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!

Link to the video for anyone else who struggled to find it hidden in the article:

Thanks.

I hate Twatter so here is an NBC video timestamped to the start. The rest of the show is just Joe talking.

You are the hero that we don't deserve. Except for me, I totally deserve you ;)

But wait, it goes even deeper

Here is the yewtu.be link so you don’t have to deal with actual YouTube https://yewtu.be/f5cAap8pol0?t=70

Quite possibly one of the greatest campaign ads I've seen. It's just too perfect.

I'm so confused. Who could possibly think these are bad things?

[–] picassowary@lemmy.world 183 points 2 years ago (1 children)

when your entire ideology is based on opposition to what the people you hate are in favor of, well…

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/B46km4V0CMY

The upbeat background music is killing me in this video, but I also can't help but think that MGT is saying these things with a positive voice inflection. Like, this isn't the wind-up to a "AND THIS IS BAD" shoe being dropped at the end of her cadence. I'm fully surprised at how benevolent her tone of voice is here in describing anything about Biden given her other howler-monkey tendencies.

[–] obviouspornalt@lemmynsfw.com 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I detected a hint of sarcasm / sneer in her tone at "urban problems", but yeah, she really lacks any self awareness at all.

If you say people and companies are 'woke' then you hate all these things.

[–] fubo@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (6 children)

I wonder if we could get right-wingers to brand themselves as "Napsters" because they're not "woke".

Ok when I heard about this I thought it was just going to be amusing, but seeing the actual commercial it's a fucking masterpiece.

It's so good there are almost certainly going to be MAGA fans who start accusing Greene of being a secret librul the whole time undermining Tangerine Palpatine.

Tangerine Palpatine

Fawkin gold, kid.

[–] raltoid@lemmy.world 135 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (6 children)

I find it amazing how no politicians really call out republican use of "urban" when we all know they mean "black".

And they still think it's subtle and clever, and that they "get away with it"... They're so fucking dumb.

[–] TurtleJoe@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She even got the inflection the way you would if you were using air quotes around a word. Verbal italics, if you will.

Kenny: "can't you pick the lock?"

Lee: "what makes you think that?"

Kenny: "you know, because you're... urban"

Lee: "what did you say?"

Kenny: "sorry I'm from Florida stupid shit comes out my mouth all the time"

She followed this up yesterday by showing naked Hunter Biden pics on the floor of congress. Super genius lady. The Jews will never catch her sleeping with their space lasers!

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 65 points 2 years ago (9 children)

Then she posted revenge porn and tweeted it out to minors.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago

I'm guessing Elon was just fine with that.

If some day we find out that MTG was an inside job, a lot of things will start to make sense. I don't think that's true though, she just lives in some other reality and shares glimpses with us from time to time.

I absolutely hate these links about videos without a clear area where the actual video is.

[–] DarthRedLeader@lemmy.world 47 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I had to click a link to another article that had the link to the video on Twitter 🙄

This is the exact suggestion I saw posted around here when news of the speech was shared. You love to see it

[–] ATQ@lemm.ee 55 points 2 years ago

I’ll donate to whatever PAC wants to run this ad on TV in MTGs district nonstop during the next Presidential election.

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 49 points 2 years ago

First post on Lemmy that I've bookmarked. That was amazing. How dare Biden do all those things that would benefit average Americans? What an asshole!

Let's go Dems.

[–] Chadus_Maximus@lemmy.zip 47 points 2 years ago (7 children)

Heck, it is so viral I feel pressured to share it with everyone who uses the internet, and I don't even one in U.S

I'll be honest I did not watch MTG's speech, and I don't know the full context. But I don't understand how that stuff is supposed to sound negative. She actually wrote that down and had someone proofread it and no one said "actually, this kinda makes it sound like he's doing good things"

MTG is the poster child of the GOP/Nazi party. Such an ignorant scum bag.
