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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

No one deserves to be abducted by ICE, but it's a lot funnier when it happens to some people than others.

No shit:

He has also cheered on ICE raids, writing on X last year: "Total legal immunity for ICE agents when they're on duty."

He posted in 2025: "We have got to deport millions and millions of people. Without that, nothing else matters."

Yiannopoulos also advocated on social media for "on the spot deportation for anyone who can't prove they are in the US legally".

He now calls himself an "ex-gay".

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago

Roy Cohn, political mentor to both Trump and Roger Stone, who died of AIDS, always denied that he was gay, even though everyone knew it. Conservatives covered for him by saying that he wasn't really gay, he just liked to sexually dominate young blonde men. It was a power thing, not a sex thing. Obviously.

BTW, it should be noted that both Trump and Stone were young blonde men.

Fuck ICE. Also, total schadenlol.

New word added to dictionary, thank you Internet Person

[–] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Thanks for linking to an actual journalistic news outlet. All the other posts I've seen relating to this were for trash rags like TMZ, the NY Post, and the Daily Mail.

ICE shouldn't exist.

That being said, no one deserves to be kidnapped and sent to a concentration camp more than those who support exactly that.

This is almost as good as Kirk getting shot and killed while debating gun violence on the side that enables gun violence. The irony is chef's kiss

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'd argue he deserves what he's getting. He cheered it on and supported it happening to others

I would, of course, prefer no one in an ICE concentration camp, but of there is even ine person, I can't think of anyone more deserving than him

What I don't agree with is the part where this seems retaliation from the Trump admin. Milo has been criticizing Trump more recently, and helped Ye's presidential campaign, which was competing with Trump. It seems likely, given Trump's character, that this is retaliation for not falling in line -- a dangerous display of how authoritarian the US has become

Commentator

That... is a word to use. Not the correct word, but it's a word.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How about professional stochastic terrorist?

Prefect, 10/10, no notes. Now we just need the "papers of record" to stop inventing ways to dance around it.

[–] imvii@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

I had forgotten all about this scrub.

What a fun way to be reminded of him.

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 5 points 1 week ago

I hope he's never heard from again.

The mugshot is... something, lol. Droopy dog levels of eye bags.

LOLWUT

Remember when this shithead represented the vanguard of the "alt right"?

ICE win. You get what you fucking deserve Milo.

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

I hope he enjoys their special protein water.

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Holy fuck, the UK doesn't want him back here! Is it too late to divert him to El Salvador or similar as he would wish for others?

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

I heard Iberia said they’d watch him for a long weekend.
