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!

So is he going to eradicate himself? Because he's basically the antichrist...

How dare you talk about God Emperor rump like that! Straight to Guantanamo!

He's off to a bad start; announcements like that only serve to increase anti-Christian bias, mine included.

I see no statements from Muslim communities who helped him to grab this presidency. I would like to know their reaction to this.

If you’re trying to root out antichristian behavior, you might start with the antichrist himself.

Too bad they won't address all the "Christians" that make it their mission to live drunk on cruelty and schaudenfreude.

If being Christian has anything to do with honoring and following the tenets of Jesus of Nazareth as written in the New Testament, there isn't a single Christian in the Republican party.

They use Jesus like a mask or totem to be on "I win morality" base while almost exclusively advocating inhuman atrocities like destroying families and doing the opposite of everything in their supposed own book they've clearly never read.

It's not like they try but fall short either. This isn't no true Scotsman, all they do is hate. When is the last time you've seen a Republican express love for anyone that wasn't rooted in angering (hating) their innumerable enemies? Is Jesus not love?

They don't believe in good or bad acts. They believe in good or bad people. Good people do good things. Bad people do bad things. They believe in Jesus, so they must be good. You don't, so you must be bad. Now any action against you in justified, cause they do good and you do bad and bad must be stopped by good. Doesn't matter what you're doing, and doesn't matter what they do to you. The morality has already been established.

Does this mean I can potentially create an organization that has the goals of flipping over tables that sell stuff at churches?

He also chased the money-changers out of the temple with a whip. Make sure to include that part too.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

It’s “Antichristian bias”. In other words, bias against the Antichrist.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Good luck with that, fuckos.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

If you remove the anti, all you’re left with is the pro.

By design in this case. 250 years of a lie lol.

Nobody expects the American inquisition

The Crusades never ended.

This is all totally normal. I'm sure the Democrats will convene a committee to write a white paper about it or something...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

DOGE will shut it down, right?

...

Right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

totally sane.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

This is just a pivot for his blame game. People are finding out that immigrants, gays and DEI aren't the problem so he needs new fall guy.
