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!

I feel no sympathy for her mother. Maybe she will think about this next time she wants to make a bad decision. Renee on the other hand, has my deepest sympathies.

The lack of accountability from this woman sickens me.

FAFO. Only in this case, her daughter found out :(

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago

Finding out is always optional, if you simply never introspect or allow yourself to experience doubt. Which, ha ha, it turns out the more your twisted beliefs hurt you, the harder it gets to face them down! So, that's fun.

Here is the entire forum on cspan. I'd more rather hear* from the other victim's parents. Renee Good deserves to be remembered for what she stood for.

This is why I can't go along with people who say the country is ultimately screwed because conservatives keep having more kids than progressives. Conservative assholes like this lady have awesome progressive kids like Renee all the time.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, it does seem like an effective way to understand what's fucked about conservatism would be to be bullied and traumatized by them at home. It worked for me. For so many people though, somehow they don't learn that lesson.

My mother loved her abusive father and abused us emotionally and verbally and my sister will defend my mothers abuse endlessly.

It sickens me. These are weak pathetic excuses for human beings. And there are so fucking many of them.

Leopards are feasting tonight it seems.

Ambiguous pronoun use in the headline...

[–] the_q@piefed.social 12 points 3 days ago
