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!

Gotta put a bandage on the ear to update it

[–] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 15 points 3 months ago (3 children)

And flip it so it's the right ear

[–] littlewonder@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I gave it a go.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Since when have republicans cared about factual accuracy?

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

In addition, those whose faces the leopard is about to chew off usually stand to its right.

Edit: On second thought, nvm, the leopard is more likely to attack from right to left.

If only someone could have seen this coming

[–] Spitzspot@lemmings.world 71 points 3 months ago

Stevie Wonder saw this coming.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 33 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You've seen it? It's brand-new!

[–] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but I saw it on a... re-run...

Rerun was a character played by Fred Berry on the hit 1970's sitcom, "Whats Happening" - but thats not important right now.

I just got punched while wearing a green shirt by a guy who said he would punch anybody who approaches him with a green shirt. How could this have happened?

[–] talentedkiwi@sh.itjust.works 24 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

You probably figured he meant bright green shirts, but you're wearing a forest green shirt.

[–] st3ph3n@midwest.social 48 points 3 months ago

Leopards? Eating MY face?! Surely not.

[–] neoman4426@fedia.io 48 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean, the Republican nominee for president is a proud pedophile. Can't be considered a bad thing if dear leader has admitted he sexually assaults anyone he finds attractive, and that he also has the same tastes as his best friend Jeff with them being "on the younger side"

[–] sxan@midwest.social 18 points 3 months ago

Including his own daughter, when she was underaged.

[–] frigidaphelion@lemmy.world 35 points 3 months ago (3 children)

What kind of cognitive dissonance needs to go on to be homosexual and a republican?

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 12 points 3 months ago

There's probably a nobel prize to be won in studying how people participate in their own oppression.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 10 points 3 months ago

"I'm gay but I don't support pride or the whole LGBT thing, it just makes us look bad"

Actual quote I seen on a youtube comment a while ago from a "gay conservative"

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

A lot, apparently. Maybe that's what gave Thiel such a crazy brain.

I mean, not only should everyone know what Project 2025 is, they should also know what dementia donnie backers like Thiel really think about the rest of us:

They've said that of The Gays for over 70 years, how dense do you have to be to be shocked by that now?

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Because fascists expand their inclusivity to get into power, but will then pull that back, it's why for the 2016 elections they looked pro gay but anti trans but then after getting into power gay was no longer good.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 28 points 3 months ago

The scorpion and the frog.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

If you are a member of the LGBT+ community, an ally, or even someone who doesn't call those groups pedos... Well youre a pedo to the right wing.

Welcome, you'll hate it here.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

His name is Charles Moran.

I wasn't sure how to pronounce his name until I learned he was president of the Log Cabin Republicans. Then it became obvious.

[–] alucard@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

Gold. Happy cake day!

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Just another day for the face-hungry leopards

[–] teft@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

I wonder how many of these Log Cabin Republicans know about Ernst Rohm.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

This is leopards ate my face vibes

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Uncle Tom : I think these white folk might not be respecting me.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

Sweet lord. These people are idiots lmao.

Members of the Republican party are literally itching to start killing them and these fuckers start jazz handsing because they don't understand what they are reading or the company they keep.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Something something leopards eating MY face?!!!

[–] SYLOH@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Moran should replace the 'a' in his name with another 'o'.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Just wait to see how surprised ALL of these log cabin republicans will be if the cons get their way. It will be much more than just calling them a pedophile, FFS.

[–] Mastengwe@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

They just won’t ever come to realize that they’re the bad guys. And there’s no way to make them see it until they’re victims of their own hate.
