Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Uh... No? I'm mad that Americans seem to be more mad that the mass murder is being done incompetently than about the mass murder itself. It's like competent mass murder is acceptable but bad ospec is not.
Well now I'm mad that you seem to be more mad about how people on social media react to bad opsec than the mass murder itself. It's like mass murder is acceptable but reacting the wrong way to bad opsec is not.
You're being disingenuous and you know it. In the context of mass murder, bad opsec is a good thing and not something to be mad at to begin with.
In this context, bad opsec is hilarious.
In a dark comedy way.
I'm being facetious, a little satire, at your expense, because the call is coming from inside the house.
I think most people find this worth a laugh to cope with the horror of the reality, but you only seem to take this as a reason to be bad at liberals.
I suspect anything that fascists do is for you a reason to be mad at liberals.
To an extent yes, because who do you think let the fascists get in charge?
Everybody?
Obviously, first responsibility for fascists taking control goes to the fascists.
Next would be anyone who allies themselves with fascist or helps attack the opposition to fascists.
Next would be anybody complacent, who watched and did nothing.
Last would be the people who opposed the fascists.
Exactly. Now realize that the most credible threat to fascism is/was the left and see where that puts pro-establishment liberals.
It's definitely not the left threatening fascists.
See again: weird left/MAGA alliance. Leftists and fascists united in their hate of liberals.
You're the literal proof of this, you were more bothered with random liberals online than the fascists dripping bombs on Yemen.
I cannot fathom how you arrive at such a conclusion. Like, I figure you know not to trust the "news" anymore; but, dude, don't trust the media?
I'm not sure why you're assuming I'm MAGA (or even remotely rightwing), but either way I'm not getting this from the news or any other media; I'm arriving at this conclusion from the reactions of people right here on the Fediverse. Like seriously, compare the outrage at the leak to the outrage (or lack thereof) when Trump announced he was back to bombing Yemen. Everyone has been angrily criticizing the Trump admin for being incompetent and I've only seen one person say anything about how that's better than if they were competently murdering people on the other side of the world.
I don't see it. There's some pretty big jumps to get from a to b.
What? That liberals basically don't care Trump is bombing Yemenis?
Ah-ha, the goalposts move.
No. The incompetence of those responsible is irrelevant.
I'm done, anyway...
