its even more frustrating that people believe it.
someone can post a tweet of a politician saying "I fondly remember the death of American students..." would even the dumbest of dumb say this no ofc not its career suicide. but people gobble it and will base their believes of that tweet they saw that was completely false
Kristi noem said she killed a puppy and it had to be done, she is not saying to kill all puppies. She’s bot running on a puppy killing platform even if she’s a puppy killer.
But yeah she sucks big time
"Right-wingers are being censored!" says a right-winger, clearly not censored.
The only "leftist agenda" items that mods push are Rules 1 and 2. It's not their fault that right-wingers have trouble with those two. 🤷
No but you see the angry leftist mob down voted them therefore they've been canceled and censored and had their freedom of speech taken away
ETA: /s if it wasn't clear
The fact which doesnt care about your feelings is that online and in the media, conservative voices are being silenced. I've said this before. I said it on my youtube channel, I said it on Joe Rogan, on the Jordan Peterson Kayak podcast. I said it on Tucker Carlson, twice actually, and I said it in my New York Times best seller.
Its a point I have to make over and over becaaaause conservative voices..are..being.. silenced.

To be fair I only got it after checking the link. Lol I wouldn't have been able to pull out that line without having just watched it but I think I had seen it some time before.
"...conservative voices are being silenced." And then procedes to name 6 different places where he has said this, one of which was a freaking New York Times best seller. If you think that conservatives are being silenced, but there are best sellers and news channels that discuss that very topic, then you're delusional.
I may be a little tone deaf yes, thing is though, that is probably a valid opinion *someone* (even in this thread) would have so I apologize for misunderstanding you
This idea is pervasive and unhealthy, you assumed something untrue and you’re trying to retroactively justify it which only stands to further your pre-existing biases that led to that assumption in the first place. Nothing wrong with being wrong, just say that and move on. This line of thinking will only produce more bullshit.
I was permad on PublicFreakout and my account was given a warning for saying "If you confront a creep in a women's restroom you're a hero, but if the creep is wearing a dress then you're the villain." And everyone in that thread who misgendered the man in the woman's restroom was permad too. Basically you HAVE to let us push our agenda or be censored/banned.
It kind of makes sense that r/Facepalm is a facepalm. Like how the background of r/mildlyinfuriating (at least used to be) an extremely bright orange color because that's mildly infuriating
I was going to be agree but the fact that anything political that gets posted here is just politicians. Doing the dumbest shit imaginable.. Which isn't even political.. It's just stupid.. Personally, doesn't count
Like Congress voting against cancer research.
And how is pointing out it was one political party that chose to do this to screw over the current president bashing a political party when they chose to do this knowing it only prevents cancer research.
Right and they get pissy it's republicans saying and supporting this shit. We're not making these people post their stupidity to their social media accounts.
That's the issue.
The vast vast majority of insane shit said and done by politicians and political parties in America is being done by Republican MAGA assholes.
At some point, it seems like people are piling on when in fact we haven't even begun to scratch the surface of their cruelty and utter insanity.
It's so much worse than just what gets reposted here.
You didn't read enough of the rules, rule number 665 is the important one
Here's some info from the rule book.
"Rule #664: Don't fuck up the count
Rule #665: Don't be whiny
Rule #666: Hail Satan!
Rule #667: For fucks sake don't fuck up the count."
"about politicians being politicians" still applies, since the facepalm posts about them are usually about them being dangerously unqualified to be politicians.
1. Let’s not normalize the idea that the GOP is acting like normal politicians. They aren’t, they are way outside of normalcy.
2. I don’t really see it as attacking, just highlighting
It was forbidden until it became profitable, simple facepalm about random shit is nothing compared to the likes and views a facepalm related to political bullshit brings.
This sub is honestly is it's own facepalm. I got posted once and it was dumb, now I'm not allowed to post and they won't message me back on why, and they allow posters to break their own rules EVERY TIME lol this sub makes liberals look stupid..
Trump is a criminal defendant masquerading as a politician. That goes with his cronies and anyone who pretends that their bigotry is as valid as any other position.
[100% both sides are completely and utterly obsessed with him, they hang on his every slight movement..](https://youtu.be/zqkf2U5jcE0?si=ic9eXwr9LB6Z1g5q)
And all the anti-israel propaganda is just tiring. None of this is the r/facepalm we all love. Please block these political propaganda posts FROM ALL sides. Happy to help if you need another mod.

