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!

This whole affair is a load of shit in every way. Jones doesn't deserve this treatment. The system wants their 100 pounds of flesh for him not being a good boy.
Fuck that. Did the Sandy Hook parents deserve to have their murdered children used as fodder for Jones's conspiracy bullshit?
Not lies. Not conspiracy. Freedom of speech. These people didn't suffer because of him. Jeesh.
He used his platform to claim that murdered children were fake and that the parents were "crisis actors". He so roiled his audience with blatantly false inflammatory bullshit that they began harassing the parents and sending them death threats, all for the crime of having their kindergartens shot to death in America. They absolutely suffered and the blame for their harassment lies entirely with that fucking sociopath (who has since admitted that yes, the massacre was real).
Care to elaborate? Everything I've ever heard about him makes it sound like he's a massive piece of shit. You buy his lies about Sandy Hook? Or think it's fine to make up whatever you want no matter who it hurts, and expect no consequences?
Look at the commenter's profile. It's a waste of time asking, you're only going to get back right-wing talking points or misinformation.

Steel_nomad fucks chickens. I have proof.
Why do you think he doesn't deserve to be punished for slander and libel against victims of a tragedy?
