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!

"if we are not allowed to blatantly commit crimes then we'll try to kill all of you"

Gotta love a good Republican

[–] spider@lemmy.nz 25 points 2 years ago

"Because no one's above the law...except us."

[–] willis936@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I'll love one if I ever meet one.

[–] matchphoenix@feddit.uk 117 points 2 years ago

Glad they checked in with Nostradumbass

[–] Mammal@lemmy.world 105 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Dedication to a Trump-inspired civil war will only last as long as the batteries on their mobility scooters.

[–] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 86 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] Moc@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Perfect 👩‍🍳💋

[–] bendeboy@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

Damn that's good shit.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or until they run out of S'mores Schnapps

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Hey guys! Let's all play a game of grab ass!!

[–] J12@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Lmao I can only imagine a bunch of old boomers and fatass GenXers starting a civil war.

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 80 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cool. Do it or shut up. Y'all threaten a civil war every time the waiter forgets your ranch.

[–] PoliticalAgitator@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

What she really means is "there will some extra mass shootings on top of the mass shootings we were going to do anyway" but calling it a "civil war" instead gets proud Republicans throbbing.

Which is weird, since they're functionally identical to the people who lost the last one.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 60 points 2 years ago

Awww, look who's trying to be relevant again...

[–] Hazdaz@lemmy.world 56 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think even saying that is illegal.

But let me guess, the FBI isn't going to go question her about those comments.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Not illegal. Just evidence if she's found to have actually facilitated it in any way. Just how trump was free to lie about his loss all he wanted. But the moment he entered into conspiracies to actually violate the laws etc. It all became evidence.

[–] cowfodder@unilem.org 41 points 2 years ago

And she's an expert! After all, she can watch Russia's invasion of Ukraine from her front porch!

[–] halfempty@kbin.social 40 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sarah Palin and her allies have been wanting a civil war all along. There won't be one, but her kind of language will give license for extremist militia groups to do acts of terrorist violence.

[–] Travalanche@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, the American version of the Taliban isn't far off now.

[–] PinkPanther@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago

Y'allqaeda is coming, and it's going to be horrible.

[–] TheJims@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She’s still vying for the dumbest republican spot, sad

[–] CapgrasDelusion@kbin.social 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Over Donald Trump? These people know they worship Donald Trump?

If only this cult was more Jonestown and less Scientology.

Understood. This time we won't stop until we reach the coasts.

Conservatism is a plague in dire need of a cure.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I forgot this idiot existed. I hope I forget again soon.

[–] laughingm0n@lemmyhub.com 10 points 2 years ago

She was one of the OG example precursors to people rising the power like Marjorie Taylor green

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wait, I thought she died fighting the moon Nazis? Was that a movie?

[–] ohmyiv@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Iron Sky is a premium documentary, not just some movie.

Because that went so well for them last time.

[–] TheJims@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Sherman didn’t go far enough

[–] Lord_McAlister@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which last time? The civil war last time or the insurrection last time?

[–] GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

¿Por qué no los dos?

[–] Akasazh 17 points 2 years ago

Good to hear that absurdist comedian of Monty Python fame, Michael Palin, still is making solid jokes in his old age...

At least that's what I'll pretend to have read, in order to safe some sanity

[–] LeatherRebel@leminal.space 17 points 2 years ago

i wish the only version of sarah palin was lisa ann

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Lol, this vapid cunt is irrelevant.

[–] Blackout@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

Lock her up!

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

Does that mean we’re finally getting the Obamacare death panels she promised?! Time to grow some mutton chops and rain hell on Dixie, those insurance premiums are going DOWN

Go on then, try it! Would absolutely love to see what happens when Ya'll Qaeda fucks around and finds out.

[–] WorldWideLem@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Easy to say when you won't be the one fighting it.

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fucking bring it.

We need a community called "NeverHappened"

[–] steebo_jack@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Good ole Sara Palin, the first MAGA...

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

Palan finally gets called out on how stupid she is!

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

It hasn’t reached me yet, is it only in AK right now?

[–] droopy4096@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Right, thats where the line has been drawn. Lets not overwhelm penal system with privileged white jackasses, lets keep it for underprivileged to prevent them from getting ahead.

[–] Davel23@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago
[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That is what Palin wants to happen.
