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!

Musk probably watched Stewart’s conservative show interview appearances over on YouTube, dating back to his first stint on the daily show. They couldn’t trip Stewart. He rolled over all of them. The interviews stopped, again, surprising no one.

What a fucking coward. I was actually excited for this. I should have known better.

He has nothing to gain from talking to intelligent people. They will easily show how dumb he is.

To be honest, I'm less disappointed by this than I am with his avoiding a good ass kicking by Zuck.

I stopped paying attention to asmon after he started openly supporting genocide of muslims and brown folk. Has he doubled down on that stance in the last few months?

Edit: downvotes from asmon stans on lemmy? Quick poll to the downvoters: what's your instance? I have a guess, but I want to see if I'm right.

He’s a mediocre gamer at best

Never been a fan. He shows up in my feed sometimes.

Recently someone called him Jew, prejoratively, and he not only was offended but like, really angrily corrected the record that he's German, ok? (I guess to him this is the opposite of Jewish?) and idk just the whole interaction and his demeanor in that moment was a bright red flag.

This was all in the wake of the Elon fake gamer shit. Maybe I read into that small interaction too much but my Nazi senses went 5 alarm.

I did a quick search after I made the comment, and noticed that he cut ties with otk after his genocide comments and has begun his transformation into full right wing nutjob. I'm not surprised he doubled down on being a shithead.

Asmongold looks like he smells of cum and teenage girl perfume

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 3 points 21 hours ago

That seems to be his appeal, if you can believe that. He serves as validation for a specific type of degenerate lifestyle I think moreso than his views.

What a surprise.
