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!

So... if it is polonium poisoning, will the U.S. ever let the public know? Give me your conspiracy theories!

Mitch snatched up those lil ladybugs

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

Meh. I used to think it was bad to not feel bad about someones death. Used to.

Um. Hmm. If he has any little grandchildren who are sad about grandpa’s death, then they have my sympathy.

Otherwise I got nothin'.

Too much coke and Rent Boys for an old queen.

There's a meme theory floating around that Lindsey was blood sacrifice to keep McConnell going.

I prefer to believe that by keeping McConnell on life support, he's propping the door open.

(and as per rule 4: I'm merely pointing out that a meme exists, as it's tangentially relevant to the discussion)

He died, but how are the ladybugs doing? Have they been saved? They should clip them off and Steven Miller can chew on them for power when there aren't any minority children to suffer.

What I love most about Graham dying is Trump is already feeling the cold breath of death on the back of his neck. With the Mitch the Turtle retreating into his shell, and now a younger Graham dropping dead, Trump will definitely be feeling his days are numbered.

Couldn’t have happened to a better guy

Rot in hell, scumbag. Hope they roast your fucking ladybugs down there.

I feel sad for the male prostitutes of DC for their loss in income

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You can point out how this makes the world a better place but don't celebrate that fact because it is against the rules here.
