly a difference for a conservative man? I see little difference in how they feel about women other than inferior creatures for extracting resources and offspring. They treat warm holes better too because trad wives put up with abuse so they don't have to pretend to be a decent person at home.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 38 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

“And guess what? Guess who else has a warm, wet hole? Every other woman out there."

I think she's forgetting that men have warm, wet holes too.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

She's also never talked to Ben Shapiro's wife.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

has ben shapiro talked with ben shapiro's wife?

We need to be putting more holes in judges.

Some women judged, and it turns out that Trump is just a Warm Wet Hole.

“Trump is not a cunt. He doesn’t have the warmth or the depth”

That’s no way to talk about Kristi Noem… that’s a cold clammy hole at best.

[–] the_armchair_potato@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Sounds exactly what soneone from the Rump administration would say. Fuck these demons back to the hell they dug themselves up from 😡

[–] AbstractReality@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago

Damn, everything is projection with these people

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 14 hours ago

I always like my women useful to men, yeah... Lol. Its absurd seeing a human being talk like this.

[–] SheepHerder@lemmy.world -4 points 15 hours ago

I get what she's saying and I agree. The way she's saying it though... Some people are golden, others are useless.