It's really frustrating how many blatantly made up twitter screenshots get posted.
its even more frustrating that people believe it. someone can post a tweet of a politician saying "I fondly remember the death of American students..." would even the dumbest of dumb say this no ofc not its career suicide. but people gobble it and will base their believes of that tweet they saw that was completely false
I think it's because there's genuinely so many instances of outlandish shit being said
It's not even just that it's said but that the person saying it is sincere in their belief of the batshit crazy they say.
It‘s haed to believe what some of them really post, why shouldn‘t I believe a made up tweet in a similiar tone?
The reason people believe it is because there is a literal person running on a puppy killing platform for VP right now. Seriously.
Kristi noem said she killed a puppy and it had to be done, she is not saying to kill all puppies. She’s bot running on a puppy killing platform even if she’s a puppy killer. But yeah she sucks big time
She’s also been saying that Biden’s dog should be killed.
Yeah, but they aren’t puppies.
Fine, DOG killing platform.
True that
Remember how quiet Reddit was the day after Russian sanctions took effect? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
>It's really frustrating how many twitter screenshots get posted. Fixed it for ya.
It won’t let me respond with a picture but you can look at the rules yourself.
I don't think the mods give a shit anymore.
No misinformation. Sounds like you can't follow the rules?

Yeah, fuck that private enterprise thing. We need to have the government telling a business how to run things.... wait...

Whatever, Bob.
Judging from my downvotes, it looks like you're the only one who caught the reference despite the link
To be fair I only got it after checking the link. Lol I wouldn't have been able to pull out that line without having just watched it but I think I had seen it some time before.
I like how you stated that conservatives are being silenced…numerous times on multiple conservative platforms. Real silencing going on there
That's the point. Its sarcasm and i even put the reference in the post
My bad, poes law.
"...conservative voices are being silenced." And then procedes to name 6 different places where he has said this, one of which was a freaking New York Times best seller. If you think that conservatives are being silenced, but there are best sellers and news channels that discuss that very topic, then you're delusional.
Or maybe you're dumb and didnt even bother to check the link i provided which is the reference for what I said?
I'm genuinely sorry. I thought you were quoting the person and not making fun of them.
Telling people "I disagree with you and I wholeheartedly think you're wrong" is not silencing you dense fuck
Did I need the /s? I thought it was clearly over the top cuz yeah that was what I was saying.
I may be a little tone deaf yes, thing is though, that is probably a valid opinion *someone* (even in this thread) would have so I apologize for misunderstanding you
The world is in a sad state so can't really blame you for reading it as sincere with all the craziness out there

Run an experiment and find out for sure.
Downvotes proved your point lmao
But if you say anything critical about men, it's also an issue.
Weird, I said stuff critical of my fellow men, and the only down side were pro-rapists coming out of the woodwork. No moderators censored either side.
The real facepalm were the Political posts we made along the way
It kind of makes sense that r/Facepalm is a facepalm. Like how the background of r/mildlyinfuriating (at least used to be) an extremely bright orange color because that's mildly infuriating
I was going to be agree but the fact that anything political that gets posted here is just politicians. Doing the dumbest shit imaginable.. Which isn't even political.. It's just stupid.. Personally, doesn't count Like Congress voting against cancer research.

Posts about politicians aren't necessarily political when not in the context of a political environment.
To be fair they aren’t posting about politicians doing political things, just about them being idiots in general
MTG saying "yo let's fund Jewish space lasers to absolutely annihilate immigrants" is beyong "politicans acting like politicans".
What does Magic the Gathering have to do with Jewish space lasers?
Right and they get pissy it's republicans saying and supporting this shit. We're not making these people post their stupidity to their social media accounts.
That's the issue. The vast vast majority of insane shit said and done by politicians and political parties in America is being done by Republican MAGA assholes.

