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!

Lindsay Graham was right about one thing!

This guy actively attacks the LQBTQ+ community, all the while being one himself, if the rumors are to believed.

[–] OttoVonBizmarkie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think those rumors are most likely true.

If it weren't for NDAsI think the world would be a better place. The rich and powerful get to hide their embarrassing and or criminal behavior with the help of the judicial system. As designed I suppose, but wish it were different

There's a reason why an extremely anti-lgbt republican who's actually just in the closet is almost a cliche nowadays

It seems the loudest anti-LGBTQ+ are just full of externalized self loathing and hate. Sad that they deny themselves and hurt their own community.

I know it's a fake story but I can't but help laugh and feel absolutely disgusted at the thought of Lindsey Graham's "ladybugs"

[–] 2piradians@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I couldn't remember what "they" were called. Thanks! It's sad, really. The need to hide who you really are to do what you'd like to do. Lindsey is a piece of shit, but maybe he didn't start of that way? Just imagine, we could have openly gay Republican that want to repress others based solely on race and religion, regardless of orientation. We can dream
