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!

His Twitter page preached hate for Epstein and pedophiles.

Definitely not a Christian Conservative then.

[–] cheers_queers@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

that's reductionist and turns Christian conservatives into a one dimensional monolith. my parents are extreme conservative Christians, creationists, maga, the whole stupid 9. they hate pedophiles with a burning passion, my mom and i were both victims of them.

there's a whole problem with conservatives hating LGBT people because we've been lumped in with pedophiles for some reason, it's their whole schtick

We're not here to think or be reasonable, the goal is to be the most outraged.

This is an online forum, not a political debate, do y'all not understand the social contexts and how figures of speech work? Everyone posts the same sad tired comment to appear like they've actually contributed something meaningful to jerk their own ego

Reminds me of that key and Peele sketch

You're just agreeing with me, but that makes me the bad guy for pointing it out.

The irony being that me saying be as outraged as possible is, of course, a figure of speech and not meant to be taken literally.

Sorry, I saw a screenshot of Twitter. Seems to be Instagram, but so far unverified.

[–] xerazal@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago

That's not him. the pic is a troll that immediately regretted spreading his own pic and posing as crooks.

[–] kromem@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This looks much more like the 'comedian' who was posting pretending to be him, and not actually the guy.

[–] swan@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

a comedian pretending to be the shooter, my god how thirsty for attention can you get
