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!

"Sex-Trafficking Champion" in title is very unclear and implies the opposite of possible intent. (He claims to fight sex-trafficing, not to be really good at sex-trafficing.)
Sorry, we aren't supposed to change headlines. Honestly, the important thing here is that this guy was a conservative icon and his movie was touted as being "suppressed" by the "woke."
I did not mean to diss you. My insult was fully intended for the original editor that titled the story. Sorry for not being clear.
Thank you for following the posting rules, and for spreading this news.
No worries.
But the headline in the article is “ ‘Sound of Freedom’ Hero Resigned From Own Organization Over Shocking Sexual Misconduct Allegations: Report” so you changed it?
No. I clicked the automatic headline thingy when I submitted the article and that's what came up.
Oh ok. I haven’t submitted an article on Lemmy yet, so I wasn’t aware of how that works.
Who the hell thinks that's what Champion means? Figure-skating Champion, Hot Dog Eating Champion, Heavyweight Champion. This another AI article?
Champion of the people is also an accepted use of the word. As in, championing a cause.
Its just used that way to make it less wordy. Like when people say "Raising money for cancer" instead of "raising money for cancer research". I always find it mildly humorous but the intent is obvious.
Champion can technically also refer to a notable advocate for something, like a "champion of human rights," or even as a verb in the same way, "we champion diversity here at Tech Corp Z" etc.
It definitely feels like an AI article. Humans don't write things like " he became a known quantity" in this context..
If you defeat the world's greatest sex trafficker you inherit the championship. I don't make the rules.
