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 hate the source but it's the only one reporting it. The video is in the article.

If it's the only place reporting it, maybe you should wait for a less biased source to weigh in before posting it.

She has been a piece of shit for a while. This isn't new.

[–] athos77@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm not saying that the article is wrong. I'm saying that people form their initial ideas about a situation based on their first impression, and that even with a willing listener who is willing to change their mind, it's harder for any subsequent information to make an impression. By posting content from a source with known biases that deals in propaganda, you both shittify the content and legitimize the source.

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

No, this is on me. I can't remember if I even read the article. It's just the things she's said and done since I was a teenager. She's been a senator for a very long time.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It's ironic that she's calling people out for being spies and foreign agents.

She's bought and paid for by Israel.

If you don't want to give them views you can watch the video here: https://x.com/halalflow/status/1752021755995025689?s=20

What if you don't want to give the Daily Wire views or contribute to Twitter's view count? You know- something less Nazi-adjacent if not just Nazi proper.

Russia, China, they’ll probably be North Korean or Iranian next.

[–] GarrulousBrevity@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It should be a red flag that only one news source is reporting it.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It just happened, it'll be picked up soon enough. I can't just link directly to the video. You can only post an article here.

[–] GarrulousBrevity@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This has not been picked up by any reputable sources. Mostly because I don't believe it just happened. According to Code Pink, who organized the protest being filmed, this event happened in October, and the protester who the comment was directed to is on Day 8 of a fast, which probably means this event did not happen yesterday. Though this is also very heavily biased reporting.

The daily wire is reposting it as news to drum up ire and views. It should still be a red flag when only one source is posting something, and it should prompt you to dig a little deeper.

That said, it seems pretty likely that this is something she really said a few months ago, and that mixed with her recent interviews where she blames Russia... It's not great.

What if we don't wanna give Former-Twitter views?

Haha, just giving you a hard time, bud. I hate them all :(

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Somebody, please tell me this isn't real. I have not the heart to click the article, nor the video link.

Based on the title, it sounds like her response was Trump-like and it's disheartening.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is Daily Wire. They're not in the business of facts.

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The video content is the same regardless of the source. She is trash that should have been taken to the curb decades ago

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How do you know it's the same?

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

Ive seen the exact same video on several sources

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.one 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She's been in politics too long. Remember when she whined about how politicians are people too. So it's perfectly fine to use classified information that only members of Congress have to trade stocks. Like insider trading, but it's OK because She's a politician.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Like insider trading, but it’s OK because She’s a politician.

actually, it's still insider trading, and still illegal. not that it's enforced, so not really illegal. just... you know... sternly worded regulations.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

It's real, unfortunately.

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

It sounds Trump like because they are all the same. She was all about 'resist' during Trump while giving him everything he asked for.
