Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Same. First time I've ever wished them anything but ridicule, misery and irrelevance.
How can we help?
Yo dawg. Did you hear what he called her?
She said his what was what?
D-word was s-word.
And nothing of value was lost.
She added in another post to Shapiro: "You have been acting unprofessional and emotionally unhinged for weeks now
Oh Candace... You have some googling to do if you think it's only been weeks.
message to Twitter, formerly X
Nobody tells me anything around here.
Oh I didn't tell you, I changed it back.
This is the first time in a long time where you can say "no matter who loses, we win," instead of the other way around.
They could both fail to destroy the other.

How can we help them do it?
Owens tweeted:
No government anywhere has a right to commit a genocide, ever. There is no justification for a genocide. I can't believe this even needs to be said or is even considered the least bit controversial to state.
That is what drew the ire of Shapiro.
"The question is about Candace Owens," Shapiro said in the video posted to X by user @LoomerLs. "I think her behavior during this has been disgraceful, without a doubt."
Shapiro's answer was met with applause from the audience, followed by his acknowledgment that Owens "still works at my company."
"I think that her faux sophistication on these particular issues has been ridiculous," Shapiro added. "Everybody can see the moves that she's making and the things that she's saying, and I find them disreputable."
"faux sophistication". Pot calling kettle black.
Just using the term "faux sophistication" is faux sophistication if I've ever seen it.
I don't think I've ever seen a more pretentious douchebag other than Jordan Peterson.

Who, Ben? Fucking Aquaman?!

These people can't stand eachother, they are all grifters and it's so easy to pit them against eachother.
Is this a strategy that could be stimulated, somehow?
For sure it could. There is always at least one thing that they disagree on. When one of them is a woman, it happens by itself.
In the immortal words of Dr Ishiro Serizawa:
“Let them fight”
Two monumental pieces of human garbage. Can't wait.
I mean, why would boy-hitler hate a black person who is also a woman? Does he not see that she agrees with him that only conservative straight white men are jesus' chosen leaders for planet earth and that non-conservatives should be slaughtered wholesale?
Why would girl-Hitler hate a jew? Does she not see that he agrees with her that only Christian Conservative males are Jesus’ chosen leaders for planet earth and that non-Christians should be slaughtered wholesale?

Back in the day, Reagan wanted a 'Big Tent.' Nowadays, the Gipper is just another RINO neoliberal
"better to have them inside the tent pissing out than outside pissing in"
Well, now they're inside the tent and pissing all over the floor
"A Flash Of Green" by John D. MacDonald. Great little novel about a Florida land grab and local corruption. Written in the Kennedy years.
A one point, the main political boss sends one of his stooges to get rid of the married banker's girl friend. The stooge asks what's wrong with the banker getting a little action on the side. The boss tells the stooge that the banker is being too brazen and people are startign to talk. They plot needs the banker to look clean.
If they did the story today, the plotters wouldn't send her out of town, they'd make her head of the 'Sluts For Trump.'
Ok.
TIL Candace Owens. For th lazy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candace_Owens
She's a token black American conservative, and conspiracy theorist. She has a political talk show on the Daily Wire which is a conservative propaganda outlet.
A lot of these conservative talking heads, including Candace Owens, are just actors recruited from a talent agency
Paid actor implies she's scripted and saying other people's words. She might parrot right wing talking points, but shes doing it because she's a grifter.
Shapiro is a failed showbiz writer, too. Hmmmmmm...
Add to that the Daily Wire is Shapiros shitrag, so he’s her boss in this situation.
I’ll grab the popcorn! Who wants butter?!
Good.
Let them continue.
GRIFT ROYALE!

Best wishes to both.
