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!

"Jesus Christ!" said the Christian. "Oh my God!" said the Jew. "Fuck all of those stupid motherfuckers!" said the regular citizens just trying to make a living.

Obviously, Trump is about the most un-Christlike person possible. I don't think Rubio is much better. But even if he was, and I agreed with everything he tried to do, as a Christian I would still want there to be a separation of church and state, as the Constitution intends. But this administration will use anything: religion, conservatives, guns, corruption, lies, war, etc in their pursuit of power and to inflict misery on those they hate. Fuck them all so hard...

It’s also what Jesus intended.

Unfortunately the vast majority of your religious brethren do not agree with you and think that American is a Christian country, that should stand by Christian morals above all.

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

They're not Christians. They're criminals.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 hours ago

They are definitely Christians too. You don't get to disown them because their existence is inconvenient to you.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

What exactly is the difference?

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 31 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

Not Christian, evangelical made up nonsense far removed from any teachings of the Christ

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

No true Christian, amirite guys?

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Not really. I am a Rosicrucian. But let’s not pretend evangelicals practice any teachings of the Christ

[–] Corvidae@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Preach the New Testament, while practicing the Old.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

Which is very par for the course.

Can someone remind the Latino that he's a means to an end and not really in the club?

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 12 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I’m with ya. Funny thing is Marco’s body language. He looks as though he couldn’t be possibly any more miserable than he is. He sits there with a faraway stare and only acts under hardline orders from some higher up the chain.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, I've wondered what kind of dirt they have on him. He clearly never wants to be there.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Prolly why he's doing this.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 5 points 15 hours ago

He's a fucking comprador gusano.

[–] fubo@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Antichristian, that is; in service to Mammon and to the Beast 666, Nero redivivus.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 hours ago

Sorry, there is nothing antichristian about this. The Bible literally endorses slavery, stop pretending like they're some kind of moral paragon.
