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!

So much for the free market, huh?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 91 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The market is only free to do exactly what Republicans want and no more or less.

[–] rarely@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

The free marketplace of my ideas.

[–] Lemmylefty@lemmy.world 68 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stephen Miller is what you get if you take Steve Bannon and change his blood from 80 proof to concentrated formaldehyde.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Stephen Miller is what you get if you eat a ton of Taco Bell burritos and then shit in a bag.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Y'all said exactly the same thing

[–] pelicans_plight@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know, a bag of shit can at least be used as fertilizer. I can't think of any use for Stephen Miller though.

Let's outlaw indoctrinating children into religion as well, then.

[–] mrbubblesort@kbin.social 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I'd love to see them play the uno reverse and say "all right, we agree, no christian products, no jewish, no muslim, no jesus christmas items, not even a kosher pickle" for like a day or so, search and replace lgbtq with religion, then counter sue him and the "investor" he's representing with the same suit.

[–] timespace@sedd.it 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don’t think they are remotely equivalent.

One is about acceptance, equality, loving thyself and thy neighbor, and isn’t making anyone something they aren’t already. The other is disgusting, evil, vile, and actually harmful for young brains.

[–] DarkGamer@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

I'm amused that you wrote that in a way that each side will assume they are the accepting, neighbor-loving side you're talking about.

[–] Hangglide@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

He is going after churches next, right? Propaganda to youth and all.

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Silly liberal. The word of God can’t be propaganda because .

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stephen Miller is a fascist, racist, ugly, piece of shit.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

So... Stephen Miller is a conservative.

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So ... the shitty people are seeking damages because they say Target failed to recognize how shitty they are?

[–] lolola@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shitty people are seeking damages because a company failed to sufficiently insulate itself against the shitty things that those same shitty people were doing.

He's like 35, isn't he?

Sad to see all that hate twist him into the Wish version of C. Montgomery Burns

[–] aircooledJenkins@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Born August 1985.

He's 37 going on 55.

Hate ages you.

[–] marx2k@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Holy shit that guy is in his 30s?? I would have guessed late 40s.

Wow

Except in any way that would actually help anyone.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 year ago

OK then, if that's so important to them then do churches next.

[–] Grumble@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Let's give this a more reasonable title: "Stephen Miller Launches Advertising Campaign / Fundraiser Using Meritless Lawsuit"

[–] akai@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

When did the little Nazi prick stop using spray-on hair?

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

The problem, exemplified by Rudy Ghouliani, is that the spray-on hair and cheap dye jobs will run down your face when you sweat. Often, sweat runs into your eyes. And as you can probably guess, when that sweat contains dye products, you get dye running right into your eyeballs.

And then you can Nazi.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

He only did it that one time, got ridiculed mercilessly, and never did it again.

We all just need to ridicule this little pissant mercilessly.

Everything about his face gives me pedophile vibes.

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm sick to my ass of Meager-mind. Hell, even his parents won't talk to him, because even they see him for what we all know him to be... a dangerous fascist.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

That's the thing that really gets me. He's such a gaping anus, even his own parents hate him.

Ok, but who has the money? The parents, who care what they sell in the store, isn't that what "capitalism" is all about? Let the market decide, stop getting butt hurt about everything and anything.

[–] ElBarto@lzrprt.sbs 13 points 1 year ago

But the market decided on something that makes me feel scared and weird inside and I don't like it!

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Propaganda is ‘biased information to promote a political point of view.’

LBGTQ is not political. It’s just a personal lifestyle preference.

The only people making it political are dipshits like Stephen Miller.

[–] comedy@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dude has 216 shares, out of 460.9 million outstanding shares of Target. Even if Target has to pay for the loss of value in share price (they won't), they could pay this dude without breaking a sweat. Also, Stephen Miller is a Nazi.

It really isn't fair to that actor, but he always looks like the Ant-Man villain to me.

[–] fubo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Stephen "Darren 'MODOK' Cross" Miller

How his face look as big as MODOK but on a small mans body?

Wtf happened to his guy he used to be so cool? Abracadabra and Fly Like an Eagle are American classics. So sad to see how he's been radicalized

but they are ok with the 'thin blue line' pedo merchandise.

Remember: Only by submitting to Rapist #1 can you be protected from Rapist #2!

[–] evatronic@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

So the crux of the suit appears to be a claim that the Board of Target lied when it said it monitored social media, by "only monitoring one side".

All Target has to do is demonstrate they monitored social media in a side-agnostic fashion and this is done in like, summary judgement.

Good. Let this dickbag waste his own and other’s money on a suit they obviously won’t win. To quote the Great General Hux: “I don’t need [Target] to win, I want [Stephen Miller] to lose.”
