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!

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s conspiracy theories, vitriolic language, and xenophobia have made her a darling of the right and a pariah on the left—and now, she’s gained admiration from Russian state television. 

Greene’s attempts to block aid to Ukraine, her criticisms of NATO, and her beliefs that the United States should withdraw from the alliance have drawn plaudits from TV hosts in Russia, The Daily Beast reported Friday.

She is clearly a shaved bear that Russia sent over.

The Neanderthal is genuinely more attractive. No wonder humans interbred with them. "Hey, gurl. You got a brow ridge that won't quit."

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Well, sure. The Neanderthal has probably been mostly thinking about roots and berries and such, whereas Marjorie...

I think MTG is more repellant than that nasty garbage juice that collects at the bottom of a public trash bin on a hot day, BUT it's not any woman's responsibility to be attractive in order to be respected. There are plenty of reasons to dislike her.

And now I have to hate myself for a little while for defending Moron Troglodyte Grundleberry.

It's not nice to insult someone for their appearance, but it's okay to not be nice to evil people.

What the FUCK did Magic The Gathering ever do to you, eh?

(Let's pretend there's a little ^/s^ there on case anyone needs it)

a buddy told me that she has Ron Perlman face and now i think about it every time i see her.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hey, no! Ron Perlman is ruggedly handsome and a decent guy who correctly described DeSantis as a Nazi pig!

[–] tattletaletimes@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I'm not throwing shade at him! As a man, the face is badass. As a woman, it's gnarly and gross.

I don't think anyone in the world would want her mouth bigger😁

Unlikely, the bears are generally more coherent.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Bears are fucking awesome. Green margarine is not

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Good point, that too.
