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!

Congratulations! Welcome to... The List

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 4 points 8 hours ago

If everybody is on the list, nobody is on the list.

[–] BC_viper@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

Well at least its not the epstein list.

It's times like these I'm glad I'm not on Reddit anymore.

Yeah they’d be modded and banned for sure. That’s how I found this place! Here people can express their true opinions. I’m definitely on some lists myself haha. But seriously, it’s an opinion. He’s not actively calling for violence or anyone to actually do it, but I also agree he deserves to have his throat slit. He’s caused much more pain and suffering needlessly upon an innumerable amount of people. Those Epstein files, fucking disgusting. Throat slitting is the least of which he deserves. His crimes are beyond atrocious and treasonous.

I still hold the belief that prion disease (like CJD) is the best way for him to go. It has several advantages over getting his throat slit:

  • Someone with a slit throat will die on the spot. Someone with CJD will experience a slow and painful death over several months as they lose control of their body.
  • Trump no doubt has so much security that someone going for the throat is impossible. Prions can appear for anybody; it doesn't matter how careful you are.
  • Related to the above, Trump would spend his last months doing everything in his power to cure himself of prion disease. But literally nothing would be able to save him.
  • And when Trump dies of prion disease, his brain could be donated to science, so that scientists can research more on how prions work. I'm sure Trump would hate that.

Unless it's the security who does it...

Couldn't be donated without his consent, so no.

[–] I_Jedi@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

Oh, you never know. I can see a conservatorship donating his brain.

No, right this second. Every delay is another life lost.
