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!

From the article

Katyal is an MSNBC mainstay who came to prominence as a liberal defender of Republican president Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominees, all of whom will now rule on the case. In recent years, Katyal has helped Nestlé defend itself in a child slavery case before the Supreme Court and represented Johnson & Johnson in its bid to use bankruptcy to block lawsuits from cancer victims.

Modern society needs a way to deal with people who are cartoonishly evil. Maybe we should start trying to drop anvils on them or something...

Think pointier and more french

[–] muse@kbin.social 39 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Ahhh... baguette. taps head loud and clear.

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is a baguette even pointier than an anvil?

The answer is clearly the Eiffel tower smh

[–] muse@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

You're right my b ✌️😔

If you do a more rustic baguette and roll the ends tight and pointy then it could be more pointed then the horn of an anvil. Also anvils are heavier on the bottom so would likely drop bottom down not horn first.

I am a former baker and also tried a bit of blacksmithing.

Also eat the rich, don't waste their well fed bodies.

Nah, their bodies make perfect projectiles when lit.

YEET THE RICH

Also they’re probably really high in cholesterol, even with all those expensive cholesterol drugs in em.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 year ago

I also imagine the rich would be very tender and very flavourful because of all the not really working and only exploiting the labour of others.

I look forward to firing up the BBQ and eating the rich.

I need you to step back from the head for your own safety.

[–] Ubermeisters@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yo if there's some extra head around here..

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

That's one way to get ahead...

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

We already have a way we've just been conditioned not to use it.
