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!

ugh... again? and what off-Broadway show was it during this time?

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 21 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

How dare you!

Beetlejuice was a Broadway show, not off-Broadway! Though she did see the tour in Denver, not the actual Broadway cast.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 hours ago

Did attend. Wasn't paying much attention to the stage

[–] Corvidae@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

It fits right in with "Preach the New Testament, practice the Old."

Republicans said they were the party of family values. That is clearly not the case.

If I had a consensual sexual relationship with her (without the power dynamic thing that makes this worse), I'd be paying her to keep it quiet. What an embarrassing person to be associated with.

See this is the rise of feminism female politicians can now be sexual predators as well.

enjoy syphilis

[–] RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 11 hours ago

Same, but probably regret it

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago

Probably one of the few areas where she's actually knowledgeable. 🤭

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Seriously she'd be a real good hate fuck.

Different family values for different folks.

[–] DjangoFett@lemmy.zip 25 points 12 hours ago

party of family values

Lots of families, value prices!

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

They never specify which family they take the values from. The de Sades is my guess.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

Who am I talking about?

"I value other people's families...but only if they are 12 or under!!! I'm not bothered if they are a boy or girl"

"I value other families...dogs! Any breed, but I do like the feisty ones."

"And I value other families couches...leather if possible. It's easier to clean."

[–] Archer@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Feeling more like the Habsburgs

"Drop a dime on her"?

Who wrote this, a 15 year old?

[–] Mister_Feeny@fedia.io 13 points 11 hours ago

Are 15 year olds using 1960s lingo now? Groovy.

[–] ChetManly@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

When that copyright expires...

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

Are they of age? Then I don't give a fuck and this shouldn't be news.

Edit: seeing further down about using campaign money for this, that should have been the headline.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 7 points 8 hours ago

Isn't she from the party running on family values?

https://boebert.house.gov/issues/pro-life-and-family-values

*Additionally, I believe that strong families are the foundation of American society, and I oppose efforts to redefine marriage as anything other than the union of one man and one woman. *

And apparently a bunch of that woman's staffers...

Not that it's going to change anything (MAGA loves hypocrisy) but I think that if a politician makes family values the core of their brand it's fair to report what family values they actually represent.
