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!

Stephen Miller is a fascist, racist, ugly, piece of shit.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

So... Stephen Miller is a conservative.

[–] DarkGamer@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Let's outlaw indoctrinating children into religion as well, then.

[–] mrbubblesort@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'd love to see them play the uno reverse and say "all right, we agree, no christian products, no jewish, no muslim, no jesus christmas items, not even a kosher pickle" for like a day or so, search and replace lgbtq with religion, then counter sue him and the "investor" he's representing with the same suit.

That’s the way

I don’t think they are remotely equivalent.

One is about acceptance, equality, loving thyself and thy neighbor, and isn’t making anyone something they aren’t already. The other is disgusting, evil, vile, and actually harmful for young brains.

[–] DarkGamer@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I'm amused that you wrote that in a way that each side will assume they are the accepting, neighbor-loving side you're talking about.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

He's like 35, isn't he?

Sad to see all that hate twist him into the Wish version of C. Montgomery Burns

[–] o_o@artemis.camp 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok, but who has the money? The parents, who care what they sell in the store, isn't that what "capitalism" is all about? Let the market decide, stop getting butt hurt about everything and anything.

[–] ElBarto@lzrprt.sbs 10 points 1 year ago

But the market decided on something that makes me feel scared and weird inside and I don't like it!

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Propaganda is ‘biased information to promote a political point of view.’

LBGTQ is not political. It’s just a personal lifestyle preference.

The only people making it political are dipshits like Stephen Miller.

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

So ... the shitty people are seeking damages because they say Target failed to recognize how shitty they are?

[–] comedy@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Dude has 216 shares, out of 460.9 million outstanding shares of Target. Even if Target has to pay for the loss of value in share price (they won't), they could pay this dude without breaking a sweat. Also, Stephen Miller is a Nazi.

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

When did the little Nazi prick stop using spray-on hair?

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

The problem, exemplified by Rudy Ghouliani, is that the spray-on hair and cheap dye jobs will run down your face when you sweat. Often, sweat runs into your eyes. And as you can probably guess, when that sweat contains dye products, you get dye running right into your eyeballs.

And then you can Nazi.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

God, what a fucking dork.

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

I'm sick to my ass of Meager-mind. Hell, even his parents won't talk to him, because even they see him for what we all know him to be... a dangerous fascist.

[–] Fhek@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Hol’up.

First they caused an uproar protesting rainbow “LGBQT” shirts that have been sold for many years now…

Now they’re pissed off their uproar caused their shitbag friends/investors to lose money?

[–] nullPointer@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

but they are ok with the 'thin blue line' pedo merchandise.

[–] evatronic@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

So the crux of the suit appears to be a claim that the Board of Target lied when it said it monitored social media, by "only monitoring one side".

All Target has to do is demonstrate they monitored social media in a side-agnostic fashion and this is done in like, summary judgement.

[–] wren@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I can't wait to be sued for kissing my fiancée in public lmao (for legal reasons that's a joke)

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

OK then, if that's so important to them then do churches next.

[–] Grant_M@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago

Good luck, goebbels
