Try it at the Tomb of the Unknown. I would pay good money to see that video.

BlameThePeacock , in ‘Enough is enough’: the Muslim American officials who resigned over US’s Israel-Gaza policy

Ah great, let’s just turn this into more of a religious war than it actually is by pushing a religion narrative.

Muslim is not a religion.

HomerianSymphony ,

Muslim is not a religion.

… what do you think “Muslim” means?

girlfreddy OP ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

I was being pedantic. Muslim is a follower of Islam.

Keeponstalin ,

You automatically assume that because they are Muslim they must be against the genocide on the basis of religion? They are anti-genocide on the basis of Human Rights

BlameThePeacock ,

No, I automatically assume then when they say “Muslim American” in the headline, the media is trying to bring up their religion as relevant to the situation. Otherwise the would just say “The American officials who resigned” instead.

Keeponstalin ,

Well, they are Muslim and so are many of their constituents that they represent. It is relevant. But their solidarity with Palestinian people are on the basis of humanity, not on a religious basis.

Arabs, Muslims, and especially Palestinians have been dehumanized by many Americans since the US’ War on Terror. So I think the distinction of ‘Muslim American’ is important. Not on the basis of religion but on lived experience both abroad and in America.

In her role at the interior department, Hassanein joined other staffers in signing letters, attending rallies and vigils, but soon recognized that her voice wasn’t being heard, she said. “What I realized is that I don’t want to just be a Muslim in a public service position for the sake of being a Muslim in a public service position,” she added. “I want my perspective and my background and the fact that I’m a representation for Muslim communities in the country to truly be considered.” She also disapproved of the Democratic national convention’s denial of a speaking slot for the Georgia state representative Ruwa Romman.

DaddleDew , in Trump staffers reported over altercation at Arlington cemetery during photo op

They knew exactly what they were doing. They’ll keep escalating until Trump becomes the center of media attention again.

homesweethomeMrL ,

Hey y’know how he can dominate the news cycle for a good solid week? Seems like he did that not that long ago . . .

mundane , in Donald Trump lays blame for assassination attempt on Biden and Harris

Wasn’t the shooter republican and/or conservative?

Tramort ,

Let’s not get bogged down in facts

/s

some_guy ,

Why do that when we have alternative facts?

Gawd, that was 10 lifetimes ago, wasn’t it?

:p

Delusional ,

The republican motto

yeather ,

Kinda sorta, he changed and registered republican before the shooting, but was a dem before and donated to act blue.

frog_brawler ,

Trump donated to Kamala years ago, so I guess Trump is a democrat too.

_stranger_ ,

Best I can do is RINO. Last election I could’ve done “democRAT false flag operation”, but these kinds of mental gymnastics are a dime a dozen now

He is nothing save whatever serves him in the moment.

Furbag ,

The donor had the same name as the shooter, but was not the same person.

KillingTimeItself ,

was this actually confirmed? I thought this was just fake news. Regardless i think it was like 15 dollars but i might be misremembering lol, it’s been a little while.

KillingTimeItself ,

historically seemed to be conservative, donated a few bucks to a dem thing, didn’t have an online presence. It’s safe to say he was more extreme than right wing, and more right wing than far right or “right wing extremist”

MataVatnik ,
@MataVatnik@lemmy.world avatar

I heard that those donations actually came from an older dude with the same name, has that been disproven?

sucoiri ,

Yes, the donor’s information was from Bethel Park instead of Pittsburgh https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-shooter-donation/

MataVatnik ,
@MataVatnik@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you. That’s interesting, I rarely hear about teenagers donating to a political cause

KillingTimeItself ,

yeah idk, i saw that later on, couldn’t tell you but i remember hearing about it being postulated, i just couldnt remember whether or not that was true or not lol. Accidental misinfo moment.

Even then it’s fairly minor.

Corngood , in Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington National Cemetery

Chris LaCivita, a top Trump campaign adviser, added in a separate statement that the cemetery official was “a disgrace and does not deserve to represent the hollowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.”

How could they resist putting a [sic] in there?

Protoknuckles , in Donald Trump lays blame for assassination attempt on Biden and Harris

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that this took so long.

some_guy , in Police in Washington city banned from personalizing equipment in settlement over shooting Black man

Officers had displayed Blue Lives Matter emblems and a sticker reminiscent of the yellow Gadsden flag, with its rattlesnake and “Don’t Tread on Me” message on items at the time Green was shot.

Anyone who has this flag displayed is automatically sorted into the pile labeled, “sovcit, militia, crazy-fucking-gop.”

ouRKaoS ,

I have a patch of the 4Chan “no step on snek” version because I thought it was hilarious. No idea what the cops would think if they saw it

bitjunkie , in Trump Rages About ‘Deranged Jack Smith’ Filing New Jan. 6 Indictment: ‘Merely an Attempt to INTERFERE WITH THE ELECTION’

So still zero sense of irony with these motherfuckers? Got it

Lobreeze ,

Hypocrisy is the word you are looking for.

Nothing about this is ironic.

tiefling , in Suburban New York police make first arrest under new law banning face masks

For the out of towners, Nassau is one half of Long Island and deeply red. It’s the same borough that willingly elected George fucking Santos. Their police department seemingly doesn’t think NYPD is racist enough. The moment you leave the boroughs, you enter Trump land.

Suffolk is just as red if not redder

some_guy , in Residents in Boston suburb raised $20K after town officials shut down boy’s ice cream stand

“Somebody complained. That was the most disappointing part for us was that somebody thought it necessary to complain about a child’s stand,” she said. “It seemed a little, you know, crazy if you ask me.”

Petty would be the word I use.

Rather than give up, Danny decided to give away the ice cream and accept donations for the Boston Bear Cubs, a team featuring players with physical and developmental disabilities — including his brother, who is autistic.

Shit got real here.

Town officials, meanwhile, said they received hate mail and death threats over the dispute, which they suggested has been badly mischaracterized in the media.

This is beginning to sound more and more like small town GOP shitheads.

“I’m not upset with the town for responding to a complaint,” she said. “I’m shocked someone complained. This was a tiny operation. Us serving 20 friends, family and neighbors isn’t a public health action. That is someone complaining to be a complainer.”

Karen lives next door.
