Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Okay I must admit, seeing "Major General Gay" - was pretty funny 😅
I think POTUS unlocked a cheat code for avoiding military service! We're gonna have loads of rich people with this first name soon!
/s
Republicans are dumber than dogshit. On top of that, they’re traitors. It is unreal that fucking idiots voted for this garbage. Enjoy your egg prices, cunts. Check your 401Ks if you have them, cunts.
My 401k is down 3 grand, even after I've put in $1000 in just the last month. Fuck everyone who voted for this asshole.
Critics link Hegseth’s actions to his far-right Christian nationalist beliefs and hiring of 26-year-old Kingsley Wilson, who promotes neo-Nazi theories, as deputy press secretary.
See, this is why I don't read the news.
Dropping nukes is woke now
What a f__k stick. How come Al green got censored but not this guy?
al green spoke against the hegemony. pete hegseth seeks to maintain it
The word in this context is "censured" 💗
What do you expect when they forget half the letters in the word ‘fuck’?
Yeah this was mean I’m sorry I’m just fucking annoyed at algorithmically induced self censorship today.
But saying F__k and S__t displeases G-d!
I joke.
im reporting you for not swearing
You can swear on lemmy.
is this why we stopped making more biplanes ?
And forget about a new transcontinental railroad
It’s just so absolutely, patently absurd. The plane that ran one of the most crucial attacks missions in World War 2 - literally, a strategic turning point, simultaneously ushering in an entirely new era of warfare - is being censored, because one of the words they used in the name of the plane is now considered verboten. Like, holy fucking christ, Hesgeth. Reach into your purse and find your fucking balls, you fucking cunt (apologies - I know he lacks both the depth and warmth).
It looks like republicans are afraid of gay planes. Better hope they don't swarm if you anger them.
You mean that gay plane that dropped that gay bomb and now everybody's gay? Yeah, sure.
It's actually because he's against nuclear proliferation.
