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!

It's the other way around. Getting rejected by all those hot Latinas in Santa Monica, the un poquito matadorito, is greeting revenge by deporting every brown person.

I think watters has a crush on someone

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Miller. Jesse wants the poquito matadorito

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

poquito matadorito

Are you implying that the man squeaking out how "hardcore" he was is a tiny little man? I mean, when I see footage like that of PeeWee Himmler, I am always just overwhelmed with positive masculine traits as well as general BDE, aren't you?

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I was thinking Jesse wanted the D, or rather the d, but your point is well made that it's a good descriptor for the entire Stephen.

These guys really, really all have the hots for AOC, and I think it drives them all the crazier because they have this stupid canard in their heads about liberal women all being ugly harpies.

I remember how they tried to make it a bad thing that they had footage of her....get this....dancing!....in college! 🤣 I also remember all the weird things they've said about her over the years - there was even some kind of concern trolling about how she was dating a white dude.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

Conservatism is broadly, almost entirely, a form of kink play.

Almost every social issue they support or prop up can be dismantled down to weird sex games and/or taboos. Most of the shit they hate is also tied to sexual hangups they have and are repulsed by themselves for being curious about - IE: look up pornhub keywords alongside right-wing vernacular and other leading issues. It's not a coincidence that "cuckolding" porn became immensely popular the same time that they started using the word "cuck" as an insult against people they don't like. You can see it in many other issues going back as far as gay rights and the current obsession with trans people.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 53 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That guy is fucked in the head. I really can’t imagine how any other human can stand to be around him.

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

You just described every Fox News host.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Didn't Watters get his start by trying to punk people in man on the street types of things?

Kind of an IRL troll, working for Bill "Loofah" O'Lielly?

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 6 points 2 months ago

Not sure if it's where he got his start but you're definitely correct that's a thing he used to do.

Including this mess of racism/xenophobia: https://youtu.be/PJmnLzw8NA4

[–] mos@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Projection? Does he want to sleep with AOC? Or maybe he wants to sleep with Stephen Miller?

[–] KokoSabreScruffy@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My bet is on Stephen Miller.

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

If you watch the clip it's evident he wants to sleep with Miller

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

That man absolutely is driven to power, the Nazi kind. He wants to gargle Steven's trowser fruit like nobodies business.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

either makes sense - he looks like a cuck though

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago (3 children)

This is really what it's all about, isn't it? They're literally all just a bunch of dudes that can't handle the idea that some women don't want to have sex with them and are taking their frustration out on everyone else. Little ol' Stephen Miller probably got rejected a bunch in highschool so he turned into the "edgy" guy and proceeded to never grow up. The real health crisis they should be investigating is the epidemic of small dick energy.

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago

It’s definitely a major component of it

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Little pp energy. Yes.

Lol, I wrote that before reading your final line. It really is a thing. It has nothing to do with the size of ones literal weiner, too. So calm down in advance, white knights.

He looks like a disgusting child raping gooner.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

He's a republican in the highest eschilons of the American government. He's absolutely very likely a pedophile.

Same dead serial pedophile eyes as Jared Kushner.

Waters wants so bad to be relevant and funny. He’s not but he really wants to be as popular and bow tie Tucker was. Waters is a Temu state tv taking head, not funny, not popular, and not relevant. His mother calling in was the only remarkable thing about his career.

Projection. It's always projection with these MAGAt morons. So... yeah... Dude wants that nasty bald loser and can't fathom how AOC doesn't.

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fascists, fundamentalists, incels,... It's all the same psycho-sexual insecurities at their core; they can't help but be really fucking weird.

"I know him well socially and the man is not overcompensating."

“Men who are high value men like Stephen Miller take risks, they’re brave, they’re unafraid, they’re confident, and they’re on a mission,” Watters said. “And they have younger wives with beautiful children.”

These people are completely broken.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

These people are completely broken.

