Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Because he is a high profile politician making Trump look like an ass?? You'd be seeing a lot of Tulsi Gabbard if she started mocking Trump, too. Doesn't mean everyone is a fan
Oh wow, that's almost as important as raising awareness that fucking cancer exists...
He's not actually doing anything, it's a grift like Susan Kommen.
If all you care about is insults and slap fighting, I guess it makes sense to feel like Newsom is somehow accomplishing something other than campaigning for president right now.
If you actually want to fix America, you'd also be pissed billionaire owned media is giving Newsom all the oxygen
Do you think you're the only person in the world capable of holding two non-conflicting opinions or something?
I don't love Newsom and it's obvious he's trying to garner support but...it's still funny? And it's getting air time on the right, shining a light on how ridiculous the tactic is.
There's soooo much to dunk on Newsom for but this ain't it
It's not ...
He's just acting like trump
Like, it's only been a few months since he was bringing Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk onto his own podcast, and agreeing with them.
He was acting like trump then.
He is acting like trump now.
It's not a joke, it's not ironic.
It's who he is.
I believe that you don't think it's funny. I don't believe you don't recognize it's a joke.
Was this a joke too?

What about this?
It's all a joke bro....
THE JOKE (VERY GENIUS) IS THE TWEET ABOUT TRUMP "LIKE THIS" AND IT'S EXTRA FUNNY THAT THE RIGHT WING MEDIA (MORONS) ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW STUPID AND "CHILDISH" IT IS TO COMMUNICATE THIS WAY
None of is relevant when we're just laughing at the tweet. If Hegseth punched Trump in the face, would you not laugh?
I applaud your effort at carrying the conversation through despite the other person refusing to acknowledge that Trump satire aimed at Trump (and making the right upset) is funny as hell. It is. You're doing great.
I've seen them around for a long time and while I don't always agree with them, I don't believe them to be a troll.
It's fine if they don't think the satire is funny but they should at least acknowledge that it's an obvious joke. And that we're not suddenly backing Newsom for president because he did a funny
Heaven forbid we have some fun
You want to support a guy who was agreeing with Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk a few months ago....
Because it's "fun"...

Newsom tried to pivot to MAGA, failed, and is now trying to act like he's fighting them, by acting like trump on social media.
I get why people who unironically support Lenin would fall for this, just not everyone else.
No, I want to grab the popcorn and enjoy a couple of shitstains fighting. It's not complicated.
Who here supports Lenin and how is that relevant?
I'd assume the Maxists-Leninists did...
But that might be asking for too much logical consistency
Well good for them then? Idk how that's relevant at all like wtf are you going on about.
....
What do you think the ".ml" in your username means?
I'm sensing a pattern.
If you're gonna unconditionally assume every ML user is some kind of Marxist without even asking instead of, ya know, just wanting to be on the main and one of the largest instances, then it sounds like you're better off just blocking all of ml. It'd be better for your mental health.
