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!

Lindell has been embroiled in legal battles related to false claims he made about the 2020 presidential election.

Mike Lindell, MyPillow CEO, a candidate for Minnesota governor and a notorious ally of Donald Trump, was served with legal documents during a live TV interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Gaylord, Texas, on Thursday.

Lindell was speaking with a reporter from the far-right news outlet One America News when a woman interrupted the interview.

After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

Maga is so incredibly good at picking the biggest possible losers to rally behind

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 46 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Theyve got the pillow guy, the couch guy, and the kid raper. Fun group.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

And the puppy killer, and the douchy podcaster, and the richest man in the world that can't stop acting like he's on 4chan, Jewish space lasers lady, the woman that married the guy that exposed himself to her as a minor, and Ted Cruz

[–] grue@lemmy.world 29 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Jewish space lasers lady rage-quit because she finally got it through her dumbass skull that pedo-in-chief wasn't actually going after the pedos.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, I don't believe her. I think it's just a different grift, not a genuine change of heart.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 22 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

I believe that she was a QAnon true believer, but finally getting disillusioned from that doesn't somehow redeem her from continuing to be a vile piece of shit in every other possible way.

[–] School_Lunch@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I thought I remember reading that she wanted some kind of promotion, maybe a cabinet postition or something but was passed over, so she left that group of grifters to start her own.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

She wanted to be a senator, but Donny wouldn’t endorse her over some other republican asshole, plus I think she saw some of the Epstein stuff and was offended by it. But that could be just an attempt at revenge for the lack of endorsement

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 20 hours ago

She still believes all the MAGA nonsense, but her core issues were the Epstein Files and America First, and he just torched both of them. She represents a lot of MAGAs who feel betrayed.

But if Trump ran again, she would rationalize voting for him again, over even the most reasonable intelligent Democrat.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

well also we all saw the space balls documentary so we know they are real.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

What, you mean this? Nah, that was a Spaceball laser the Druish princess stole, not a Druish laser. Besides, I'm not convinced small-arms fire in an atmosphere counts as "space," even if it is inside a spaceship. And Druidia itself didn't appear to have any defenses at all, except the air shield.

"Druish space lasers" are 100% Spaceball propaganda, I guarantee it. Would I lie?

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 5 points 23 hours ago

It just gets funner...

[–] MunkyNutts@lemmy.world 19 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

And whatever these two weirdos are.

[–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Those hands in the middle, though. I can't take my eyes off them. It's like they're telling another, different story.

"Keep still, Their vision is based on morons."

[–] kinsnik@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

losers with no morals know that there is no easier, self-selecting mark for scams than the maga cult

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 22 hours ago

But somehow they always find a way to lower the bar

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Yeah there's really no best. It's just whoever is willing to make a fool of themselves on a national level and potentially go to prison.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

And then dumping them into the river the second the Orange Jackass is done using them.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 19 hours ago

No need to wait, I assure you.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Maga is so incredibly good at picking the biggest possible losers to rally behind

I always thought they perhaps started from better candidates, but even after the most simple vetting those candidates somehow fail ideological purity tests ( such as "candidate is great on white supremacy but poor on abortion, NEXT!") or some other bullshit maga metric, and what remains are people like Mr Lumpy Pillow.

[–] MrSelfDestruct25@fedinsfw.app 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

White supremacists in general.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Very cool user name, downward spiral is one of my top 5 personal favorite albums.

[–] MrSelfDestruct25@fedinsfw.app 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)
[–] moncharleskey@lemmy.zip 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

NIN gang rise up! Fragile is one of my all time favorite albums.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Finally got to see them a couple weeks ago. Cool show.

[–] moncharleskey@lemmy.zip 1 points 16 hours ago

Nice, I caught them a couple of times around With Teeth and had a blast!
