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!

Of course, anyone who questions it is an antisemite. Ridiculous.

Biden has now drawn a line in the sand.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Assume this is sarcasm, or do you mean he really really really really means it this time?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Biden COULD have just not said anything on this one. Instead he doubles down on his support for the genocidal maniac, Netanyahu, that is dragging him down in the polls.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

He's completely irrational on this one, which is pretty scary honestly. It feels like some Roman Emperor shit where everyone is just stuck looking on in horror as he lets the senate house burn down or whatever because he doesn't want to admit it's on fire.

I fully agree with the ICC, no one is above the law, especially when your killing innocent people for a stupid war. Remember, all wars start with lies. However, I will still choose the Democrats over the fucked up Government of Putin candidates, who lead us down a path of destruction.

This man does not want to win and he said many times he is a proud Zionist. There is no changing his mind.

Sadly I view this as a “net zero” situation. Trump would also abandon Palestine along with Ukraine and Taiwan, so in this instance it doesn’t matter who you end up voting for, but getting Trump has many, many more negatives. So I hope people aren’t using this as their hill to die on for their vote otherwise it puts us in a much worse situation.

"ElectricTrombone Slams thehill.com over the overuse of slams."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh no. It's slams all the way down.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

in there, tucked between two slams, is a dunk

Welcome to the jam

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

You know who is outrageous right now?

That’s you Biden.

Is there going to be arrest warrants for Putin. It’s going to be a long list

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

A warrant for Netanyahu would be a good idea even if there were some other people at large that we should also be arresting.

But also, in this case Putin already has an ICC warrant. It's caused some issues in the past because e.g. he couldn't attend a diplomatic meeting in South Africa and there was some question about, if he just shows up anyway, are they really going to arrest him as they're required to do, and then it'll be a real shit storm.

From what I remember, he blinked and decided not to show up.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

There already is one for Putin and at least one subordinate.

Let's go Brandon!

The only outrageous thing is that Biden's name isn't on the list, too

For putting his shoes on first and socks on second

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I would say that if he can do that and still have his socks be inside the shoes, I'd call him a magician, instead.
