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!

You can't do that, you can't kill children on purpose knowing that you're doing that in exchange for power, freedom or happiness whatever you think you're getting in return. You can't participate in human sacrifice without consequences

The perfect quote from "The Newsroom":

Will : “The only reason I seem liberal is because I believe hurricanes are caused by high barometric pressure not gay marriage.”

Why do people still listen to this idiot?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

they clearly don't, which is why he's getting desperate. he went from the most watched political show to no one even remembering he exists practically overnight. deplatforming works.

the reason he's doing this, and doing bdsm with demons in bed, is because articles will be written about him and people will remember he exists. hopefully some of those people will be crazy enough to both be interested in this rhetoric and go through the extra hassle of watching video on fucking Twitter of all places, ie literally the worst platform for video.

It’s weird because the hurricanes seem to be targeting the southern states in particular, I wonder why God would preferentially punish them instead of the northern states or, I don’t know, California??

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

wouldn't it be hilarious if God doesn't like restrictive abortion laws?

Like theres a portion of the bible that literally explains how to make an abortion potion. Also Yahweh has a thing for killing children and babies, he wants to yeeteth the fetus.

The Russian asset says a lot of things.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Anything to deflect blame from fossil fuels

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I thought it was because I was having a whole bunch of gay sex. Damn.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

That's just abortion with... Less steps.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Obviously. All that steamy hot gay sex that Tucker definitely never fantasises about is bound to heat up the atmosphere.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

you clearly need to be having more gay sex.

[–] ravhall 9 points 1 day ago

I thought that was tornados and gay frogs. It’s difficult to keep track of all these scientific discoveries.

[–] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

He's lost it. First getting ripped up by demons, now he says abortions cause hurricanes? It seems like his brain has turned into a Swanson frozen dinner.

Moving in on the Alex Jones crowd.

[–] a2part2@lemmy.zip 2 points 13 hours ago

Knowledge fight latest episode #978 tends to agree with your assessment.

People can at least eat a frozen dinner. I'm afraid of whatever prion he's got going on up there.

[–] GetOffMyLan@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

Nah he's just bullshitting to his base. This isn't a mental health crisis or anything. Just grifting.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

So the aborted fetuses get fed into the offshore weather machine? It all makes sense now, how else could it make hurricanes?

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That seems to be the 'logic' but it falls apart when you consider the hurricane season we just faced against the decrease in abortion throughout the US since the Dobbs travesty.

perhaps there was a backlog? I don't try to make their madness make sense often, it usually results in a worse headache than when I started.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The weather machine is powered by blood magicks, the lack of abortions is lowering its power supply and its starting to fail.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

makes more sense than MTG

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

That's just conservative science.

[–] KY13KR385@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Human sacrifice..? Surely this guy can’t be serious..

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He IS serious! And don't call me Shirley!

[–] runiq@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

What's the tornado's vector, Victor?

Oh Tucker, we’ve known this for 20 years after Pat Robertson clued us in.

Try harder.

I wish that demon had finished the job while he was sleeping.

It's a happy ending no matter which common meaning you choose to take from "[finish] the job".

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

They are not related at all.

[–] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Shit maybe he's right and Mother Nature finally realized what a mistake shacking up with god for seven days and nights was
