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!

So any magats caught celebrating this political attack that injured three will surely face consequences, right?

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 68 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

We should start flying flags

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 points 3 weeks ago

One with a straw hat on it maybe?

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah those flags are sure to put out fires

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago
[–] NerdyKeith@lemmy.world 88 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

And yet the insist the radical left is the problem? Sheesh

[–] minnow@lemmy.world 66 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Fascists say whatever gives them the most power in any situation, reality really isn't a factor.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Fascists say whatever ~~gives them the most power~~ makes them feel the most powerful in any situation.

[–] NerdyKeith@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sad but true

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 32 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The truth doesn't matter anymore, proceed accordingly

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Exactly.

If consequences dictate course of action, then it doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught.

If consequences dictate course of action, then we should play God, and just shoot them ourselves

[–] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole. But I'm tired of waiting

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yahweh doesn't use guns. He's got millions of morons for that. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–] Heikki2@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

If there left would just stop trying to take away their guns. They would have to.commit so many mass shooting at schools and churches to explain why they'll need them.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 67 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

MAGA is a terrorist organization.

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 37 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] boogiebored@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Wait, I thought the "left"/antifa were domestic terrorists? Wow, they are internally inconsistent? What a surprise!

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I post this all over all the time... fuck every last one of these people.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 31 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

MAGA is fighting a war against an enemy who thinks having the moral high ground means not needing to fight back.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That is extremely well put.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, you say that- and then you see “the opposition” shooting the messenger

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's because only one side realizes that the war has already started.

[–] nanoswarm9k@lemmus.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

One side is already acting on the war it is trying to start.

Torpor-train your lumpy neighbors.

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 2 points 3 weeks ago
[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well.. the thing is, MAGA is also incredibly good at falling flat on their faces too. These are not intelligent people.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago

They are steamrolling their opposition and gaining ground every single day.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 40 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

I demand proof you’re an actual Christian. Which commandments are you following? Are we picking and choosing? Is that what GOD wants? Good luck getting into Heaven even if you accept “Him” into your heart when you literally do the opposite of everything. 🖕

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 11 points 3 weeks ago

I thought the hell fire was strictly in god's purview. If we get to decide who deserves hell fire, and carry it out in his name, why do you worship in the first place?

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

Reminds me of Trump's favorite Bible verse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERUngQUCsyE

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Can we stop linking to the Daily Beast? It's FoxNews for dudes in ponytails and Birkenstocks.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

Phrasing reminds me of this clip

[–] laz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sounds like some new sauce made from Carolina reaper anyway maga 2 packs

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah are we sure that Stephen Miller wasn't just upset that his favorite hot sauce didn't make it into the lineup of the new season of Hot Ones?

I'm sorry, I can't even make jokes about this fucking piece of shit. I hope he dies in a fire.

[–] atmorous@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Everyone keep getting more people onto Lemmy (Voyager for Lemmy too), Mastodon, Spark.so, and Flashes

Hoping PeerTube completely overhauls their presentation and setup so people can use it as a YouTube alt too

  2. Local fire marshall says no evidence of arson.

  3. it was a wood cottage, they go up like tinder.
