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!

Yeah but Jim Caviezal is nuttier than squirrel turds. Why do we care what he says?

Being aware what the radicalized right is saying is important.

It's basically the same thing you would expect a crazy homeless guy to be screaming on a street corner. "The Jews have space lasers!" "Drag queens are coming for your children!" "Repent! Repent! Repent!"

It's all the same thing over and over again. My honest opinion is stop giving these psychos the time of day. Sure it won't fix the problem today, but nothing will. However we should not give them the time of day and treat them like they're off their rocker because they are. We should stop giving them a platform to say their crazy thoughts

Holy shit, does he pay people to say this stuff, because the alternative is a level of brain washing Scientology would be proud of.

Caviezel is a true believer, Qanon all the way. He's spoken at conventions and stuff.

This is the garbage that conservatives are being told and forced to believe or they will be shunned by their fellow conservative. You are required to believe it all or you are out.

The only red ‘C’ he is parting, is some ginger stripper’s.

Dammit Jim! Don't make me start disliking Person of Interest...

[–] MiddleWeigh 5 points 1 year ago

Yea that show is pretty good considering, and I kinda liked Jim in that, so this has been disappointing lol.

I have about lost all hope for humanity tbh. Thanks Jim.

To be fair, he was a robotic psycho killer in that show. He just happened to be on the right side.

Can we skip to the part where he and his followers wander in the desert for 40 years.
