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!

BUTTHOLE SUN,

Won’t you come?

And wash away the rain?

(Edit: forgot lyrics changed ‘tears’ to ‘rain’ apologies.)

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

[–] jobby 1 points 5 months ago

I’ll spill some too, next time I have one. We’ll be even.

A 2021 survey by the Public Religion Research Institute found that 23% of Republicans believe that “the government, media and financial worlds in the U.S. are controlled by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles.”

I'm torn between thinking "Well, Marx didn't think of that" and "it's predictable that during the death throes of hypercapitalism the proletariat may get a bit fuzzy-headed."

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I ain't a pedophile, but I wish I controlled part of the government, media, and/or financial worlds.

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Remove the Satan-worshipping part and it's correct though

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Exsqueeze me, baking powder, it sounded like you just said butthole sunners. I, uh... I need an adult.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

I was thinking Butthole Surfers at first, but upon second inspection, it really was sunners. Hope they wear lotion. That'd be a rough spot to get a burn.

[–] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Gives a whole new meaning to ring burn 🔥 😅

[–] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 4 points 5 months ago

Apparently it has a significant chance of "aggressive ass cancer".

[–] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Hi, I'm an adult. Let's go to the beach, I'll explain.

Butthole Sunners

Sounds like a cover band.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

I was just formulating the album name, Eccentric Hairyland.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I always appreciate some Butthole Surfers.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

You should hear their rendition of "Ring of Fire".

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Or a parody of a Soundgarden song

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

So. The question is….

Can I resist my morbid curiosity and. It click to find out wtf a buthole sunner is.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Kinda exactly what it sounds like lol

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

The picture of the dude sticking his ass up makes it worth the click still lol

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 2 points 5 months ago

Some people take "where the sun don't shine" as a challenge it seems

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

They're like butthole surfers, but prefer to stay on the spectator side.

[–] bquintb@midwest.social 6 points 5 months ago

Butthole sunning: An important, new holistic practice

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

If getting a complete tan is wrong I dont want to be right

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago
