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 entire MAGA wing of the SCOTUS has this blood on their hands. They don’t give a shit.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

They’ll do anything for power. Anything but the right thing, naturally.

I know the adage in politics is not to blame the voter. But I blame the voters.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 3 weeks ago

They're the ones who got us into this mess.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So the fact that Republicans accused Democrats of aborting babies after they're born is just more projection?

[–] MrFappy@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Always has been…

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Its because these people dont give a shit about infants. They are obsessed with punishment.

Is that the world's most cursed SEO, or is that repetition something that's significant to the cult?

Nevermind, I see the "for search engines" now. Missed it in all the nonsense.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Those keywords are totally normal and sane.

[–] SynonymousStoat@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's probably just some old keyword stuffing/SEO to get the page to show up under searches for all of those keywords.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Its just crazy to see. Hide that shit with some CSS lol

[–] SynonymousStoat@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There isn't any CSS used on that page, it's all using old HTML only styling and I'd wager that it hasn't really been touched much since, ya know... 1997.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

You're right. The maintainer probably boarded that ship they were talking about before web standards were even a thing.

Edit: oh shit I can be dense. Didn't realize these were the comet koolaid drinkers.

"Good! These infants are following God's plan! Let them die horrible deaths as God intended instead of saving everyone misery by Demonic Science!™"

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

That's okay, unbaptized infants get a free pass to heaven! Y'know, because admitting the alternative is actually the case would be pretty fucked.

What's that you say? Fetuses would also get a free pass? Shut up with your dirty heathen logic!

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

So the thing the experts said would happen happened... Weird

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Insert George Carlin here:

If you're preborn, you're fine. If you're preschool, you're fucked!

*Incredibly obvious thing happens*

Everyone: omg that thing is incredibly obvious!

When Republicans say there's a slippery slope they mean the ramp Trump 'ran' down.

When liberals and progressive say there's a slippery slope it's like the Cliff of Dover.
