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!

Because architects who design flawed buildings are blameless?
Now entering NaNa land.
The president is responsinle for the decisions made and the orders given.
So absolutely no one else is ever responsible for anything that the U.S. ever does except whoever is president at the time. That is your assertion.
If it's a military order from the President, no.
So only 45 people have ever been responsible for anything the U.S. military has ever done?
The Commander in Chief
Got it, so based on this, the Nuremberg trials were a great injustice and not a single Nazi official should have been hanged since not a single one of them was responsible for anything in WWII- not the war, not the Holocaust. Just Hitler. Solely responsible.
Nazis in Nuremberg were tried for crimes against humanity not war crimes. Different.
Ah, so Kissinger is guilty of crimes against humanity. Got it.
Could be. The UN is the first place you have to get agreement, the the International Court. Go for it.
Now you're trying to weasel out of the question. I think what this is actually about is you have some weird respect for Kissinger and don't think he did anything wrong when he illegally bombed two countries and killed thousands of innocent people.
NO, I'm just getting tired of you. You're not bright but you make up for it by being persistent.
Kissinger is an asshole and always has been, but in the end his boss, Nixon, called the play.
Insulting me doesn't change the fact that you have spent a long time and a lot of effort trying to show how innocent Kissinger is. Maybe you aren't aware of that?
But insulting you is so much fun. I will celebrate when Kissinger is gone the same way I celebrated Nixon's death.
You think insulting people is fun, do you?
So basically you want Lemmy to be Reddit.
I'll have no part in that. Goodbye.
