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!

Snopes is going to have to update their article about this.

Nothing weird about this bunch of so-called "Americans".

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Americans"

Don't sugar coat it. They're as real an American as I am. More actually, because they like being an American.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I love being an American; I don't like what these so-called Americans - who seemingly have no idea what freedom truly means - are trying to do to my America. These people would be better off in some theocratic state, even if it means they stop talking about Jesus and swap to another Abrahamic religion. Their values are not American values.

Has anyone been able to verify that he actually said this? The story stems from a Twitter post, and Miller apparently did do an interview on Newsmax on that date. But did he really say this? I'm suspicious because only that one source seems to be available.

NEVERMIND... Talking Points Memo noticed it also

Will they send the SWAT team if you miss your period?

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

You gotta bleed somehow...

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

To think they found a position that is morally reprehensible from every possible angle, under all interpretations, and also involves bodily fluids, that's somehow amazing.

[–] recapitated@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I haven't opened alternet.org since probably 1999. Nice to see they're still banging around.

I hope people set up groups, if they actually make those departments, whose sole purpose is to cause as much damage to their servers as possible.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Servers. Sure, we’ll add those.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Hey I mean if my state makes a law to hunt down and let's say, disappear, people with the name "Jason Miller" then who's Trump or Jason Miller to do with it?
