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!

Oh my god, they wouldn't consider genocide would they?!

[–] Glasgow@lemmy.ml 8 points 7 months ago

Now they’re gonna do super genocide and expand to Greater Israel

To the people who stayed home or voted 3rd party because they claimed to care about the people of Gaza.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 28 points 7 months ago

If Israel cared about hostages being released, they would have handled it by now. They've given up on saving the hostages, and just using them as an excuse to massacre civilians.

Oh but haven't you heard? No wars under Trump. Trump will end it as soon as he takes office, or so I heard from some voters dumb enough to no longer be in my life.

Is it possible a deal is nearing, and Donald Trump is posturing to take credit for it?

[–] EndOfLine@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago

The Biden administration has been working since last year with Israel and international mediators, including Qatar and Egypt, on a cease-fire deal that would include release of the hostages.

I'm sure this is just a coincidence and all that was really needed to end the conflict was an old man yelling "Don't make me come in there".

After all, Hamas has such a long history of being scared of the US and trying to avoid poking that particular bear. /s

More likely he is posturing to take credit for whatever he can regardless of the outcome.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Yup, we elected Trump again. And there'll be Hell Toupee.

Isn't this the fascist that called prisoners of war losers? As if he gives two shits about hostages...

[–] Zier@fedia.io 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

LOL! Fat Donnie will help Netanyahoo delete Gaza. What a scum!

[–] whithom@discuss.online 1 points 7 months ago

ML: but what about genocide Joe?!?!

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

"Trump for peace"

[–] BMTea@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Gazans with infected amputation wounds starving in tents: "Oh no! He'll take away our 1 daily piece of bread."

He will build a golf course on all that newly available beach front property.
