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!

It's fucking impressive when you get MTG to try and walk back your statement.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 53 points 2 months ago (5 children)

I'm about the whitest dude ever and on my best days my house smells like curry too.... And garlic naan.

Mmm... BRB... need to make an order.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 48 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

If you have an instant pot or pressure cooker, I highly recommend the book Indian instant pot by Urvashi Pitre. The Korma and the aloo ghobi were both great to eat. (Some day I'll make more from the book)

Edit: shit, politics sub, uh, remember to vote!

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Nothing against Indian curry, but my JAM is Massaman Curry (or Mussaman Curry depending on the restaurant).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massaman_curry

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That sounds delicious. A ba'hai family I knew turned me on to Persian dry rub, I enjoy it on lamb, especially.

Politics, um they disgust me.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Ba'hai know how to cook... ditto Sikhs. But I give the edge to Sikhs for their fabulous turbans and mustaches. ;)

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 9 points 2 months ago

It blows my mind Nikki Haley hails from Sikh family.

[–] comador@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Related: Decades ago this white American lived in Crawley, England. I used to eat at this place called MurrayCurrays in downtown Crawley (they retired and closed a decade ago) where a Sikh man and an Italian British woman ran one of the best tasting crossover menus I had ever seen. Stuff like:

  • Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza
  • Lamb and Chicken Tinga Calzone
  • Italian Sausage Dum Biryani

Some ideas for you to consider along with remembering to vote!

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm looking for a good Thai curry book, though that's harder, three people, three different curries. I let the wife and kid work on the fresh rolls and Rangoon.

(I assumed indian food from the naan)

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

One of my favorites too!! I often get that when i hit the local Thai spots.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Can you send an order to my house, please?

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

An Indian place near me makes a chana saag that is amazing. Garlic naan and some of that and it's a good night.

Guess I know what's for dinner tomorrow.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I love naan, especially garlic naan.

On point, is Marge's mask slipping? Maybe she's not that nuts and is tired of playing a role. Was she one of the politicians that was a client of an actors ' agency? Can't remember.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Oh no, she's full on.

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

this thread. this thread is... heartwarming! immagonnacry!

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee 31 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I don't know what game she's trying to play, but it's definitely a game

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The gane is deflection, because Loomer's post absolutely represents Trump's racism. The man just promoted a racist pet eating myth during a debate.

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I mentioned in another thread that Loomer's racist tweet was on Sept 8. Loomer was on Trump's plane when he arrived for the debate on the 10th and he invited her to be his guest at the 9/11 memorial on the 11th. So yeah, he doesn't mind one bit. It's probably why she's getting to hang out with him.

We died in 2020 and this is actually hell.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm hoping the timeline is correcting itself

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We owe it to Deadpool and Wolverine.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

And an educated wish

[–] vegeta@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Careful with that gif, you are getting Trump and JD hungry

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

You know what, I just realized that I haven't thought of or seen this fucking ghoul for weeks. This is definitely designed by her to get back in the headlines.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 16 points 2 months ago

"Hey! I was gonna say that!"

--MTG, probably.

[–] Doolbs@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Very surprised Pikachu face.

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

You know you're an absolutely shit person when even MTG is like "woah, that's too far". I didn't even know she had a line to cross because of how batshit crazy she is.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

This is how bad Trump‘s debate performance was. Even this hag is arguing against the shit he said.

[–] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So there actually is a line that she claims to not cross!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Naw.

This has mad “she got dumped” angry vibes.

[–] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I see a bunch of comments naïvely assuming MTG wrote the post herself, which is obviously incorrect. They have staff.

"Put out a post saying Loomer is a dumb bitch, but make it sound, you know" is probably what she said herself.

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Laura complains about people eating curry, meanwhile she's evidently eating handfuls of live bees every day.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Let.Them.Fight

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Hindutva are usually Republican allies, but this shit will make them go nuts. I'm here for it and hope it gets amplified.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Clearly, the only solution is a cage match. No holds barred.

[–] flyingjake@lemmy.one 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Should be no hold sparred, they just hit each other, no holds

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I had to go look up the expression because you made me doubt myself. But yeah it is "no holds barred". If you're making a reference or joke I missed it