Maybe the facepalm is the sub we made along the way?
And the other 10% are memes
1. Let’s not normalize the idea that the GOP is acting like normal politicians. They aren’t, they are way outside of normalcy. 2. I don’t really see it as attacking, just highlighting
I was actually cconsidering leaving this subreddit, I just wanted to see stupid people saying/doing stupid things, not politics
Well they aren't being politicians, they're being children
There's a difference between attacking a political party and highlighting really dumb and terrible takes that just happen to belong to politicians.
Thats a facepalm within a facepalm which, by Star Trek standards has now created a hole within the time/space continuum.
If I were a betting person, I would think this post gets removed before those other political ones.
It was forbidden until it became profitable, simple facepalm about random shit is nothing compared to the likes and views a facepalm related to political bullshit brings.
Facepalm rules were the facepalm the whole time. Facepalmception.
Half the r/RoastMe posts are just disguised r/RateMe posts
Some Facepalm-ception going on here.
I would like if there was fewer political posts, as I dont really care, I dont live in the US, and can't do shit about it even if I wanted.
What about politicians being comedians, or comedians being politicians?
Mods will enforce it if it's a politician they like that's being mocked.
There’s politicians being politicians, and then there’s politicians being absolute morons who don’t know the first thing about politics or government
Most of these “politicians” are just media whores.
If I wanted political content I’d follow political subs
This sub is honestly is it's own facepalm. I got posted once and it was dumb, now I'm not allowed to post and they won't message me back on why, and they allow posters to break their own rules EVERY TIME lol this sub makes liberals look stupid..
If it's against Republicans, this sub eats it up. If it's against Democrats, not allowed. There's a clear bias in this subreddit.
Trump is a criminal defendant masquerading as a politician. That goes with his cronies and anyone who pretends that their bigotry is as valid as any other position.
If that rule was on any other post wmit would be "no low effort post/ no shit posting"
reminds me of r/AnarchyChess
“ur banned rule 8”
I mean how many things are left with such a long list of don'ts. anyone interested in animals being animals then? Guess that's about what's left.
The real facepalm is the facepalm we facepalmed along the way.
In other words you just can’t make fun of politicians saying stupid things, but you can make fun of everyone else doing it.
TIL
I left Face-palm because of the political bs. Still see it on my feed because I comment from time to time but no longer a member
Hah I used to moderate here then management changed and kicked all the active mods
... and you broke Rule 8...
That’s the fault of the mods for being either lazy or not enforcing the rules. In before the ban axe coming for my neck.
I demand the mods do something
This sub is obsessed with Trump though. For alot of people on Reddit he has become their entire personality.
[100% both sides are completely and utterly obsessed with him, they hang on his every slight movement..](https://youtu.be/zqkf2U5jcE0?si=ic9eXwr9LB6Z1g5q)
Ah the facepalm of the facepalm rules.
The people have spoken. Go with the zeitgeist
Yet I go over to OUTFITS subreddit and comment “hey is that an M65 jacket from Vietnam?” PERMANENTLY…….BANNED!!!!!
No see… you’re not allowed to post about the MOD’s political party. Duh…
Did you know that the whole purpose of this subreddit is dead and that people just post random shit here, without the mods actually caring?
Too bad mods don’t actually know the rules of the sub.
And all the anti-israel propaganda is just tiring. None of this is the r/facepalm we all love. Please block these political propaganda posts FROM ALL sides. Happy to help if you need another mod.
Moderators are slacking HARD on this one
Seriously. 90% of the posts are leftist nonsense and are political.
Yep. I've been reporting shit like crazy but nobody's doing anything about it.
And no more of this "water is wet" nonsense...
Have you seen the world we live in? It's called evolving with the times.
Whatever the fuck that means
You say that like politics is a new thing.
I'd gladly explain that, but if I do so, I'd break rule 1.
