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!

With skin, and makeup, that fucking thick, I doubt you could pierce her.

She answers every question the same. First, a little bullshit, then blame it on Biden, adding that his administration was bad, and then follow up with even more bullshit.

Is skewered equal to or more than slammed?

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Definitely less than being ripped

[–] Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 minutes ago

But is ripped more or less than smacked down? We need a chart people.

[–] some_dude@lemm.ee 22 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

She's such a snippy bitch when she answers press questions, as if she's assed out that the press are even bothering her.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 22 points 2 hours ago

It's exactly why they picked her. "Be nasty to the media" was pretty much her only order.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

When they take ownership? Everything is still Biden's fault lmao. Will they be saying this 3 years from now???

Get over the fucking Biden admin. Conflicts started on Trump's watch, not Biden's. I swear man. Backed into a corner?! Biden did this!

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Thanks Obama

Here’s the Psaki video with a bunch of Trump’s two well promises:

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 1 points 35 minutes ago

So, she's calling out the press secretary bullshitting the media, just like she did?

[–] ShoeThrower@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 hours ago

The media really trying to goad him into starting a war immediately after he said he's considering nuking Iran.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

She's thick alright, and not just the makeup.

I often wonder if she's as properly dumb as she sounds and she really believes the shit she says, or if she's a true professional striving to do her job to the best of her abilities, even if her job involves lying and saying things that make her look like a dumb bimbo.

I really can't decide.

[–] floop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 children)

It’s not stupidity that makes these people believe the things they do, it’s a concerted effort at self-delusion. They simply hate the world the way it is (and the people in it) so they invent a fantasy reality in which they can pretend that we all live because they simply refuse to accept the world for what it is and people for who they are.

[–] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 9 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly so, and still you listen to people saying that they're dumb, or falling victim to fake news. NO, they are racist bastards, it's that simple.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

What was just described sounds pretty fucking dumb to me. I think we're splitting hairs here

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 children)

But... All it would take her is watching a video of herself delivering Trump's BS to realize how mind-numbingly daft and lapdoggish she sounds. It really doesn't take much self-introspection skills to feel ashamed at oneself behaving like that. And she went to university, so surely she must see it too. Nobody can be this blind to one's shameful behavior. That's what puzzles me so much.

Unless, like I said, she's a consummate professional and she chooses to leave her self-respect in the locker when she clocks in in order to do the best job she can.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I'm not sure some of these people are capable of processing shame in the same way normal people might.

[–] floop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

There’s nothing puzzling about it: they lied to themselves until they believe their own lies. If they were capable of any sort of self-introspection or shame, they wouldn’t be the people they are.

And there’s nothing professional about being a pathological liar and propaganda mouthpiece for a fascist administration.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 7 points 2 hours ago

That deadline nonsense is Little t trying to focus attention on this one thing.

Pay close attention to what other things go down in the next two weeks.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

LOL, the supercut that Psaki ran of the two-week bullshit from Taco is so hilarious.

Also, this stupid bitch Leavitt talking trash about Biden's admin? LOL, things were great under Biden and this so-called "administration" is a total fucking dumpster fire. She can sit and spin.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The first three words got my hopes up, ngl

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org -4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

In fairness, as long as she keeps her trap shut, she's quite attractive.

[–] Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 minutes ago

Meh, she also does her makeup like a grandma I wonder if that’s on purpose to appear conservative?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Probably a big part of why she got the job.
