Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Damn. So despicable, enforcing the laws of the land and deporting illegal immigrants! How do they sleep at night? /s
Hi, friend. Lemmy is diverse, so I understand if English isn't your first language. The adjective, "despicable," in the title is affecting the word, "video," not the word, "deported."
While deportations are obviously not inherently immoral, this article is drawing attention to how the White House posted a video, which depicts our fellow human beings who are likely being separated from their families, as an attempt to amuse their base with what they think is humorous. I'm sure we can both agree this is despicable.
People literally voted for this, I don't think they find it amusing. If anything, they expected it.
The chatter I hear around the office would disagree. People got what they voted for, are elated, and laughing.
Sticking people in a concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay is not deporting them.
Yeah but if they didn't post it with the word 'despicable' , how would they know to react to the emotional blackmail?
You shit heads are always just looking for permission to enjoy and inflict suffering.
But whenever you violate a rule / law / social etiquette and are facing the consequences it's all crying and tears and hysteria for poor ol you.
You are all little boys too emotionally and intellectually stunted to ever be men.
Follow the law of the land ten and pack your things motherfucker.
