    Hegseth is a cartoon villain that shouldn’t be anywhere near a position of power

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reposted and praised a video interview of a self-described Christian nationalist pastor whose church doesn’t believe women should be allowed to vote.

      We should start treating these goons like actual cartoon villains. Cartoon villains usually get thwarted on a weekly basis.

        We’re living in the Boondocks cartoon.

        The white villains get away with everything.

        That’s too kind, they deserve to be the victims in a slasher flick.

        Or just put them on a Star Trek set wearing their favorite color.

            Got curious… apparently there was a Trump Tower Wolfenstein mod (wolf and doom are easy to mod with simple graphic changes, so I figured someone did it)

            Unfair to the Nazis in Wolfenstein, their biggest threat is BJ Blaskowitz. These fuckers biggest threat is a bad heart attack or liver failure.

      Trump’s spiritual advisor is a woman. Everyone will be out for a power grab when he dies. Right now they just pretend to be ok with whatever doesn’t align with their beliefs.

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

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!
