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!

She's mad that true Queens can be so beautiful while she doesn't know how to contour her Neanderthal facial features.

[–] Esqplorer@lemmy.zip 37 points 4 months ago

I don't even say this to be insulting, but if she weren't famous, these bans would absolutely be impacting her personally.

If I saw Marge walk out of a woman's restroom, and I was small minded enough to give a shit, she would not pass.

Hey now thats an insult to those of us with Neanderthal facial features, we dont want to be associated with the inbred Cro-Magnon.

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

I'm sorry, I dont make the rules.

They look like my 2x great aunt. Also still better than the abiotic sludge that is Greene.

She is a blob of Silly Putty in a dress.

[–] underwire212@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Don’t be dissing my silly putty like that 😤. At least silly putty can be molded to be tolerant toward others.

I believe the proper term is ‘bleach blond bad built butch body’

When I was younger and going to clubs, one club in particular always had drag queens just hanging out in the women’s restroom doing their makeup, talking, whatever, because it had a long mirror/makeup area.

They’d use the bathroom and we would share makeup tips and they were just so funny and having the best time and everyone loved them.

No one felt threatened ffs

DRAQ QUEENS TERRIFY ME! I'd MUCH rather be surrounded by Trigger Happy Legally Murderous Police Officers or Child Raping Priests!

[–] Zier@fedia.io 4 points 4 months ago

Run for Congress and all your dreams can come true.

People aren’t as afraid as she wants them to be. Some of them are, and some are just amped up for violence because something is wrong with them, but for the real horror shows to begin next year if Trump wins, ordinary people (like millions of them) have to be frightened enough, maybe not to take part in anything highly irregular, but enough that it won’t bother them that they know it’s going on. Because after all, these are desperate times.

On some level she knows this, she can feel that the tenor of the times just isn’t matching how she needs it to be, just as birds know when it is time to fly to a new place for the winter. I doubt she understands all the reasons and implications any more than the birds do.

But she can feel that it’s wrong, and so she’s trying to just tell people: Be scared. Be more scared. I command it.

She is not undangerous as she is, but she would be a lot more dangerous if she were more cunning.

Drag queens rage at scary Marjorie Taylor Greene lobbying Congress and demand protection

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

People show up with the gallows and fling shit on the walls... Pass

People wearing clothing... Needs protection.

[–] Malfeasant@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

People wearing fabulous clothing

If she’s intimidated, she should use her experience as a CrossFit instructor and get the drag queens to lift weights as fast as possible with terrible form so they all get injured.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Christ, what a Karen.

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