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!

Stochastic terrorism is pretty much table stakes for the Right now.

[–] King_Skeletor 9 points 1 year ago

Whatever's on the table plays, if it keeps getting results they like they will keep doing it, unfortunately.

Oh man I always thought the saying was table steaks and it was like the kind of steak you’d eat normally and nothing special. I’m pretty dumb.

[–] grabyourmotherskeys 1 points 1 year ago

Lol, until you see it written out... We've all been there.

[–] kescusay 51 points 1 year ago

Well, that's not surprising. Disgusting and revolting, but not surprising.

[–] Rhoeri 36 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Does everyone else remember when the right said the left would become unhinged if they lost in 2020? I believe even the talking heads on Fox News we’re saying some shit about how the left would lose their minds if trump won.

Additionally, does anyone else remember the right ever losing anything with dignity?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

That was just their typical projection, and lo and behold, they did actually lose their minds when they lost. Some of them tried to overthrow the government too. Meanwhile nothing of the sort happened in 2016 when they elected a con man President, despite them saying it would.

[–] MercuryUprising 15 points 1 year ago

The right doesn't lose. The left just always cheats and uses conspiratorial moves to win, usually because of some specific money man like Soros. This comment is brought to you by real world arguments I've had with nationalists.

Can he just go to jail already

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I'd love him to lose phone privileges

[–] highestincharge 22 points 1 year ago

the day he goes to jail should be declared an international holiday

[–] Col3814444 18 points 1 year ago

Unbelievable, the man is such a sub human. Literally nothing he won’t stoop to.

[–] Zerfallen 18 points 1 year ago

America will put any(every)one in jail except this one guy.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

One of his blatant crimes need to catch up to him because this bitch needs locked up and the key thrown away. He wants all this respect but pulls childish stunts like this all the time. What a piece of shit.

[–] rustyfish 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone needs to hack his account and post: "The only THING that will SAVE you from getting snatched by the leftist antifa deep state CLINTONISTS sleepy witchhunter Bidens is a big wooden log. You have to shove it up your ass. THE BIGGER THE BETTER!"

I guarantee you, the emergency department will be filled with his cultists.

[–] kmkz_ninja 8 points 1 year ago

It could be "wooden leg", and his followers would have "Stumps for Trumps" bumper stickers before he could even send out a redaction.

Taylor Taranto, 37, who prosecutors say participated in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, kept two firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition inside a van he had driven cross-country and had been living in, according to a Justice Department motion that seeks to keep him behind bars

Who would of thought that such an upstanding member of society would do such a thing?

Pretty much 99% of the people who were at the Capitol that day shouldn’t still be walking around in broad daylight.

Nobody wants to be the “bad guy” who just tosses the lot into jail. They want to still present this “even handed” approach. But truth is, every fucker that got off with a slap on the wrist, they’re absolutely going to go for round two. And they’re going to keep going round after round until they’ve killed every last person they disagree with or the justice system locks them away as the traitors to the United States they are.

If this story didn’t convince anyone of that, nothing will.

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

Hello? Bad guy here.

I would toss ever motherfucker who stepped past the threshold of the capital building into jail.

They're either astoundingly dumb or basically a terrorist, either way I'm fine sending them somewhere that locks.

[–] Briguy24 8 points 1 year ago

wtf arrest his ass. No more electronic devices for the old fool.
