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

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!

Bottom bitch got his orders.

Billionaires threatened to cut his money train. He’s always been a stooge to dark money.

[–] lol_idk@piefed.social 60 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Has his face been Charlie Kirked?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago

I thought that at first too but this is his real face. It is actually this tiny.

[–] vegeta@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

TIL

Charlie Kirk's face is exactly 10% smaller than normal.

Enlarged 20%, Charlie Kirk looks like Adam Driver.

Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon are pitching a special prosecutor to look into the Epstein stuff.. who do they support to do it? Matt Gaetz. You know, the guy who also traffics underage women for sex. Why would you want something like that one would ask? Child rapists investigating child rapists? Simple... If Gaetz doesn't manipulate the investigation in a manner that goes the way Trump wants it too, the DOJ can charge and convict him of trafficking and having sex with an underage girl for money, because they never formally charged him previously.... It's not much of a reach to say it was just blackmail they were putting aside to ensure his full cooperation after swearing him in Attorney General. (Thankfully he wasn't)

I mean I hope/wish it was a joke

“Matt Gaetz would be the best,” former Trump strategist Steve Bannon said on stage with conservative activist Charlie Kirk at this weekend’s Turning Point USA summit.

“Matt Gaetz would be a no brainer, right?” Kirk added to rapturous applause by the crowd.

He certainly has the experience in trafficking underaged girls.

I think you've just coined 2025's tagline.

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

The defense I’ve seen start to pop up on 4chan’s /pol/ board, which has had a fairly big impact on politics/conspiracy theories, is that the girls were “only” 14 and might have had sex before (some of the victims who’ve spoken publicly described having experienced sexual abuse before.) Some of the girls “participated” in trafficking others, being paid to bring friends with them.

There are several in the alt right and conservative spaces who do think it is ideal for men to marry teenage girls. Many parts of the states where child marriage is legal (with minors also unable to file for divorce).

With the attack on women’s rights - the same types literally want to abolish the 19th amendment, several conservatives have proposed the idea of “family votes,” at least five women are dead because of the end of Roe with more likely but states are actively refusing to investigate/are covering up these deaths, the attacks on “no fault” divorce, the alt right hysteria/obsession with birth rates…

We have concentration camps now, for people who are in the country legally. All bets are off. I’m wondering if it’ll be more than just the 4chan degenerates suggesting that raping teenage girls is an acceptable thing to do.

Cool, cause that's how that works... keep fucking asking

[–] seaQueue@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's almost as if he has zero principles and just repeats what he's told to, who'd have guessed?

[–] ExtremeDullard 13 points 1 week ago

MAGA people have zero principles, otherwise they wouldn't be MAGA.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

Oh, look, another pedophile apologist.

The issue isnt that Trunp is on the lost. We have photos.

The issue is all the other nameless faceless republican Mega donors that are on the list and the liability disclosure has on them, if their victims can now name them.

[–] Kurious84@eviltoast.org 15 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I don't know this guy. I'm not sure which side he's in favor of.

The only thing I get is his face has a tucker Carlson type of punchable arrogant face.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Charlie Kirk got famous through Turning Point USA, a political group targeting young voters, spreading stupid political memes as conservative propaganda.

There’s many videos of him setting up a booth at college campuses and debating college students on their liberal or progressive viewpoints.

[–] KarlHungus42@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Your initial reaction is accurate. He's a massive piece of shit.

Just another bootlick, toeing the line.

Although I'm glad to see that not every Tacolover is this obedient, at least on this one issue.

They were so fucking sure that Taco the rapist was going to get all the pedos, who they assumed were all Democrats, LOL. And now these assholes are gaslighting the ever-living fuck out of the Tacolovers and saying there is nothing to see here on Epstein. After they spent years and years on the qanon shit, the "Storm" nonsense, the "save the children" stuff, and so on. And now they are being told by their spray-tanned god-emperor that there is nothing to see here....Kirk might have folded, but I don't know about the rest of the magats.

Spineless jellyfish says what?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago

He exposed his bare buttocks in submission.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

Gee I hope nobody relentlessly badgers him about it at all of his public appearances

[–] carlossurf@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

This is guy a conartist

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

He doesn’t get to decide how my conversations go. Fuck off.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

One thing Alex Jones got right. These Republicans all have dirt on each other and its all pedophilia.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Republicans are NOT Pedophiles but they LOVE Protecting Them!

[–] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They probs are.

Jeffrey Epstein was not the only dude with a list. Wouldn't be surprised if Trump (and his mates) have their own lists to use as mutually assured destruction.

Let's talk about Charlie's itchy anus that he had to tweet about. Does he have to scratch it a lot? Is it because he has parasites or does not wipe well?

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 8 points 1 week ago

We’re not done.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Just because you look like a kid doesn't man he'll fuck you, chuckles.

"...which part, specifically?"

Of course you are bitch, because your handlers and masters told you to move on.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Now there's a good little face, staying loyal to his overlords. I'm sure a big burst of shill money will flow in any day for this, Charlie.
