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!

How well would it work if a regular pleb just said they'll do half of what the court ordered?

[–] paper_moon@lemmy.world 57 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

And then said "I'll do that half when I get around to it, because fuck you, that's why." ie. "Significant delays" of snap benefits they are half funding.

I also really hope people don't take the obvious race bait of this, why are they saying they're only funding half? Because they went people fighting over who gets it, and how are people going to start blaming each other? Oh right, color of skin.

"Why did the brown person in the line in front of me at the grocery store get snap benefits and I didn't!!!!"

Snap only for counties where Trump won.

[–] techt@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

The opposite would probably be worse, honestly.

But these aren’t regular plebs. They’re the slave owners. We must punished for our insolence.

[–] lechatron@lemmy.today 23 points 9 months ago

Pretty sure it was Israel.

[–] ryper@lemmy.ca 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There's a tiny bit of red in the Middle East. I think it's Israel.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

You mean Greater Palestine

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 8 points 9 months ago

It's clearly Alaska

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Between Africa and the middle east. Tiny.

Government was properly put into sleep mode. It’s coming up from a cold boot as food is required non-essential for the citizenry.

Let them eat BIOS

He gonna try and put his name on checks for this too to try and say he is the reason this happened?

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

A Trump-snap is just Thanos with a bad spray tan

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Let's not insult Thanos like that, both his comic and movie versions were actually physically intimidating and fit.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is the monies partially spent?

Guess who the mystery donor was to the ballroom!?!?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

We paid for it. The taxpayers fucking paid for his fucking ball room, while people in need actively starve.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 months ago

People are wrongly blaming either the democrats or republicans for the shutdown when we all know its the federalist parties fault.

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

So, the trump precedent.
