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!

from the party that has no problem sacrificing children …

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Yep, i.e. school shootings.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

GOP wanting to removing the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) at the federal level.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It's "e.g." that = example.

If it's sacrifice then it's part of a religion and therefore constitutionally protected. Checkmate dipshits

[–] Throbbing_Banjo@midwest.social 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

According to the satanic temple, it's a religious ritual and constitutionally protected for that very reason. So thank you to these christofascists for, in their own myopic and ludicrously incorrect way, giving that argument some weight, I guess.

Bans are also contrary to Jewish doctrine, which states that abortion is permitted up to forty days after pregnancy (and presumably refers to actual pregnancy and not the currently used definition which calculates a pregnancy based on menstruation, thus artificially increasing the length of the "pregnancy" in most cases). After this point, if a mother's life is in danger due to pregnancy, an abortion should be performed. Not can be; should be. The mother's life is seen as being more valuable and aborting to save her is a mitzvah.

I always ask these people how many kids they've adopted. It usually turns out to be 0.

In which case I don't care what they say, because they won't back it up with action.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

They’re probably not allowed to adopt. Which is good, because I wouldn’t want to put kids into that lunacy.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

So much for moderation .

[–] DevCat@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He’ll be speaking to them virtually.

It would be a shame if somebody "attended" who wasn't invited.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago

Or just turned the volume off on his display

[–] Delusional@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

"Trump to Attend Event With Group That Is Fucking Dumb Beyond Belief."

FTFY

Though that could be used to describe all of his rallies.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

It's funny, I thought Trump was all for sacrificing everything, NATO the environment, workers rights, social programs, actually the entire human kind by denying climate change against all evidence, just so he can annoy the Democrats. Which he calls winning.

I bet he would be all for ACTUAL child sacrifice if it could turn a profit or help get him elected...
Oh what am I thinking? Of course he is, he already support weapons in kindergartens, and to do absolutely nothing against school shootings. Because Insane Republican Christian Americans want it that way. If you are a victim in a schools shooting, it was probably gods will. If a fetus is removed, god gets pissed and christian heads explode.
