      I literally woke my partner up laughing. So he donated to Kamala and appointed Walz to a position. They have both been endorsed by him. This is so delicious

      Trump on Walz: “…He’s very heavy into transgender. Anything transgender he thinks is great … I think it’s very insulting to Jewish people.”

        Did he actually say that? My God, the man’s brains have been replaced with rancid oatmeal, and he never noticed the difference.

    As president, Trump appointed Walz to serve on the Council of Governors in 2019. The bipartisan advisory council consists of five Democratic and five Republican governors and helps build federal-state partnerships in matters of homeland security and civil support missions.

    interests of governors across the nation are accurately represented on the council

    Is this just bad wording? Shouldn’t it be the interests of the people whom the governors represent?

      No, it is accurate. The committee was about the interests of the governors in the context of differences between states, and while the governor’s interests should align with the people they represent, they don’t always line up.

        In my state it doesn’t like up at all. “I see there’s a lot of hunters and fishermen in this state. How about we sell more land to giant corporations and poison the waterways with farm runoff?” And half of them are like “anything to own the libs! Hyuck hyuck!”

    This sub would be better with political topics and discussions and not with politicians ads.

      How is this conversation not a political discussion? What makes this an ‘ad’? I’m just curious for your point of view.

                I don’t follow many of these but the ones i came across had more discussions and less electoral campaign news. Even hexbear has better discussion threads than this sub

          We’re here discussing a recent political development in real time as the media is covering it. I don’t know what else to tell you. 🤷

                I think, not to put words in anyone’s mouth, that this person is looking for Greek or Roman Senate-levels of debate on the philosophies of democracy and an “elevated discourse”. I’d imagine they think all this we’re concerned with (you know, the future of democracy in the U. S.) is pedestrian.

                Kind of: “iam14andverysmart” material.

        You shout like that, you’re a fascist. Right away. No trial, no nothing. Journalists, we have a special fascism for journalists. You are stealing: fascist. You are playing music too loud: fascist, right away.

        Driving too fast: fascist. Slow: fascist. You are charging too high prices for sweaters, glasses: you fascist.

        You undercook fish? Believe it or not, fascist. You overcook chicken, also fascist. Undercook, overcook.

        You make an appointment with the dentist and you don’t show up, believe it or not, fascist, right away.

        We have the best posters in the world because of fascist.

            It’s from parks and rec (sorta):

            https://youtu.be/eiyfwZVAzGw?si=Zlrej1VXYf-7xhp_

            Just poking fun at how everything and everyone is fascist now apparently, which dilutes the term. That’s been a typical right-wing discursive maneuver, but apparently the left is doing the work for them now.

            Troubling when there is actual fascism on the rise.

              Ahem.

              Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3] Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, egalitarianism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism,[4][5] fascism is placed on the far-right wing within the traditional left–right spectrum.

              Which of these don’t fit the republican party exactly?

                I’m talking about the person saying there should be more policy conversation in this sub being called a fascist for expressing that opinion.

                My point is there is actual fascism in right-wing politics, which you are echoing, but calling someone a fascist for expressing an opinion about the content of a sub on Lemmy stretches the term beyond meaning.

                  So the title of the article posted is: Trump appointed Walz to serve on the Council of Governors in 2019

                  So just so I’m clear; Trump attacks this guys credibility, but also specifically chose him for to serve on a Council. Then this article is posted. Then, someone says it isn’t politics.

                  What are the chances, do you think, that this person genuinely believes that isn’t a worthwhile story, versus, are they pro (Trump) and trying to downplay the significance?

                  You can’t be pro Trump and anti-fascist, so…
