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!

This is like, at least 2 cuills past the “are we the baddies” meme

Edit: I’m so glad some people know about cuills lol

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 21 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

When the government bans the word “injustice” you should be shitting yourself no matter how racist/sexist/transphobic you are. Justice matters to straight white men too.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

What is the source for this list, please?

I need to share it with conservatives and listen to them try to justify it.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 15 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Source is the New York Times as referenced in the posted article. Here is an archived link so you can read it without a paywall.

sexuality is a scary word here

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 13 points 19 hours ago

I'd argue that any time any word is banned by any government, it's scary.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

All of the above words must be replaced with "Aladeen".

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 3 points 19 hours ago

I'll have to watch that movie. But for now, I'm just going to fucking speak my mind.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Healthy actually can be said but they have a much different definition of it.

What can't be said is illness, disease, frailty.

Trump himself sees disease, old age, and frailty as weakness. It's part of why he is so obsessed with arguing that he is actually young and healthy.

So old age should be on your list as well. In his mind, he is immortal.

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

In his mind, he is immortal.

So, barely surviving COVID only compounded that?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

If reports are true that he wanted to rip his shirt open to reveal a Superman t-shirt underneath... yeah.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/10/03/donald-trump-superman-shirt-covid/8169263001/

Trump planned to be wheeled out of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he went after testing positive for COVID-19 in 2020, before standing up and opening his button-down shirt to reveal the Superman logo, according to Haberman’s book “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America.” Axios reported on Haberman’s book's coverage of the incident, and the Times initially reported calls made about the appearance in 2020.

Most powerful nation in the world, poor should not be in our vocabulary. :(

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 10 points 16 hours ago

oh man. he's going to do it, isn't he? placing bets now, trump will say "nigger" in some official government setting.

[–] FreeRangeMustard@lemm.ee 8 points 20 hours ago

He looks like a bitter old fuck. Same expression my grandma always had.
