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!

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that all the guys going from scamming you on infomercials into politics seem to end up in the same party. I'm going to count televangelists in that too.

"Failed actor with problematic past --> Right wing grifter decrying wokism" pipeline

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Really is bizarre how common that is.

Says stupid and hateful things, then complains that other people don't want to hear/see it...and makes themselves the victims because of it.

The conservative playbook.

“I'm like you know what, I'm going go run for Congress. This is crazy because that's kind of like discrimination! Like putting you in the back of the bus, or you know, 'hey, you're Jewish, go into the bathroom, here's a ham sandwich.' It's like, illegal!”

To clarify, the video is still up on YouTube...

The "discrimination" is he thinks it should have millions of views. And instead it only has 35k.

Still up, for now. Now that we all know it's an unauthorized take on Ghostbusters, Columbia Pictures might have an opinion on whether it should stay up....

Speaking of being Jewish, does this guy not realize that his party will eventually get around to getting HIM as part of their "anti-woke" agenda?

Sure, it's all fun and games, I suppose, when you are a targeted minority that is dunking on the next rung down, but....the conservatives will eventually run out of trans to attack (forced into the closet, deported/fled to other countries, or in prison, or worse), and Jews like him will be right there.

It's almost like people such as himself stubbornly refuse to learn a fucking thing from history....

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

You've gotta hand it to conservatives. They really are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet....

"I know! I'll make up this new term THOUGHTISM which will protect us from discrimination based on our beliefs"

"LMFAO WOKEISM GET FUKT RE*ARDS"

Fuck off back to Israel then.

Shoulda stuck to stupid consumer products, Vince. Now I won't buy anything I see your dumb face near.

I don't know if the plastic in his face is causing problems with his brain, or if the problems with his brain caused him to put plastic in his face. But either way, he looks super weird shaped now. And the brain problems speak for themselves.

That sex worker should have kept biting.
