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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Wtf is that show supposed to be? After watching the clip, it just seems like a bunch of self righteous Republicans interrupting each other with no actual discussion.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

That is every Conservative talk show. It's either a Russian TV style circle jerk or a 1 hour argument with commercial breaks and a host who's mic levels are higher than his guests on purpose

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've heard those shows called the Talking Heads, but in this case I guess that all of the heads are on the same Ettin?

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

“The Contentious Ettin” sounds like a podcast I’d listen to

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Contentious Ettin was literally a random encounter I ran. The only thing the two heads agreed on was trying to kill the party.

Tucking that one away for future use lol

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TFW political discourse has devolved to a level where criticizing Netanyahu is equivocated with antisemitism. No one, and I mean no one would accuse you of hating Kyrgystanis for critiquing Sadyr Japarov. No one. Michaels couldn't even participate in the debate without getting offended and making a dramatic exit, it's fucking pathetic.

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I grew up with narcissists who understood the theater of arguing. If you act offended enough, there's a good chance you can convince bystanders the other person did something wrong. But you have to seize the narrative. That part is already mostly done, so all it takes to fan flames is to throw tantrums.

That's less than encouraging, and my condolences on your first 20-30 years dealing with that bullshit.

More or less, last I heard she was trying to grift the right. But don't take my word on it, I don't really give a damned.

WTF did the furries do? Why are they involved in all this at all?

[–] knightly@pawb.social 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kirk's shooter had some shell casings with what was originally a furry meme etched onto them, but that phrase had been co-opted by groypers and transvestigators and is more likely to be evidence that the shooter did it for the lulz than that they were furry.

The furry community is very tight-knit, if it was one of us then we'd have figured out who the shooter was before the cops did. The only connection here is that Republicans have been trying to make the existence of furries into another front in their culture war.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He said that the engravings were a meme.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 5 points 1 year ago

I mean of course they were. People seem to think he had them engraved specifically for this, guarantee he just did that to a bunch of bullets for hunting or whatever because he thought it would be funny

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe the Fbi found a hair.
