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!

It’s crazy. Think about how dumb she is. The people that voted again for her, must be even dumber. And she got enough votes to win.

The people that voted again for her

She changed districts before the election so it was a completely new group of morons that elected her this time. Don't worry though, we elected a slightly less embarrassing Republican to fill her spot.

Ah, progress!

Have these people not played XCom: Terror from the Deep? Underwater space aliens are an extremely serious threat that cannot be overlooked!

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

You’re laughing. Lobstermen are terrorizing a cruise ship and you’re laughing!

[–] So_zetta_slowpoke@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah and it's impossible to win against them unless you're following the bug avoidance guide.

"Boebert clearly left the hearing without her answers on aliens but said she is looking forward to working with the incoming Trump administration to get to the bottom of this alien hybrid human thing and those underwater alien cities."

Should I be worried about an insane politician babbling about underwater civilizations and horrors defying description of the weak minded? Shes clearly on a mission to stop the Old Ones.

Idk, if they are focused on that then they won't do as much real damage.

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, until they enrage The Great Old Ones, and then we're all fucked.

This is clickbait the whole hearing is about UFOs or UAPS and its a bipartisian effort. I think all the congress people asked the wrong questions at that hearing thought.

The Abyss created the "liquid" CGI technology that was later used in Terminator 2, to make the liquid metal T-1000.

Lots of far more intelligent and reputable officials are also talking about this, but Boebert gets news clicks because haha laugh at the dumb lady.

The report on the Immaculate Constellation government program that was released yesterday is very interesting.

We don’t mention that term. Do you want to be on a list?

I want XCOM 3 to come out as well, but maybe keep that out of politics?

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Avatar is just a movie Congresswoman. Not real.
