...US congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar said she was "disgusted" by the "racist comment". She said it did not "reflect the GOP values""...

You sure about that Maria?

It sure did, Maria. That's why he was invited by the RNC

Yeah, when your party's candidate for president, a former president, has this group of fascists on stage with him, and doesn't make a peep about it, it most definitely reflects GOP values.

If nine people are sitting at a table, and a Nazi sits down with them, and nobody gets up, there are now 10 Nazis at that table.

In this case, it's more appropriately "If hundreds of Nazis organize a Nazi rally to support a Nazi candidate, everyone who chooses to attend is a Nazi. Those who choose to pee in a bottle while waiting in line are double-Nazi."

Using the transitive property of Naziism, you are correct!

And any decent New Yorker knows you just piss right on the sidewalk. That’s what it’s there for!

Then who makes all those pee bottles?

[-] superkret@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

Trump-branded $50 pee bottles when?

That’s just what we call any water that is not the amazing New York City tap water— the champagne of municipal water.

Edit: for those unaware, NYC tap water comes from a spring in the Adirondacks and Catskill mountains via a giant aqueduct. It’s the most delicious water in the world, right out of your faucet.

The GOP continues to feel shocked by the views of their peers and then do nothing about it.

Weak.

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!
