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!

I'm fucking so tired of reading the words "a gesture." We know what the fuck it is, and you do too you fucking cowards.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 67 points 5 hours ago

She made a Nazi salute. The fucking media are complicit.

Wow, CBS still diligently avoiding calling any of this what it very obviously is to anyone not trying to protect Nazis. I guess CBS is happy to be known for visibly protecting Nazis.

It's kind of like so much of the "liberal media" keeps calling those terrorists that stormed the Capitol (as part of something that was planned for fucking WEEKS and MONTHS) "rioters".

They brought weapons, including guns, too. They planted bombs. They had a fucking gallows out. They brought zip-ties to restrain Congresspeople and who knows who else.

They let bullshitters on the right keep getting away with saying they were "unarmed". That is a fucking lie and they let it slide so very often. And now their narrative is that these terrorists were "overcharged", because I saw that dickhead Watters use that term more than once. The qons are apparently going to send brown people to Gitmo for being brown, meanwhile, these terrorists, who should have gone to Gitmo, are given a blanket pardon.

CBS nazi collaborators

As someone who grew up in this area... Montco is full of the worst, most privileged, racist magats imaginable. Zero surprise that this happened there.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

I was a bit surprised to see where exactly it was, but then again the local car dealership was plastered with signs for the guy running for office that assaulted a senior citizen at a clinic while he brought his 12 yr old to watch, and right down the road from that is the farm that was all plastered with giant signs and trailers covered with Trump and Jesus banners. It's a shame how often beautiful farmland here gets uglied up with that crap.

Even if you want historical accuracy, and you say it's not a Nazi salute, it's at best a neo-Nazi salute. So stfu.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 5 hours ago

having just watched it. Which I have to say how funny it is that it was from tik tok. I have to say that is the most nazi salute I have ever seen. I mean I feel like if you you used some device you would see a near perfect 45 degree angle straight ahead. Now Im feeling this my heart goes out to you thing is something talked about in the circles to try and start doing it while saying its not it.
