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 defining word would be murderer

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's a fuckin turncoat jackboot murder.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 19 points 2 days ago

Can you be a turncoat if you've never been on the right side of history?

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago

He's a pussy ass traitor who loves defending pedophiles.

Ross married his wife, 38, who was identified by The Daily Mail but not named, in 2012. She has parents who live in the Philippines, though Ross's father, Ed, 80, said that she is a U.S. citizen. He did not say how long she has been in the country, stating, "I do not want to go any further than that."

Ross's family and friends describe him as a hardcore conservative Christian and MAGA supporter, who sports "Don't Tread on Me" flags and Trump/Vance stickers. Social media posts reveal him arguing with his family over the white supremacist group the Proud Boys.

His sister, Nicole, posted a photo on Facebook in October 2020 of herself wearing a face mask with the caption, "I denounce and condemn white supremacy," the outlet reports. Ross replied in a comment that has since been deleted, prompting Nicole to respond, "we have to respectfully disagree. You are my brother and I love you, but we will not engage in a debate on Facebook."

defended white supremacists online

i'm sure he treats his not-white immigrant wife like a queen and not a slave /s

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

For sure she's got $thousands and a getaway cache secreted close by.

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Non-white people can be racist too. She married him so she likely carries a lot of the same feelings and views.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's an ICE agent. It's a given he's a white supremacist. No one should be surprised.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

A white supremacist married to an Asian immigrant.

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

Stephen Miller s wife is Jewish.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Stephen Miller is himself Jewish. Like with Latinos, Jewishness is an ethnicity rather than a race, and the white Jews can buy into white supremacy even when other white supremacists might reject them as white.

Stereotypical

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure he's a piece of shit.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Excuse you, shit can be used for fertilizer and energy production. What is this chuckle fuck good for?

[–] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 days ago

Tbh, fertilizer might be the best use in both cases.

When I hear impossibly good encomiums like this pronounced as a defense when their loved one openly gets caught doing something heinous, it has the opposite effect on me, to the point they'd be better off just shutting their mouths. This is from Ed Ross, the murderer's dad:

You would never find a nicer, kinder person,' the father added about his son. 'He's a committed, conservative Christian, a tremendous father, a tremendous husband. I couldn't be more proud of him.' -- from the Daily Mail article

Yeah. Tremendous. That's what people said about Ted Bundy fifty years ago, and it's always the same. This is not a joke and I'm not exaggerating: Bundy was active in his community, very popular to the point he even considered running for public office. The author Ann Rule met him while volunteering on the same mental health help line, helping people to not commit suicide on the night watch -- and the whole time Bundy was doing his weird, dark, vile, unnatural murder shit. Over and over again.

And Bundy is just one instance out of countless many; I can't remember a single time when all this impossibly high praise turned out to be anything more than worthless, empty words after someone really evil gets busted. It's more like a hint to look harder for the bodies.

So when I see shit like this I just think Keep telling me about your Ed Gein spawn, motherfucker. Carry on.

UwU bbbut my dad thinks I'm twemendous.

[–] Gathorall@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

A committed conservative christian in one's dream job since antiquity, murdering foreigners and minorities.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

committed conservative christian

Yeah, this is not the endorsement that conservative xtians think it is. A lot of people hear that and immediately put them in the suspicious column.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Isn't breaking windows the rather normal MO of ICE-IS at this point?

[–] ChonkyLincoln@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago

He needs to face murder charges. Lock Him Up!

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I would never wish death on someone.

Now a lifetime of significant pain and an extremely itchy butthole… that’s a different subject.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

...you hope they surfer a bit...?

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Imma go with: Reoccurring stage 3 cancer that spreads from organ to organ leaving him in miraculasly survivable unending rounds of chemotherapy and unsurmountable medical debt. And a pineapple up the ass every day at 3pm.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 4 points 2 days ago

wish him scabies and short arms

Colonialism coming back to the home country.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's from Peoria Illinois and a passport bro.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

The only reason I know of Peoria is Rampage.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Where is he now?
