Seems kindof off topic. I put the wrong title with the article and you’re questioning my education level?
Since we are asking questions here let me ask you this: what do you think about a group that say it’s “awful” to not clap for a kid with brain cancer and then turn around and deport a kid (who is a citizen) with cancer?
Sorry, the title about republicans being outraged that democrats wouldn’t give a standing ovation to a kid with brain cancer used as a prop at the state of the union address was incorrectly paired with the article about the republicans that deported a 10 year old US citizen with brain cancer.
What’s interesting is that when you point the hypocrisy, it doesn’t phase them. That’s because for them it’s a power move, as if to say “we get to do this but you don’t.” Except in this case what they did was ten thousand times worse than not clapping for someone.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I put the wrong title for the article that was posted. The story of the 10 year old U.S. citizen with brain cancer being deported is not on fox news, they certainly won’t talk about it there.
VX hobbyists- I’ve noticed a lot of people start off by configuring their encabulators with the original series of kleinhoffer cam ratios, trying to get maximum deltas with the least vacuum pressure possible. It’s really better to start with dylomatic induction coefficients even if it initially seems more complicated, you’ll have an easier time later with the more commonly available j-discs.
It’s uncanny how much this sounds like a universal_monk talking point. And it’s one that I wholeheartedly agree with. The democrats are quite useless and seem extremely unlikely to get their shit together to come up with any meaningful pro working class platform.
And Lemmy as a whole, too- unless I am very mistaken, it seems like mainstream lemmy is firmly in the liberal big-bank capitalist camp. Actual leftists (and here I am excluding tankies, just because of my personal ideological bias, I don’t consider them serious or capable of producing sustainable answers) are still a smallish group.
Here’s hoping that Americans turning away from fascism will see that the democrats are not a viable alternative, and that a third party, or a new way will gain enough momentum and strength to roll over these worthless bastards, conservative and liberal, to build an America that’s good for everyone.
It’s interesting how people post these “articles” on “news sites” that are covered with advertising like “try this one weird trick” or “put a piece of duct tape in your underwear while travelling, here’s why” and try to act like its legit when its clearly not legit.
It’s like those Nigerian prince email scams with deliberate misspellings and bad grammar. Hard to believe anyone with better than a 4th grade education falls for that stuff.
there are many many people that post articles who don’t discuss them at all.
Yea, that’s why I wasn’t talking about you specifically.
This is a conservative news community, for conservative news articles. Please read the sidebar
Exactly. The card says moops.
But I did read the sidebar and the first thing it says is that this is a place for discussion. So if a whole buncha ppl coming here and dropping off “news articles” with no discussion whatsoever, what else am I supposed to think but that these are propaganda bombs meant to disrupt reality and push a false alt-right nazi narrative? Cuz that’s what it looks like.
I wasn’t talking about you specifically, but you’re absolutely right, you don’t have to justify anything.
At the same time, there is no lemmy rule that people can’t ask you why did you post this article? Do you agree/disagree? Is this your opinion and if so how do you come to that conclusion?
And if you can’t or won’t answer, if you don’t discuss topics you bring up in a discussion area, then people are going to conclude you’re not actually here to “express your opinion”, but for some other reason.
This isn’t about having a different opinion though, if that were the case then the people who hold these “opinions” could at least occasionally back them up with a reason, or some ideological framework from which these opinions are produced. But there never seems to be any actual reasoning behind these various opinions. The card says moops

Ontario is suspending its 25 per cent surcharge on exports of U.S.-bound electricity after a top official in the Trump administration offered an “olive branch” in the form of a meeting to discuss the escalating trade war…
According cbc, Trump folded first. I believe the Canadians on this one.
Many of our parents were stressed out, over-worked, under-paid and exhausted. Many of us are stressed out, over-worked, under-paid and exhausted. What’s the common factor? Capitalism.
Not to worry guys, a few tariffs will fix this.
Having had a 50lb bucket of honey I can tell you that honey use goes up dramatically because you say to yourself “well I have so much I can just use it for this, and that, and a little more on my toast…” and then friends come around asking for a little here and a little there. Unless you can be super disciplined in a way that I cannot, 50 pounds will not last more that a couple years.
Oh well never mind then, I thought it was someone else.
Over time, Zero Hedge expanded into non-financial political content,[b] including conspiracy theories and fringe rhetoric[3][24] advancing radical right,[15][25] alt-right,[26][27][28] and pro-Russia positions.[1][29][30][31] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Hedge
Zero Hedge is anti-American propaganda
Seems it may have worked though:
Here is a quote to illustrate to other people how cold, how glib and how dismissive the attitude is for some over real people getting brutally killed. Donald, and this other Donald too apparently, don’t give a fuck about any of that. Getting paid shakedown money is all he seems to care about. Fucking despicable.
Americans always used to root for the underdog. It’s been such a deep part of our culture from the beginning, because we were once the underdog, taking on a huge empire that wanted to subjugate and plunder us.
Now Ukraine is the underdog. Palestine is the underdog.
The suits in Washington today don’t care about any of that. Right or wrong don’t matter any more, just profit by any means possible, including the wholesale slaughter of entire peoples. Fucking despicable is not strong enough to describe it. Makes me just about weep.
Former US ambassador to russia:
Coming out openly on the bad guy’s side is not working for peace. Pushing for the destruction and end of Ukranian sovereignty is not working for peace.

Founded by a eugenicist and a white nationalist, you can’t really get any more neo-nazi than that.
This is straight up no doubt white supremacist propaganda.
You might think that was so long ago it’s not relevant to the current situation.
Farm Aid: 40 Years of Action for Family Farmers and the Good Food Movement In the 1980s, family farmers faced a crisis the likes of which hadn’t been seen since the Great Depression. Plummeting farm product prices and land values, rising interest rates, troubled credit markets and unfair lending practices pushed tens of thousands of farms out of business, forcing millions of people off their land.
It was in this context that Willie Nelson, joined by John Mellencamp and Neil Young, organized a groundbreaking concert in 1985 to raise awareness and funds to help America’s family farmers, sparking a family farm movement that continues to this day.
That continues to this day. That’s because the American agricultural industry never completely recovered from Reagan’s supply-side economics. Did the “free market” eventually adjust to create the most efficient and best system for American agriculture?
No. The most expensive farm subsidies ever and Willie Nelson’s charity concerts combined did not get things back to pre Reagan levels.
History rhymes: farmers voted for Reagan, farmers voted for Trump. It’s happening again, but this time it will be worse.
Sorry, a mixup.
