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!

Each and every time I see Kissingers name in an article title, for the briefest of moments I’m filled with hope, and each and every time I am disappointed to not see the words “has died” immediately after

Sorry to disappoint. I would have preferred that article too, except we'll get endless praise from right-wing fucknuts when it happens. They'll deify the bastard.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Of course they will, but it will still make me a little happy once he stops outliving people that deserve death much less than he does

The secret to long life was the blood of the innocent all along.

That war criminal deserves way more than a confrontation.

Dump his ass on the tarmac of a Laos airport and then fly away.

Dude is king of the ghouls, Behind the Bastards had a super in depth 5 or 6 part series about this monstrosity.

They will have to bury this fucker in an unmarked grave. The line of people who will piss on it is miles and miles and miles long.

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

Just piss? Where's the line for the other stuff?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (32 children)

It hasn't happened often enough.

In many decades’ time, when the “is Kissinger even in this damn thing” cartoon meme has kept reemerging for each famous obituary, people will get increasingly suspicious.

Kick him in the nuts.
