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!

Hillary Clinton sharing it in a Tuesday post on X and adding sarcastically “what a normal, relatable guy who certainly doesn’t hate women having freedoms.”

Hillary should do more snark. Lean into the right-wing hate instead of trying to rise above it.

B-B-But Jeebus said "show them both cheeks".

Oh, wait...,

"Lo, should thine enemies strike thine cheek, thou shalt goatse."

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 20 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

*thy

It's confusing because thine has two uses. One is as an adjective (as in "The enemies are thine") and the other is as a pronoun, but only before a word that starts with a vowel sound, so it would be "thine enemies" but "thy cheek". In that case, thy/thine works just like a/an.

Since your children should be your first priority, I'd say not having kids would mean you could put your job as number one.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 44 points 4 months ago (2 children)

The thing is she has kids, not biological, but still kids.

Vance creeped the rapist's poll numbers lower even before the Biden withdrawal.

He'd already cost the convicted felon. And every day gets better!

Who could have guessed that adding Hillbilly Idiot to Trump's ticket would make it more unpopular?

[–] MiltownClowns@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

So he's explicitly saying that a preacher confused him about his sexuality, not trans people. I wonder who he blames?

JD Vance would be the first gay VP though. Good on him.

I'll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I'm going to hell."

..... Every day, I find out some new idiocy about this man

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Republicans love this shit. I hope Democrats get out to vote!

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

The qon party is just chock full of creepy, creepy weirdos. Not one of them should ever be permitted into office.

What a bunch of freaks.

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 9 points 4 months ago

The party that loves to complain about virtue signaling uses their own children to do just that.

Trumps a joke of a candidate, they can’t even win against a ghoul anymore (their bet for this whole race)

Elon won’t even support anymore
