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!

"Look at what happened this week, what President Biden and his team have been able to do: to distract America with this trial and we're not talking about the open Border," she told the host. "The fact that President Biden is violating federal law by allowing this [sic] —."

Some people really lie every time they open there mouth. Just a nonstop torrent of lies.

I believe her when she says she murdered her puppy. So she’s able to tell the truth,

TBH what if even that was a lie? It's not like anybody can confirm it at this point. Maybe she just wants to be seen as an executioner loyalist type.

[–] FuglyDuck 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Naw. Some one that was making that shit up to look tough or whatever would have realized “puppy killer” is not a good title to have.

The only person that probably thought killing that puppy was cool was Trump himself, and that because he hates dogs- and they hate him back.

We're talking about a Trump Loyalist, "open border" conspiracy theorist, anti-women's rights woman. I don't expect them to realize jack shit, and I also reject the notion that this sort of behavior would be a negative in the eyes of powerful and influential people in the USA.

Many - many- people who also fit that description ripped into her. Basically it’s one of or the only thing everybody agrees on.

Also listen to the way she talks about it. It’s a fond memory, she talks about it the same way I do when I talk about Lucy discovering her favorite sound being children squealing (after a ninja-ear-lick) or how she stages squeak toys as booby traps if she decides you’re not paying her enough attention.

I think you might be in a bit of a bubble on this issue. Some recent polls show her leading by 19%, other have her roughly tied with the DNC candidate in South Dakota. She's received endorsements from Trump and the NRA. If it's such a concavebrain scheme then it really shouldn't be working so well.

or the people being polled just don't care if they're voting for a puppy killing bitch. I mean, they voted for Trump, right? not exactly a group concerned with ethics... or they think democrats are somehow worse.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Turns out the lie is that it's not her puppy, but someone else's, or that she had an abortion, and decided to her base, puppy killer was preferred

CNN Host:

"I'd like to hear your thoughts on something"

Noem:

nest of angry wasps in her head grows louder

god I wish Hillary was savvy enough to endorse donald trump and singlehandedly judo flip 25 years of insane right wing coverage onto trump.

That the DNC didn’t have this idea 20 years ago is a tragedy

[–] Rapidcreek 6 points 8 months ago

Thought she'd turn tail after the puppy, as it where...

Kristi Noem's tears are especially delicious 😋
