politics
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!

and i had to earn my freedom the hard way while others get a free pass just because i posted about it on facebook and got arrested the day after but other people who didnt do their time yet get to just walk free well i say thats not fair
I'll keep this civil. NO. ONE. CARES. You deserve ALL the consequences that came from your involvement. You should be happy that you didn't get the Rosenburg treatment even though every Jan. 6 Terrorist deserved it.
I'll leave this here:

sounds like something a foreign spy would say
Well trying to overthrow a government surely looks like an effort by foreign actors. Please, do not let your suffering in prison be in vain. The attempted coup was just that: a coup. And nobody should be entitled to just storm Capitol Hill to install somebody who couldn't admit to himself he lost.
that was a reference to their username
Oh LOL my bad sorry
youre really nice you should know i was just being silly i didnt really participate in the coup attempt
Thank you for making it easy for LE to snatch your ass up. I hope you experienced the absolute worst of the justice system, even though I know you were treated with kid gloves.
Not only should you NEVER be compensated for anything, you should be paying restitution and feel shame for the rest of your life.
How fucking dare you say anything "isn't fair" after what you've done. I feel shame for having served my country knowing it was for people like you.
i BARELY got snacks between meals it was AWFUL so dont you tell me what i deserve or assume what ive been through because no one should have to experience what i did except adulterers probably and maybe other badguys
That's not fair but you should look the other way round. You did your time and learned the lesson. Others were pardoned by a fellow felon.
Fight not to be on their level (be compensated) but fight for them to be at your level (doing the time and learning the lesson) by voting and making your voice being heard.
Only this way we can have a more just world.
we should abolish prisons to avoid this injustice altogether but only after everyone else serves the same time i did to make it fair
