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!

Person who publicly insulted Greeks now has to live in Greece among Greeks and spend her life talking to Greeks. Maybe there's some satisfaction to be had from that.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 weeks ago

She IS the punishment

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 weeks ago

She's probably insulted every nationality on the planet, if we're being honest. She's a deeply hateful person.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Maybe they'll toss her into the Mediterranean

The entire Republican Party is so damn xenophobic. Unless it’s Israel.

They both hate Jews and love the Jewish state. I never understood this.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Because the Jewish state needs to exist so it can be destroyed for their religion's apocalypse to begin

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Because they want the jews far away

[–] tegs_terry@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

Because it was their idea and they'll never admit to a mistake. Also it's a good for trade.

[–] BadmanDan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Their supporters hate Jews.

[–] Shezzagrad@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's what I said

What's Greek for "persona non grata"?

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

“ kimberly guilfoyle”

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

"Malakas" should work.

Bro if she ain't a swamp creature then who the fuck is? I ain't no biologist, but I think we can accurately assess the biome this one came from.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm actually like 2 degrees of separation from this lady. Her dad got his wealth by taking care of an elderly person with dementia and making them change the will to have it all go to him. Who's the freeloader again?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

well, yeah...how did you think she got the job?

In this case it's just literally "sleep with the ruler's son." They're not exactly hiding it anymore.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

So as competent as expected
