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!

Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) pushed back against Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, after he suggested the DOJ investigate her for “aiding and abetting” illegal immigration.

Homan accused her of helping people evade ICE by educating constituents on their constitutional rights. AOC dismissed the threats, challenging Homan to proceed and calling him a “coward.”

Tensions are high over immigration enforcement and civil liberties, with AOC arguing that informing people of their rights is legally protected.

Explain if you even understood the comment

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Just ignore the account that called her delulu, they're being a Musk apologist elsewhere.

Delulu means they think she is crazy. Like deluded.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Do what I did: Google “what is delulu”

[–] halictuz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Nice accusation. Ignore this accounts comment.

He is being a Stalin/Hitler/Putin apologist elsewhere.

Interesting that you can't back up your own words from earlier but have the time, energy and effort for being accusatory to anyone who calls you out.

No wonder you've deleted most of your comment history despite being here two years.

Backup? Its an opinion I've about that individual. There is nothing to backup. You don't like it? Your problem, move on. I don't need to backup my opinions to anyone.

Where is the backup of all your claims in here? Accusing me of shit without any evidence. Fuxking hypocrite double standard shit.

You just posting emotional opinions too, not facts. So gtfo and stop starting an rage bait battle. Is this reddit here or what?

Pretty sure this is you defending Musk. But you do you, man. Pretend that people can't see that shit.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

So you're simply admitting to shitposting and trolling?

[–] grumpydwarf@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

Out of curiosity, what is your native language? Your English is very good.

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

You're a coward.

[–] halictuz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

Just watch what she talks about and HOW she argues with stupid illogical nonsense about almost everything in house hearings/congress etc.

She exists in another reality. In her own.

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago

So, you have nothing, coward.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Give a clear example bud.

I get that playing the contrarian is fun and makes you feel cool and smart, but if you can't actually back up what you say, it makes you look like a dumbass.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 month ago

Oh noes! Woman who talk good and know words? And not in kitchen!!

So scawy.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 month ago
