Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

After the headline-grabbing execution, questionable portions of the internet immediately began thirsting over images of the alleged killer while denouncing the corporate greed showcased by UnitedHealthcare and its peers.

Lol questionable.

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly similarly slammed Mangione’s declaration on X writing, “His ‘lived experience’ is about to be punctuated by 3 squares a day and a fear of showering.”

Fuck you.

…with far-right political activist and former political correspondent for One America News Network Jack Posobiec writing on X: “There’s a reason the left supports murderers who shoot businessmen in the street. 

“It’s a feature not a bug.”

You make it a feature.

After news on Mangione’s arrest came to light on Monday, Fox host Jesse Watters weighed in on the 26-year-old’s potential future in prison, claiming that he’s “not ready” and that he’s “gonna get annihilated.” 

“I don’t think anyone’s ready [to go to prison],” Watters said on The Five. “This guy’s not ready. He’s way too soft. He’s gonna get annihilated on the inside, and good.” 

“If he’s not gonna get the death penalty, maybe someone will do him justice behind bars,” he added. “That’s all I have to say about that.”

You get a fuck you too.

“His ‘lived experience’ is about to be punctuated by 3 squares a day and a fear of showering.

It's interesting how many still casually "joke" about prison rape in this country. At least when it comes to male rape.

If he’s not gonna get the death penalty, maybe someone will do him justice behind bars

This kind of pairs with the rape stuff. There are an awful lot of very gross people that wish for rape AND murder to happen in prison. The idea of our system supposedly being about corrections is a complete farce as long as so many people like that are among us....

Remember the cardinal rule of the right!

rape good, murder bad!

[–] CharlesDarwin 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

rape good, murder bad!

Well, unless someone they don't like is murdered in prison, because that's just justice...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

Well yes imprisoned people lose their rights (to live, most of all!) and humanity, and don't count!

That's why we forgive people like Republican leaders and campaign leaders for their crimes because they're MORE human than us!

[–] Hobbes_Dent 61 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Of course.

Unless one is murdering an unhoused man of colour causing a disturbance. Of course.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Murdering miscarrying women by refusing them medical treatment is definitely a-okay. Supply-side Jesus loves that kind of murder.

"Well the only thing he did wrong was not rape the man while he was passed out before squeezing the last bit of life out of him"

[–] taiyang 24 points 1 day ago

Jesus, I didn't plan on reading and just these quotes alone get me. Fuck those people so hard.

The left supports killing businessman in the streets.

The right supports killing babies in their cots.

and kids in their classrooms.

If the public reaction to his gets one potential school shooter to rethink their plans and instead shoot a single CEO, that's a net gain. Bonus points if they start talking about gun control and Democrats reply with "it's too soon to talk about that, thoughts and prayers. Maybe install litter boxes in board rooms?"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

Maybe install litter boxes in board rooms?

"CROOKED LEFT FORCING CEOS TO BEND KNEE TO CATBOIS"

Sorry for making y'all horny at the prospect

They are reflecting on the level of damage they've caused to society and it's clearly terrifying to them that using liberals as the scapegoat isn't always gonna cut it.
