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!

MTG is known for her extra-marital affairs which got her divorced.

It’s literally always projection with these losers.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 59 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Eww, there's multiple people who want to have sex with MTG‽

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 44 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Shes rich. Handed some construction buisness by her parents/grandparents. Apprently also owned the gym where most of the people she was fucking worked out.

So like most shitty people : money.

That's not a kink, that's a cry for help.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 81 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I hate both of these cunts, but what's wrong with having bunches of sex? It's not like Boebert is married.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 104 points 2 years ago (4 children)

You're not supposed to enjoy sex if you're a Republican.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 65 points 2 years ago

You’re not supposed to enjoy sex if you’re a woman.

No time for happy. Only angry and afraid. —Republican Manifesto

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 years ago

You're supposed to stop and shame everyone else's enjoyment.

[–] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

You're not supposed to Republican.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago

Nothing wrong with it but maybe she shouldn't have joined a club where the members have a pathological hatred of women.

[–] Drivebyhaiku@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

You forget the modern Christian popular doctorine is no sex before marriage (though in practice this is only really expected to be binding of women because men being horny is just considered "natural") and sex between only the married people afterwards.

Problem with tying your political identity to a base that assumes misogyny as it's religious dogma as their guiding principle is if you subscribe to it for reasons outside of religion you are still gunna get tarred by that brush.

TWO trailer park girls go round the outside,

round the outside...

Waiting for one of them to challenge the other, "Cash me ousside, howbow dah?"

A reference in a reference. Reference-ception

And then a third pop culture reference thrown in at the end. A triple whammy

That seems a bit highbrow for these two, no?

And then he spent the next 7 years sucking Trump off.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

IDK. If you read the tweet in a BDSM light it all becomes clear...

I don't think that's what he meant, but it's funnier

Magic the gathering is doing WHAT?!?

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a new mechanic, trash a whore card puts it on the bottom of your discard pile, but if there are enough non-whore creatures above it in your discard, it gets resummoned, tapped.

I’m pretty sure she meant it in a collegial sense, as in “peer” or “fellow traveler”.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Lmao, she also called her a "bitch/ little bitch" for "copying" her articles of impeachment. Boebert defended herself by saying she never read it, which is also hilarious, because she voted on it.

"According to two sources that saw the exchange and a third familiar with the matter, the back and forth began when Boebert approached Greene—then seated in the chamber—and confronted her over “statements you made about me publicly.” All three of the sources said Greene called Boebert a “bitch.” One of the sources said Greene called her “a little bitch.”

According to two of the sources, Greene then stood up and alleged that Boebert “copied my articles of impeachment,” to which the Colorado lawmaker fired back that she hadn’t even read Greene’s resolution."

I would PAY to have good c-span footage of that.

This is actually believable.

[–] Additional_Prune@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

Hateful people sometimes get tired of hating scapegoats and take some time to hate each other. It's like high school mean girls picking one of their own off from the herd.

[–] rothaine@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why are we giving these two attention

Does that make her the pot or the kettle?

[–] ArgentRaven@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

The pot. The origin of the saying is a cast iron pot sees its own reflection in the shiny, stainless steel kettle and sees all black (the cast iron).

So it's really projection. Calling out others what you see in yourself.

[–] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can’t they just fuck and put it up for sale all ready

[–] milkjug@lemmy.wildfyre.dev 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I wouldn’t watch it even if you pay me, but I will fight to my death to protect your right to watch.

Large Marge is projecting

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

I think Marge is just jealous about Qbert. A lot of Karen energy here. I bet anything Marge would have loved to be taken to the same show and do some dry cranking of her own.

[–] PeckerBrown@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Sporkfoot throwing shade on Hoebert? That's like shit insulting puke.
