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!

I'd be incredibly insulted if I were an ASU student. They think they're going to encourage people to NARC by showing off this T-shirt. That's what they think of the capacity of ASU students.

So report the college Republicans to immigration and get a T-shirt to burn.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I reported the bigots, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt and a better world.

"Hey, babe! New Hitler Youth merch just dropped!"

"They're labeling themselves?"

"Yeah! They got race-supremecy friends and everything!"

"Let me grab my grampa's bat. He beat so many Nazis with this...at the game of baseball of course."

"Of course."

Was your grandpa the Bear Jew by any chance?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hmm? I'm not familiar with that term. He just left me this bat with his friends' signatures on it, and a few religious symbols. It's pretty stained, but it's got a lot of sentimental value. He didn't say much except that he used it to teach Nazis a lesson by beating them...at the game of baseball. Always that pause near the end as grandma gave him a sharp look. She must have not wanted me to hear about his baseball stories.

It's what they called one of the characters in "Inglorious Bastards", who beat a Nazi to death with a baseball bat

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The commenter was playing along and implying Grandpa's bat was blood-stained.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

This is correct. I was just trying to be ironic. Sorry if I baited anyone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thanks for being kind to me and assuming the best. As it is, I was doing an ironic shtick in the same vein.

No, you're sincere. We need more of that.

For anyone who hasn’t seen Here’s a clip

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

He had many names.

Both of those shirts would work great on range target.

Big circle for the chest, small white area near the heart.

Print some targets with those shirt patterns and take em to a range!

Naw, man. You'd get your ass beat wearing something like that

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Inflation's gotten so bad, nowadays all you get is a T-shirt. Used to be you could get 40 pieces of silver for it.

I reported the bigots, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt and a better world.

Sorry to reuse my comment, but it seems to fit here.

Also, wouldn't this actually be deflation in the value of silver and / or inflation of the value of labor relative to it?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

30... 30 pieces of silver. :)

Current value? $939.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

I see you studied your Comparitive Economics of Historic Treachery.

Building on this, it's true that the current value of that amount of silver is probably only a few hundred dollars, but at the time, it may have been months worth of salary for a laborer.

“I consigned 2 adults and 3 children to a concentration camp and all I got was this stupid t-shirt”

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I will buy a T-shirt for anyone who beats the shit out of a nazi

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

Gosh, I don't really like t-shirts. Can I get a sticker instead?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

When just writing "I am a piece of shit of a human being" on your T-Shirt just isn't good enough.....

"We believe it is up to us, the regular American people to pick up the civic duty and try to bring those numbers up,” said ~~Alvarado~~ the Nazi youth. “We don’t believe its adequate what Trump Administration is doing when it comes to deportations.”

"It's ok though, they're not Jewish so it's fine! We aren't Nazis! We just want to round up a created enemy and shove them into concentration camps! You're overreacting!"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

It's only Nazism if it comes from the Nazi region of Germany in the 1930s. Otherwise it's just sparkling... no, actually, still Nazism.

Who would've guessed Republicans would be a bunch of Nazi pick-mes?

Gotta show their devotion to the cult.

Red trucker hat and a t-shirt: Nazi uniform minus the fashion sense.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago
