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!

I don't feel like I've earned this. Serious imposter syndrome rn.

The FBI official said the situation was “very fluid.”

Well, heck, I mean they are "radically pro-transgender" aren't they?

I'm imagining that the amount of fascist activity across the U.S. this year will be unmatched. Considering the American techno fascist companies have wormed their way into majority of the world's population's pockets, I wouldn't be surprised if we see this shit globally too. The world is sick and it's really bumming me out.

Don't be too bummed. All this crazy shit needs complex supply chains to even exist, which the regime seems intent on destroying. Soon, the data centers won't run and we can fight over the sheet metal to build huts within the ruins.

Didn't he already do this? Or has he just been saying it for since forever?

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They were a terrorist organization, now they're a 'major' terrorist organization.

C'mon pay attention now, it's not like he changes his mind 17 times a day or something... ~(/s)~

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Dammit! Who let Grampa Dementia alone with the TV remote again?

Every damn time he watches Fox, he starts freaking out.

Next he's gonna be seeing brown-skinned immigrants under his bed, tryna steal his compression socks.

Fuckin' hell, people.. can we please remember to lock up the remote before he finds it..

I'm not part of that group, but I'm sure I'll get that label, if so, I'll defend myself best I can.

You're a ~~wizard~~ terrorist, Harry.

[–] fira@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

I long for the good old days when terrorists were the easily identified FOB European settlers

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Then we can't make things worse by burning the White House to the fucking ground.

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

As the national founder of antichomo I figure my days are numbered but glad to see I'm only on the list for most of my beliefs and activities.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I guess they'll be beating down the doors of the Antifa headquarters that don't exist any day then?

[–] wuffah@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (4 children)

Aww man, I was about to take reliable mass transit to my local Antifa training camp where we learn about vaccines and renewable energy. I hope they don’t send a supersonic, all-weather, variable-wing geometry stealth bomber equipped with a long-range precision guided munitions platform to bomb the school it’s in!

Declare martial law! Mobile ICE and the National Guard into San Francisco to utilize that 100 billion fucking dollars we gave the DHS to disappear protesters and community activists and destitute immigrants to concentration camps. Burn the socialist community gardens! Shut down the federally funded research labs at those liberal woke mind-virus infested communist Muslim-loving terrorist colleges that are so popular for obtaining the jobs that engineer our glorious new AI cyber-Christ!

Demolish the aborted fetus factories and the genital mutilation clinics masquerading as “healthcare” for the godless baby-killing mothers and the radical anarchist transgenderism sycophants wildly daring to control their own physical destiny! Hunt down every filthy porn spewing whore scrabbling to make a living selling their bodies in defiance of God’s immutable law as interpreted and funded by his male avatars in the US government! We’ll teach them rape is the only socially acceptable form of pleasure!

Siege gun clubs! Burn the safety pamphlets! Confiscate the weapons we paid so dearly for in the lives of schoolchildren to guarantee our “liberty” from the glorious imperial MAGA Trump-worshipping bloodless political revolution! The leftists are arming their militias with bake sales and barbecues!

Take away their so-called “privacy” they use to abuse children while not rich and on a private island and spread intellectual property destroying malware that obliterated media conglomerate profits by 3% this quarter! Scan every license plate, scour every app, correlate every post, and decrypt the entire Internet! We’ll find those VPN-loving terrorists weaponizing algorithms to hide from identity theft and spread their Jew-run, America-hating, liberal-biased “journalism!” The great eye is forever watchful! The three-letter agency KNOWS ALL!

Roll the tanks! Send in the troops! Lock and load! Stage the coup! Raise the flag! Notify your next of kin! Say your prayers! Sing the battle-hymn! Spin up the nukes! Fuel the rockets! Launch the drones! Sail the ships! Sortie the bombers! Set DEFCON 2! Oh, and by the way, shred that stupid fucking piece of paper a bunch of old slave-raping queen kissers scribbled up 300 years ago.

The terrorists are here!
