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 are they such pieces of complete shit?

Is their only goal in life to accrue money and hurt others?

I really cannot comprehend these fucking psychopathic cocksuckers

How are they such pieces of complete shit?

Years of practice, and the perfect role model.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Also, they probably did not have enough bullying.

[–] chahn.chris@piefed.social 2 points 7 months ago

It’s also on their genetics.

[–] Kronusdark@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

It’s so cliche. 90’s cartoon villains are more subtle than the Trump family.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago

I wouldn't worry too much. The actual chance of this company producing some sort of tangible product is basically zero.

It sure is going to get a lot of government "contracts" though.

Yes

Did you just learn about capitalist military complex? US has been doing it for almost a century. Russia/Israel is trying it on right now.

It's all they know.

Affluenza is apparently a real thing. They might as well be a separate species from us now: Homo Avaritia

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

how much would you pay to kill a person. one hundred? two hundred dollars? Would you believe just three easy payment of $29.95 over 3 months. Thats right. You could kill. Your very own victim. For less than one dollar a day.....

[–] IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet@reddthat.com 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Idk I haven't done my taxes yet.

...but everyday I think and wonder about how many people I've paid to kill through tax. Maybe if more people did this america wouldn't be a diseased putrid rotting mindless arrogant privileged cunt of a culture.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'd love to see any of these shitstains have to work real jobs for a living.

I saw those two useless brats recently whining about how they were the "most cancelled" or whatever the fuck. Because of their hateful and criminal affiliations, FFS.

If there was any decency in the world, all of their assets would be seized and these useless douchebags would be thrown in prison for several years at least. Let them come out and try to earn an honest living with a record.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And yet they're nowhere near 'cancelled' enough.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

IKR? I only wish there was even 10% of the "cancel culture" the insane right wing claims is aimed at them.

It's just more projection on their part.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Xtend

Sounds more like a company that makes dick pills

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Murder does get their dicks hard so...

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 7 points 7 months ago

No thanks. Us Europeans have Ukraine for that

[–] aeration1217@lemmy.org 3 points 7 months ago

now that's a metric

I should have been a hot man.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Good thing we all have microwaves.

[–] horn_e4_beaver@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Even if this isn't the intention now, how long before some group of rich individuals realises how handy it would be to use these autonomous killing machines to get rid of the 'excess' population?

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What excess? More is cheaper.

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Too expensive. Virus would be faster and cheaper.

Now they would be good for home did fence along the fence line
