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!

The U.S. government is trying to figure out a way to pay people for reporting on anyone who supports trans lives.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed the FBI to create a cash reward system for information leading to the arrest of leaders of so-called “domestic terrorist organizations,” a category the Justice Department now says includes people and groups associated with what it calls “radical gender ideology,” according to a December 4 memorandum.

The guidance operationalizes National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, issued by Donald Trump in September, by ordering federal prosecutors and law enforcement agencies to prioritize investigations and prosecutions tied to an expansive definition of domestic terrorism. Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein first reported on the memo's existence on Tuesday, after it was leaked.

Among the ideologies flagged are “adherence to radical gender ideology,” along with positions favoring mass migration, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, and hostility toward “traditional views on family, religion, and morality,” the memo states.

Pam Bondi will eventually suffer the same fate as "Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS".

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She'll watch over a Sheik's harem? Become the warden at a psychiatric hospital? Be topless in Siberia?

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Her own people will finish her.

[–] SereneSadie@quokk.au 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Maybe she should follow the example of Bondi Beach.

:)

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Ugly fuckin’ people.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

These fucking pussies are so insecure and hateful they spend their entire fucking lives dedicated to their obsession with their insecurities and hatred.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

Her Aryan roots are showing.

Not much longer now I might actually be able to request asylum where I moved to...

[–] Bryllyg@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

As long as the drone that strikes me is using ammo made by Raytheon... Because anything less would be an insult.

Christianity needs to be made illegal and punishable with life in prison

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’ve said this before: try going to an open and affirming church and telling them that they hate the trans people in their pews because the church down the street does.

“Christianity” is a big umbrella.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Those people are decent in spite of their religion, not because of.

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

Historical Jesus was pretty woke. Unfortunately, most of Christianity instead follows the teachings of some guy named Paul… who didn’t even know Jesus!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

So woke that he was surrounded by slavery, yet never had anything negative to say about it 👍

[–] I_Jedi@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

Sometimes I feel Christianity was usurped by the variant of Christianity in the Inquisitor Cycle (and related video game).

That Christianity openly believes:

  • Jesus hopped off the cross, murdered every single Jew in Judea who opposed him, and took over the Roman Empire.
  • Mercy and forgiveness are tools of evil. If someone tries to fuck with you, they need to suffer.
  • Any who oppose Christianity must be summarily executed.

Statistically and historically how long are we stuck watching these criminals violate our constitutional rights until we (the people) get pissed off enough to start up the guillotine machine?

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you look at other countries, even comfier European ones, you should at least be at the mass protests stage. It’s funny how much the US generally mocks the French but they wish they had a spine like that.

Marching steadily on the carbon-copy path of Nazi Germany for over a decade has only brought people to attending organized protests that the adminstration can just ignore(even better, Trump posted that AI video of him in a crown dumping shit on protestors). Ya’ll won’t ever get guillotines if even this only seems to result in mild agitation among the general populace.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

While I agree that things should have escalated past the mild protests we are seeing the military being brought into cities indicates pedo Antoinette anticipates riots and civil unrest. In his first administration we did see rioting around the BLM movement and in the sixties we had massive civil unrest but we also have been living with the consequences of COINTELPRO when any left leaning group had their leaders systematically assassinated by the state. Even in my lifetime I’ve seen the left leaning occupy wall street movement hunted down by the authorities and all the neonazi groups basically promoted and coddled by the government. Our system is also evil and precise in the way it disenfranchises and disempowers based on race and sex. Our worker protections are nonexistent and you and your family will basically die on the streets if you’re ejected from the system.

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

And the police and military don’t clash with civilians in other countries? They bring those people in because they’re scared little babies, not because the US people will actually do anything.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

We have had a lot of civil unrest. Also our media is all billionaire owned so it’s not surprising that it doesn’t get a lot of coverage until it serves an evil agenda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_of_civil_unrest_in_the_United_States

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That’s not really the gotcha you think it is. Yea, the US weny from fighting with guns for labour rights to letting the gig-economy chew them up and sometimes they protest until they get tired and go home.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hope not but I guess we will see but it sure looks like facism is enslaving the entire world

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

She has radical gender ideology, she's anti Christian, she has hostility towards traditional views on family, religion and morality. So I guess we can report her and get paid?

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