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!

"It's not the leopard fault they are hungry, and my face tastes so good. They're still my favorite animal."

Honestly, how can she call herself a Christian and be in the MAGA cult?

“The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.”

Leviticus 19:34

"I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive."

2 Timothy 4:3-4

If she's a MAGA christian, she's in two cults.

The obvious answer to your question is that she's prone to falling prey to cults.

Aprineh is a convicted felon

Fucking idiot. Who did she think they were going to go after first?

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 5 points 17 hours ago

6 year olds with leukemia?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Iranian. And xtian. I bet she thinks she is considered an honorary white person, and because she's xtian, she's one of the "good ones".

Stephen Miller enters the chat....even though that guy is Jewish, he seems to have an Aryan's view of things...

"He's doing the right thing because lots of these people don't deserve to be here," Arpineh told the BBC over the phone from the Adelanto immigrant detention centre in California's Mojave Desert.

"I will support him until the day I die. He's making America great again."

Okay, bye!

"I don't blame Trump, I blame Biden," Arthur says. "It's his doing for open borders, but I believe in the system and all the good people will be released and the ones that are bad will be sent back."

While many of those detained do not have criminal records, Aprineh is a convicted felon, which makes her a prime target for removal.

Yep, bye! I mean, that's terrible, I'm sorry you're going through that but then that's what you wanted. So. Okay?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

LOL, Biden had "open borders". When was that, exactly?

JFC, these people are so stupid.

[–] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 16 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

If this isn't proof that trump supporters are brain damaged I don't know what is

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

They are a cult. If Taco tells these people to cut their own nuts off, many of them will. As long as Taco tells them it is to "own the libs" or "fight the deep state" or something.

All this group needs is an identifying bit of gear, like black Nikes. Oh wait, they have fucking stupid red hats many of them wear (and they effectively ruined that color for a baseball hat, by the way). Never mind.

Someday he's gonna publicly burn the constitution and these people will think it's a perfectly logical way to protect what America stands for

[–] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

It's close, but it's still not as good as Trump supporters praising MAGA and denying COVID exists as they are literally taking their dying breaths.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

These idiots made 4 kids.

Hopefully she gets exactly what she voted for. I wish her and her family nothing but the worst of her own intentions.

[–] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 hours ago

Their children did not choose to crawl out of of her

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago

An utterly moronic thing to say.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Proving once again, if there was still a need, that MAGAts aren't the brightest candles on the chandelier.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Or as their cult leader has said, not the sharpest bulbs.

[–] iMastari@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Wasn't she in that movie Idiocracy?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Face palm.

I just keep thinking of that "here's your sign" guy, although, ironically, Bill Engvall is probably a teabagging qon.
