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!

the task force will work to fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society

Yeah, Democrats did this already. They're called Hate Crimes and it's the law. Not a measley little EO.

You don’t understand yet. The words are a cover for their real intentions which are to go after the enemies of Christianity under the guise of investigating hate crimes.

No no but hate crimes are DEI bad word and also only happen to brown people, who deserve it!!!1!1!

Good thing I'm not biased against Christians specifically. Fuck all religions equally - fair and balanced.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Jesus is pretty cool. You show me a christian who follows jesus' teachings, and I'll have mad respect. You give me some dipshit doing the most anti-christlike shit imaginable, but with crosses all around, and I'll make fun of him forever. Just a way of un-tarnishing the brand.

I'm down for whipping church sanctioned conmen and maybe even cursing some figs.

Every time I read something he said it hurts my brain. Everything about his speech patterns is so fucking stupid.

How many EOs does this dickhead have now in these two weeks alone?

How many does a normal president have in a full four year term?

[–] IHeartBadCode@fedia.io 35 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I mean he can sign it, it’s going literally nowhere. But if this ain’t proof that there’s a genuine desire to install a theocracy in the US, then I don’t know what will convince anyone.

The fact that a President even suggests this is a clear tell that some want the US being Iran but with Jesus.

[–] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean he can sign it, it’s going literally nowhere.

This is incorrect. He can sign it, and Bondi will start bringing these cases to court. One would think that it would immediately stop there as the first judge she argues in front of dismisses the case for being blatantly unconstitutional and having her brought up on sanctions for multiple blatant violations of the defendant's constitutional rights.

But in this court system? I wouldn't be so sure. At the very least, I expect at least some people to get caught up in this dragnet and have their lives upended for years until the Supreme Court finally stops dragging their feet. But given this administration, this Supreme Court, and the number of MAGA judges that Trump can forum shop through, there is a non-zero chance this actually succeeds.

It wouldn't be the first time this administration and SCOTUS hand-waves away constitutional protections.

Keep in mind that they also broke into the Treasury system and own the paychecks of every federal employee. If that's not leverage, I don't know what is

They're gearing up to roll out project 2025.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago

They're not "gearing up;" it's steamrolling us as we speak.

And by "anti-xtian bias" he means, not properly privileging xtianity.

That's what these assholes complaining about xtian "persecution" ALWAYS mean. They hate to be ignored, too. Being told that their rules are FOR THEM and not anyone else in their book club, it absolutely infuriates them.

Thats fine, I'm just as happy being fully "anti-religon" for equality.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 days ago

As a reminder: The guy defending Christianity is a rapist and adulterer who set free 1500 criminals, including pedophiles and child rapists.

If Jesus was real, he would bitch slap Trump so hard it would take the paint off his face!
