  • Trump Escalates War on Leftists With Antifa Foreign Terror Label

    Jump

  • Anti-Christianity and anti-capitalism have nothing at all to do with "terrorism". There are plenty of Christian and capitalist and neofascist terrorists as we all saw on 1-6-2001. The founding fathers said in the Tripoli treaty that the USA is not a Christian country, it is a country with freedom of religion. Even "anti-American" does not necessarily mean anyone is engaged in terrorism. Probably only a small fraction of such people are. Ironically Traitorapist Trump and GOP neofascist's War On Democracy are the chief anti-American threat in the country today.

  • They probably aren't even counting all the political scams and disinformation. In the past year FB has tried to push right wing extremist propaganda from about 40-50 different sources on me, despite me banning each one, one at a time. What the fuck FB??? Why are you trying super hard to peddle Fascism on Americans? Why are the people running FB such incredible sociopaths? I also got 4 posts from left/liberal sources, and I rejected those too. Why the f*ck would anybody wish to use something as crappy and untrustworthy as Facebook to get political information from? Only if the source was Bernie Sanders himself would I consider "subscribing".

    Zuckerberg deserves the phrase "fascist sociopath" on his tombstone.

  • ‘Good luck, losers’: Gavin Newsom responds to Republican lawsuit over Prop 50

    Jump

  • At the same time, nobody loves to fold a winning hand more than the Democrats.

    That's what so great about Newsom accomplishing this. After making some early missteps, Newsom is successfully fighting back and it is so refreshing to see that it's not just progressives anymore who are pushing back hard against Traitorapist Trump.

  • He lovingly caters to a class so wealthy that they feel no allegence to any country or nation. While at the same time decrying globalists.

    This is an excellent point.

    The term globalist is just another dogwhistle in the long history of fascist dogwhistles.

    Traitorapist Trump getting billions of $$ from the Saudis for his "cybercoin" he invented out of thin air makes him quite the globalist also.

  • Donald Trump enters his lame duck era

    Jump

  • Is he claiming that there are 3 years he’s got his hands glued together?

    Nope. Its not claiming that. The article is pointing out a significant thing just happened. For the very first time in this term, GOP congressmen rejected a major demand of Traitorapist Trump. That is the definition of "lame duck" status. The implication is that now that GOP congressmen have successfully rejected a major Trump demand without any negative consequences at all, its going to be much easier to do this in the future. It doesn't mean that every Trump request will be denied, just that Trump's bullying should be much less effective now. Not only does Traitorapist not have unlimited powers, even his own party is rejecting him now.

  • Lawrence O'Donnell Brutally Highlights Latest Reason Why 'Donald Trump Is Living In Fear'

    Jump

  • Lawrence O'Donnell regularly delivers devastating critiques on Trump, his incompetent flunkies, and the embarrassing failure of the media such as the New York Times and white house press corps to cover him competently. He often compares today's events with how things worked in the past to show just how badly things have become fucked up today. This is my favorite news show and the only one I record so I don't miss it.

    Jump

  • Misandry exists

    Yes. But that still doesn't justify lemmy.world PTB censoring speech. People need to understand that censoring speech (except for hate speech) is almost always counter productive because it deprives us of a chance to tell those that are wrong why they are wrong and for people to hear why they are wrong. And possibly a chance to learn something new.

  • I noticed the striking similarities between the US Republican Party and the Russian Communist Party long ago. The lip service about "smaller government" while in reality loving victimless crime laws and big brother government. The love of dishonesty and disinformation. Encouraging followers to suspend all critical thinking skills and embrace shallow dogmas and cult of personality. Trying to rule through bullying and intimidation. Love of authoritarianism. The ultimate emphasis on raw power over ideology.

    This stuff is especially ironic given the false claims of right wing kooks that anything they don't like is "communist". Republicans are the actual "communist" threat because they use the same tactics and have the same contempt for democracy as the Bolsheviks.

  • He falsely accused me of being "transphobic". Then censored me and when I called him out either banned me sitewide or caused me to be banned when I was closing in on 2000 lemmy submissions. Then I later read how JL went to a trans community and acted like a jerk to the people there. Incredible. I've never posted to a trans community but if I did I would be fully respectful of the people there.

    I returned to reddit for awhile and made a post about it. So because JL didn't want a few people on a lemmy.world submission to read my reply to him, a much larger number of people on reddit have read my reply to him. And on reddit a lot of people don't understand the difference between lemmy and lemmy.world, so this guy has done lots of damage to lemmy's reputation.

  • sidebar?

    Look at this bullshit on the sidebar.

    [ 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.]

    This means: JL can and frequently does totally ignore his own rules and censors and bans people without any justification. Because you have an opinion that he does not like or is slightly to the right or left of his opinions or he is just too ignorant to understand what you are saying.

    That means there are tons of unwritten rules on stuff he mods. It means he is just as bad if not worse than the worst mods on reddit are. There is no reason for anyone to post to anything this guy mods.
