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!

A bill like this would normally get called a ban in all but name; but since it is literally called the “Gender Delusion Disqualification Act”, it is, in essence, a ban in name as well.

Mace to the face.

Ideally the very spicy and burning variety.

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 4 points 2 hours ago

I heard mace opened a youtube channel where she is thirst trapping (dressing very provokatively) all the geriatrics with her big fake tits and such. She is one lost election away from opening an only fans account.

As a reminder of her character, she did a stand up routine at some congressional kind of roasting thing on Matt Gaetz about him sleeping with underage girls. Meanwhile she has been protected epstein and his associates.

A cynical operator to the core.

If the jobs require mental health screenings, and trans people are supposedly mentally ill... surely they'll just fail, and there's no need for an additional ban. Surely, right?

Or are we about to hear that the radical left has somehow infiltrated all mental health screenings?

I still remember a "friend" who I'm considering making an ex-friend, try to tell me that she wasn't transphobic, she just had trauma.

No she's transphobic, and I'm tired of pretending TERFs have legitimate grievances with trans women.

So the lady is delusional and should be barred from holding any office.

She’s also going around talking about UFOs. Not a serious person.

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

To be fair, the UAP things are real. We have them on camera, with reliable witnesses. It defies explanation, I reject aliens just because of the unfathomably large distances between solar systems and my belief that warp speed is not a real thing.

If I had to guess, I would go for some kind of hologram technology. That is the most logical explanation I can think of.

That said, she is not a serious person, she opened a youtube channel where she is showing off her fake boobs and such very provokatively, enticing all the geriatrics running the party and business I presume.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 15 points 6 hours ago

I don't like her.

...and yet somehow a dick as well.

[–] decolo@piefed.social 3 points 4 hours ago

I guess getting those tattoos wasn't enough to fix her

[–] AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Yes, let's worry about an issue effecting like .01% of most people's lives rather than healthcare, political corruption, government surveillance, inflation, or 1,000 other critical problems. Outstanding candidate.

On the subject of focusing on the wrong thing, affecting.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 2 hours ago

Well akshually it's estimated that 1% of Americans identify as trans.

The goal is always to be evil. Why would they be helping the average people when they can be evil to a minority to the point where there's a visible uptick of suicides in the wake of the policies they make?
