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!

Proclaiming an idiotically edgy identity on a porn site is the kind of pathologically oblivious attention seeking that has been the hallmark of the far right since trump made everyone watch him descend a golden escalator.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

It’s been there far longer. All the douchebag on the gold escalator did was show them that they don’t need to quit once the story comes out. They can fake news and double down and still get elected.

"I'm a black nazi!" is crazy work. I read the other posts yeah that is him alright. I hope he loses.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He apparently learned nothing from history. There used to be a "Jews for Hitler" group, too. Until there wasn't.

What on earth ?

Based on the “minisoldr” handle and love of model helicopters, it looks like this is his Amazon reviews. A bunch of RC helicopters, some train model type things, and a “compression” shirt. Honestly surprised that’s all that’s listed. https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AFXTJ5RRW6AT3J2MINZ5ZLQZ3MFQ/

The love of aviation spans all walks of life. Even fucked ones.

I was just driving behind a North Carolina plate the other day. Apparently their plates read "First in Freedom". Seems like they've lost sight of things.

[–] scops@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's one you can choose. I've always stuck with the classic First in Flight. Way too many In God We Trust driving around though

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

That should not even be legal, IMHO. Why is the state involved in religious nonsense?

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Which is wrong anyway, the Wright brothers were born, raised, and died in Ohio, had their bicycle shop in Ohio, designed/built the first airplane in Ohio, and only took it to Kitty Hawk in NC for test flights.

Speaking as an Ohioan, NC can go fly a kite with that "first in flight" nonsense.

A lot of same-password-tacked-on-post-it-note energy here.

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

The party of "personal responsibility", and of "freedom" and of "family values", everyone!

Good grief, what a fucking bunch of WEIRDOS.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Isn't this Kanye under a different name?

It's a joke. Here is my defense.Okay, that was the joke because it is two black men who share what are, in my opinion, batshit crazy political ideologies and have a platform to spread their message. Off the cuff, I could not think of another anti-everything they should be before black guy than Kanye because I'm not savvy. Robinson and Ye don't look alike, so miss me with that as well.
