Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

Every major news outlet that reported on this said Driscoll resigned due to conflict with Hegseth. Don't believe random tweets just because they start with "NEW:" or "BREAKING:"
On the one hand, Driscoll did have a meeting to discuss the current state of the army with Trump the week before he resigned. On the other hand a quick search of who this Dominic Michael Tripi is opened a deep and weird rabbit hole. I would take anything he tweets with a few grains if not a pound of salt...
Lol the dude clearly isn't real. Just a maga bot.
Seriously this type of crap has to end. But also more people need to have some skepticism.
I know it’s forgotten a lot, but this is political memes not politicalnews
People also forget what memes are, but we usually overlook that.
Because we live in a meme world now
Memes are basically what got Trump elected in the first place. They're a way of smuggling bullshit into people's memories.
"Every major news outlet" is fucking meaningless these days. Mainstream media has fallen so far that their articles are, at best, misleading and a distraction; outright lies and propaganda at worst. They don't give a shit about verifying the truth anymore and will kill stories the moment it inconveniences anyone in power. The fourth branch is fucking dead. They have been defanged, declawed, and sold off to billionaires who keep them around like trained gimps.
And yes, random tweets are not better; but if you still think any major news outlet still has even a shred of credibility left, you haven't been paying attention.
I agree that mainstream media is fully compromised, but good independent reporting has just been silently migrating to youtube. The fourth branch is only as dead as you allow it to get.
What's some good YouTube reporters? Know of any good podcasts (easier format for me)?
I agree there are still good independent reporters. But the point is that they don't fall under the category of "Every major news outlet". Even when independent reporters make in-depth reports on what should be bombshell topics, major news outlets won't even mention it. They have all been captured and corrupted.
