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!

The little nazi puke is scared it will be traced back to him.

[–] asdfasdfasdf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

forced to jump from the first floor to escape the blaze. He is understood to have suffered multiple broken bones

Am I missing something here?

Beach houses that are close to the ocean shore are typically on stilts here in the case of flooding caused by hurricanes.

As a result, the 1st floor can be at least 3-4m above the ground level.

The wild thing about Stephen Miller is that, even if he never opened his mouth. Even if you had no idea about his politics or his stance on literally anything. You could just look at this guy and think "Yeah...this guy looks like he definitely has an SS uniform in his closet at home."

He could be a nobody on the street, and you're a casting director for a big time WW2 film looking for extras to play nazi officers. You see him and you think "My god...he's perfect."

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

If you think of Republicans like Sinn Fein, then "maga" is basically the terrorist wing, so maga is like their IRA. Except in this case, the conservatives are fighting for the end of democratic principles (and human rights, etc.).

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 7 points 7 hours ago

So the opposite of the IRA

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 14 points 13 hours ago

Oh is he doing that Netanyahu thing where he makes a statement that he didn't do it while the fire's still burning?

[–] Asmodeus_Krang 68 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Got a week ban from Reddit for saying this guy deserves a swirly. Apparently the threshold for what constitutes as violent rhetoric is super low for these snowflakes.

[–] reptar@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

That's hilarious.

A fucking swirly.

For the Nazi.

[–] DarkAri@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Reddit got sold to the corpos. It's a publicly traded company now. That means propaganda is now one of their biggest revenue sources in all likelihood.

[–] atmorous@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Everybody do all you can to get more people from Reddit on here and make more content here on Lemmy for others to engage with

[–] DarkAri@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

Only people who are cool.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 30 points 16 hours ago

This is all straight out of the third reich playbook

[–] Cupcake@piefed.blahaj.zone 105 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Listen, hear me out.
He caused this. His rhetoric caused this.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 65 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Stochastic Terrorism, it's a core MAGA strategy.

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 260 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

weird how he has been ranting non stop about “radical leftist” judges and their huge conspiracy, and they need to purge them… and then some supporter goes and attacks a judge.
….
kinda exactly like stochastic terrorism and not too hard to prove in court

[–] credo@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

What I don’t understand is, why would we need to wait for someone’s house to be set on fire to make it stick in court? The intent and actions of the stochastic terrorist are still the same.

Our legal system is pretty stupid that way.

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago

in past cases i’ve only heard of it being pursued in civil courts after the fact… feels like there’s something different when talking about judges but he always qualifies his rhetoric…
like “and there’s only one thing left to do, with this giant conspiracy using the law to manipulate the government! (pause) pursue legal action within the guidelines of the law, of course!”.
it seems a lot like he’s implying legal action is pointless and it’s time to do illegal things….
also looking at the director of the fbi and attorney general doesn’t give me hope they’ll pursue this one….

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 60 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I hope this judge has a good lawyer!

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 24 points 20 hours ago

I think they know a few, they will be fine.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 15 points 17 hours ago

It's what they want to have happen. They just need it to be blameable on anyone other than violent psychopaths.

Somehow they still think "influencing" the message means "controlling" the message.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 195 points 22 hours ago (5 children)

How is this not bigger news!

I have to listen to weeks about some random podcaster getting shot, but a judge whose made judgements against trump has their house burned down and everyone is all quite?

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 18 points 21 hours ago (8 children)

Because we still don’t have a cause for the fire.This could be arson or it could be a freak accident.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 21 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

MAGAs always start blaming Libz immediately, we can do the same thing. The thing is, we're probably going to be right, it's almost ALWAYS a right-wing whacko.

Not that you need an article to figure out Stephen Miller is a whiny sack of shit, lol. But still worth acknowledging it on the record 🙂

[–] balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one 45 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Given how much he "melts down" shouldn't he look more like trump by now?

[–] blave@lemmy.world 21 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

He’s 43, but he already looks like he’s in his 60s. I think he’s well on his way.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Evil ages fast but lives forever.

He's getting there. Dude is a millennial. Looks like he's in his mid 50s.

Me thinks he doth complain too much.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Someone please let Stephen miller actually melt down

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 10 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

PeeWee Himmler imagines himself to be a Hitler-style orator, so he melts down all the time, and it's hilarious. Check out this recent one where he addressed cops going into Memphis.

https://youtu.be/IZKBuqdBy5Y

The whole thing is funny, but the end when he starts convincing himself that they are "ruthless" and "hardcore" is hilarious. He is the absolute archetype of the smarmy coward trying to act tough, and fooling NOBODY. You just know that if he took one punch to the face, he'd collapse like a sack of potatoes, and start crying and begging for mercy.

Sure would be a shame if Stephen Miller was trapped in a house while it burned down

Seriously I really want wish.com Goebbels to… not be around anymore.
