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!

It's abundantly clear only the minority of the court still has their shame center in tact

Can't be ashamed if you have literally no morals or scruples points to head

Give companies the right to buy blocks of residential housing, remove rent increase caps, kick out those who can't afford rent anymore, send the now homeless to privately owned prisons -> maximum profit for the rich!

Typical conservative behavior. Just punish harder and that solves everything.

I’ve heard my own family members advocate for using weapons against homeless people stealing, and they are liberal. The hatred exists in much more Americans than you probably think, and they aren’t all conservative.

Americans are extremely violent people, Supreme Court just confirms that.

There a few groups that modern society loves to hate on and a brief one line ahy:

  1. Ex-convicts and prisoners - They did something wrong and should not have any rights!
  2. Immigrants - They are taking our jobs/causing this cost of living crisis with their foreign culture.
  3. Poor people - Maybe if they were responsible they wouldn't be living in a tent.
  4. The LGBT community - Ew, perverts.

punishment as scapegoating by controlling the frame

Can’t be ashamed when you’re flying on an all expenses paid vacation to the Caribbean

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

There's not much the Supreme Court has done in the last couple of years that they shouldn't be ashamed of.

Why don't they just stop being poor? 🤷‍♂️ /s

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

They should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Just like I did with mommy and daddy's money. /s

No, it’s ok, it’s what supply-side Jesus would have wanted!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

HUMANITY should be ashamed of this. They’re running news stories about a SC justice’s wife flying flags at one of their multiple homes and we still harass poor folk on park benches?

Demolish the planet and build the bypass already.

San Francisco tried this path eons ago. Didn't go so well then: https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/s-f-abandons-matrix-program-but-brown-says-2999337.php

Let's see how it goes this time.

Honestly, the SC ruling on homelessness is at least #3 on the list of things they should be ashamed of. Below making bribing judges and presidential criminality legal.

Modern self-proclaimed "conservatives" are incapable of shame. Its one of the requirements.

These are the people that tell scientists that the proven science they benefit from every day is bullshit because they feel that the reality is different, proudly, arrogantly, and with a straight face.
