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!

Nothing helps stop Trump bleeding support from the senior woman demographic quite like a young whippersnapper punching a 70-year-old woman to the ground for her support of Harris.

When I think of conservatives, I always think of youths sucker punching old Asian women in the back of the head because of Covid. This is typical.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 17 points 10 hours ago

A minor, get his shitty MAGAT parents in the courtroom too.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

just MAGAt shit.

Domestic terrorist. She was attacked by a domestic terrorist. This crime would seem to meet the DHS definition.

We need to start calling this crap what it is.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

Damn right it does. This individual needs to be charged and prosecuted.

How very Florida.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 18 points 14 hours ago

What an absolute weak turd holy hell.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

more of that to come if the angry orange gets installed

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Or if he doesn't.

There's going to be violence. More people will die because of him, and i can't do anything about it and I'm going insane.

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

We can't accept that as inevitable. I don't like it either but there has to be some way that we can avoid this "there's gonna be civil war" discourse, because all it does is wind people up

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Not a war. But definitely some level of rioting and domestic terrorism.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 30 points 19 hours ago

Glad he is charged. What a jackass.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago

I'm going to stand in line to vote tomorrow...should I take my can of Fox 5.3?

[–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 273 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Big tough guy sucker punched an old lady. Trump would be proud if it were possible for him to give a shit about anyone but himself.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 313 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Not only that:

According to witnesses, Bossio said, the 17-year-old was walking away from a separate altercation with a male Harris supporter when he struck Tomasko and knocked her to the ground.

He did it because he was pissed at a male supporter but was too big of a wuss to throw hands with someone who could plausibly fight back, so to solve that, he sucker-punched an old lady. They're not just abusive garbage, they're pathetic cowards.

About as courageous as his role model.

[–] skeezix@lemmy.world 58 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Trump supporters are lower than snake shit.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I told my coworker today that there is no good trump supporter. They'll are either ignorant, selfish, or vile. The first group i dont blame because they're idiots, the other 2 groups can go fuck off to the void.

[–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 5 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

The scared, stupid, and selfish model. You don't have to be all three, but any one of them and Trump will take advantage of it to bring you over.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago

I am all three but I am still not a vile enough piece of shit to choose Donald.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (11 children)

You're missing the vile people. There are people looking forward to the next Civil war. Saddly my aunt is one so i know it must be more common then we all would hope.

Snakes at least keep rat populations under control

Trump enthusiasts generally are rats

Not these ones. Some of these ones think there are Jewish space lasers and wear sanitary pads on their ears to impress the king rat.

The lil shit isn't even old enough to vote

He's certainly old enough to get real time if they try him as an adult for aggravated assault.

[–] Shirasho@lemmings.world 84 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At this rate he will never be able to vote.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Honestly, I hope he gets to vote in the future. Everyone should serve their punishment and get the chance to learn from it.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 hours ago

You should just never lose it. Voting isn't a privilege to be awarded for good behavior, never mind that laws are sometimes themselves unjust and often disproportionately applied. Should people in prison for weed possession be unable to express their opinion about whether weed should be illegal?

Voting is both important and generally not that critical. The idea matters a lot more than the actual impact most votes have. There's just not much in the way of compelling benefit to denying prisoners their vote and plenty of risk of the law, either intentionally or unintentionally, being an implement that can affect who gets to vote on the people that make and enforce the law.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago

Emotionally I dislike your reply. Logically it’s correct. What good is “paying your debt to society” but never being forgiven when you live a better life after punishment.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 95 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don’t need to keep being reminded that Trump supporters are the absolute worst pieces of shit on the planet.

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 50 points 1 day ago (4 children)

But, we can’t ever forget.

Little dummy must’ve been watching Andrew Tate.

[–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 106 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Oh, 100%, society is underestimating the terrible influence Tate, Peterson, and similar grifters are having on men (especially younger men).
