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!

So we really are just going straight for WWII Hitlers Germany huh?

[–] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Why not? He hasn't received the slightest amount of pushback at all. If everyone's just going to roll over anyway, might as well go for the big prize.

I'll bet Kapo Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller is as giddy as a schoolgirl right now.

Um, a judge sternly requested answers, thankyouverymuch

Ok, I might as well do something worth being sent to prison for before I’m sent there.

Who was Mario’s brother?

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 17 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Luigi. You can say his name here

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago

Say his name.

Oh I know. I’m not paranoid of being banned, I’m paranoid of digital footprints being used against me by a fascist administration.

Well, people are protesting Tesla because of Musk, hence Musk is a vandal towards Tesla's stock. I guess Trump should send Musk to El Salvador.

What in the hell garbage website is this?

[–] anon593839@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah, this is more of a tabloid; I should've found a better source before posting. Here's an Axios article about the same thing:

^I've updated the original post with this new link.

Hey, thanks! It's easy to assume it's some bot posting garbage these days, harder to be respectful and just ask for a better source.

I salute your efforts.

[–] anon593839@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

All good!

Tbh, "it's a bot posting AI slop" is prob a good default assumption these days.
