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!

She must be so pissed, gonna make him sleep on the bed

[–] miraclerandy@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago

This took me a second but got a good chuckle. Thank you

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 25 points 1 day ago

Good joke. Everybody laugh.

Seriously gave me a good chuckle after days.

“But I finally got the cushion stretched out just the way I like it!!!”

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 160 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This woman chose to marry this sad excuse for a human being. She deserves no pity.

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 61 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wonder how she can sleep. Like if the order was given to kill any non Christian non white, does she really think Vance wouldn't?

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Money makes a comfy pillow.

[–] alaphic@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago

Also, we know she has the bed to herself a majority of the time, what with him sleeping ~~with~~ on the couch so much...

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 6 points 17 hours ago

She is a beard and is probably being paid very handsomely.

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 57 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I would prefer to be led by adults

Than by children with an Invisible Friend in the Sky

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Hey leave the children out of this, plenty of them are smart enough that they figure it out on their own.

I think some people are forgetting something.

She's a woman. She's not white. Her religion is basically meaningless to these creatures.

This is part of the show. She is less than Vance to MAGA. Because she is a woman, and not white, the ultimate proof of her subservience to Vance is if she ALSO converts officially to (whatever faith he calls himself 🤮).

This is to show MAGAts that they can claim non-white women as their own property and make them do what they want. From what I understand from my Hispanic friends is that this is already underway with ICE kidnappings. Women, in particular, are separated. I can't speak Spanish, so I can't actually verify the translation.

The suspicion is that the "white replacement fear" is being fought by sterilizing the kidnapped women, or forcing them to bear white children (the traditional Nazi way too! Rape.) . The men are incarcerated, deported, or otherwise removed.

I can verify that publicly posting ICE locations on Facebook or mentioning antifacism will get your account banned and related accounts flagged as "suspected to have links to a known terrorist organization."

It should be fairly obvious that while it might be non-white women today, tomorrow it will be white women.

Of course any white man like me that speaks of the horrors and continues to dissent will undoubtedly be targeted. There is ONE single weapon that is effective in the war on fascism. Knowledge.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The weapons to fight fascism are weapons.

[–] edible_funk@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

This machine kills fascists.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And how do you expect people to fight back if they don't know how to.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

With guns. I literally just said it wtf.

While true theres a reason most war gods have knowledge connotations or are also gods of knowledge. Warfare without intellect or wisdom is doomed to fail. Which is more effective throwing ten guys against a thousand or whittling that thousand down through attrition tactics until they break.

[–] edible_funk@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

White christians have been sterilizing brown people for hundreds of years.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 2 points 21 hours ago

That's why it's not hard to believe in the slightest.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

I still use Facebook and pretty much only post anti fascist takes to purposely fight against friends and family members posting hateful shit. I chose to stay on as a voice against.

I haven’t been banned yet.

Hang on, another Charlie kirk event??

[–] Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 16 hours ago

A rotting corpse would be fitting for a MAGA event.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 7 points 10 hours ago

Of course. Got to beat that horse to death.

Maybe if James converted to Hindu he'd be less of a dickhead.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

He'd have to face karma, though.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 9 hours ago

I can't wait for his karma to get settled.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

Well if she does she'd probably be better at any religion than her husband who converted to catholicism then insisted on picking fights with a dying pope, killing him.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

This guy sure knows how to keep a family happy

[–] alaphic@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jesus christ, how much therapy are these kids gonna need? They've already had to watch their father apologize to fucking white supremacists for his wife not being white during the campaign, if they haven't already I'm sure they're destined to hear incessantly about him fucking couches, this shit now, and I'm sure somewhere around 500k other things I've already forgotten about by now

Fucken wild, I say some shit like that my nuts would be in a vice in 0.4 seconds flat. These dudes all need nose punches and partners who are willing to really grip those nuts.

[–] alaphic@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

I saw a meme once that put it better than I ever could:

Some people just need a high five. In the face. With a chair.

[–] etherphon@midwest.social 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

What a performative asshole, he's about as Christian as Charlie Manson.

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

you mean MK ULTRA subject charile manson

[–] fittedsyllabi@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

Ah, so he referred to it like it’s some kind of gang, right? White power?

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Someone's sleeping on the couch tonight! Oh wait, that's not punishment to him

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Couch abuse is not joke. Every day thousands of couches are neglected, unloved, abused, and misunderstood.

You can make a difference though! Consider joining the People Against Vance Fucking Everyone's Couch Society (PAVFECS).

For the cost of a cup of coffee once a day you can ensure that couches have the help and protection they need to avoid Vance fucking them. We here at PAVFECS know that every couch, even ones fucked by Vance, deserve a better life. Join today!

God, what an asshole.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

How'd this freak score a looker like Usha anyway?

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 8 points 9 hours ago

Because she's a terrible person.

I think this really shows how shallow their marriage really is, that's the sort of topic you discuss Privately with your spouse, not publicly shame them. Yikes

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

This I kinda don't get, in that this is probably the most vanilla thing you'd expect to hear from basically anyone of any religion about their spouse not following it.