Agreed. Here's how I arrived at that conclusion, today.

who are high value

I positively loathe qualifiers like this. It's the presumption that we all have the same values (we don't), that theirs are the correct ones (really not), and that there's some kind of objective attractiveness hierarchy in play (less of a thing than you'd think). It's only four words, but man does this carry weight by conveying a willful ignorance of how people really work. It also something you'd likely find on a 4chan greentext.

take risks, they’re brave, they’re unafraid, they’re confident

These are also qualities shared with the mentally deranged and sociopaths. It's easy to look like this if you're crazy and/or don't give a fuck about others. A dead giveaway is when they're always like this. Meanwhile, good people that share these qualities are also usually esteemed for their deeds,how they don't always act like this, and know how to be cautious, when to retreat, and that it's okay to doubt.

And they have younger wives with beautiful children.

... and we conclude with a cocktailof misogynist double-speak, ageism, and prosperity gospel for seasoning. Just the thing to wash down this shit-sundae of a character endorsement.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A business contact of my wife likes to swing the term "high value" (or its negation) at everything within reach like a hyperactive kid at a piñata-party. I haven't seen him apply it to people yet, but the way he sometimes sounds wouldn't surprise me at all.

The general context is event management, so he wants every advertisement, every presentation, every service provider's social media profiles and generally everything to be "high value" in order to get "high value" customers. He'll frown on certain promo channels not because they're ineffective, but because they reach the "wrong audience" and once you've established yourself in a certain price range, it's really hard to rebrand for a "higher value" range.

God forbid you would willingly cater to people not willing to drop six figures on a private party. His argument isn't even that this range isn't enough for a sustainable, comfortable living, just that it's not worth it if you could also go for "high value".

If he hasn't already, I'm pretty sure one day he'll end up calling a person not "high value" enough.

Laughable.

Stephen Miller's own wife doesn't want to sleep with Stephen Miller.

Everything the republicans say is pure projection.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

It's not that nobody could find a short bald guy attractive, in fact I know many people who do, but the dead eyes on a short bald guy really remove those odds. Those people want a Jason Alexander type or a guy who knows his height and hairlessness don't stop him from being hot shit, or maybe even just a dweeby accountant. Not a man who's eyes make it clear his soul has been in sheol longer than he can remember.

AOC on the other hand is famously attractive.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Twatters wants to sleep with AOC?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean....she's a very attractive woman, so the attraction part is entirely understandable. These people just cannot help but be so very fucking weird about it, though.

Weird? He's totally not weird.

Remember, this is the guy who wanted to tell a woman he liked her, so he slashed her tires, and offered to give her a ride home. That's like, the most common way to meet someone.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Only Boomers watch Fox, and us when we’re fed snippets on social media. The rest of the base is on pundits and talk radio. Kirk was more popular. There’s a reason Vance and Trump Jr are all over that vacancy.

Fox is the wrong media to be looking to for info on what’s going on over there.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Lol, no one, wants to sleep with Stephen Miller. Not even the guys he hooks up with on grindr

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

but he really looked great with the spray on hair.

"She keeps picking apart and revealing my fascist agenda. You know she wants the D, dude."

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

lol it’s so obvious that Jesse Waters is trying to make up for Stephen Millers wife saying Miller is a sex avoider on his show

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Fox News.

god.

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I find it difficult to believe that anyone would want to sleep with Miller.

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 6 points 2 months ago

I mean, I do think it makes a certain level of sense how Watters drew that conclusion from what AOC's been doing, recently.

Everyone at Fox News is a child and treating your crush like you hate them is a very common flirtation technique on the elementary playground.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

🤢 🤮 <-- the reaction anyone has when thinking about sleeping with Stephen Miller.

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Conservatives remind me of Predator. Specifically the part where it replays snippets of human speech in order to confuse its prey.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Let's rub Steven Miller's alien looking forehead from the Sigourney Weaver movies. Ooh baby rub it. Oh your breath is like acid, it turns me on.

I'll see myself out now
