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!

ended up dead in Nazi concentration camps

Anybody familiar with young children will recognize this use of passive voice as the phase where the child admits that something bad happened, but is not comfortable assigning responsibility yet. "The lamp got broken".

"Man dies of bullet holes in police custody"

Has Tucker had plastic surgery? I'm just asking questions.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I'm sorry, but he just looks like Charlie Chaplin.

It's a shame Hitler ruined the mustache, because that's the only part of mine that grows in full.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Such a rascal of a tramp

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Hitler actually stole that look from him. He was a huge fan of Chaplin's movies back in the day. And that is why no one can dress like Charlie Chaplin for Halloween anymore 😔

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hes a trust fund kid. Probably the first supermarket he's ever been inside.

And they sell multiple kinds of bread too!

Breaking: Nazi continues to nazi after years of naziing

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

THIS is EXACTLY why Republicans are the ONLY PARTY for Jews! You're not a REAL JEW unless you vote for the Pro Nazi Party!

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

I mean that is pretty much the sentiment I've been getting from the Pro-Israel crowd

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I mean, Winston Churchill most definitely was a villain. He wasn’t the villain of WWII, but undoubtedly a villain.

He was intensely racist, had no problem using Indian people in his army while censoring their letters, as a famine he had a hand in creating killed over three million people.

That’s no excuse for peddling propaganda-Nazi propaganda, though. I thought that was kind of this guy’s shtick?

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

This is less than mild shock

[–] Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He's been doing that ever since his media career started in the 90s.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well I am shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Well, I am shocked! Absolutely stunned. No, no. Wait. I meant unsurprised and jaded.

[–] slickgoat@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Why does Tucker Carlson look like he just realised he sharted.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He looks like he's constantly bewildered. He uses it so that he can give the appearance that what's going on is insane and that he's the last normal man standing...

And for the most part it just makes him look clueless...

I actually was worried he was an adult with disabilities being exploited by Fox when I first actually watched his show. The fact that he laughed at the idea that tacos are Mexican an origin when it's "obviously an American food from California!" Did not help

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

The worst part is that he isn't that stupid. He's just genuinely that evil.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

That’s his concerned look. It probably works on his fans.

Tucker hanging out with nazis? Why, I find that hard to believe. /s

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

"Accused"?

I'd be surprised if this absolute failure of a human being wasn't spreading Nazi propaganda.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

He's just asking questions.

[–] LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The dude is doing a live tour right now, or is about to be, and one of his shows is gonna have Alex Jones as a guest. This is not surprising and if anything, is super expected.

I accuse the sky of being made of air!

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well if the jack boot fits…

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Can Fucker's tan guy tell tRump's tan guy that it can in fact go up to the eyes.

Then at least he'll have done something positive in this life via association.

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Don't forget: this weirdo wants his green chocolate candy to be gendered and fuckable.

[–] hannesh93 7 points 2 months ago

Was that the video Musk spread on his Twitter account? I knew it was bad because of Tucker in general - but this?

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

Are these the same people who claim opposing Israel is "antisemitism"?

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

Oh somebody finally got around to saying it out loud huh.

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

I hate his fucking stupid face so much

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Pretty sure this is a fact, not an accusation.
