Whatever happened to the idea of not publishing the names of mass shooters, as a way of denying them the fame/ attention that they want? Seems like that was a good idea. Did I miss something?

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!

Drama sells better. It's just that simple. Plus, someone else is probably gonna publish the name(s), so try to get that info out first to beat other outlets.
Of course, it's not like they are scrambling to actually try and stop the shootings...
The Harris campaign knows how to clapback real hard, that's for sure. The Trump campaign's words, even with all the relevant context included, speak for themselves.
Sounds like it’s time for somebody to make /c/TrumpVsTrump ?
/c/TrumpTrumpsTrump :p
George Bush the first called Dan "potatoe" Quayle the Jose Canseco of politics.
JD is making him look like it in comparison.
I am trying to find this, because I’d love to see the context, but I can’t seem to get it. Weirdly, I could have been certain I clicked on a story talking about it, but I went back because of an uncloseable cookie banner and duck duck go changed the results.
JD Vance had a terrible response for sure.
JD Vance has offered to change Trump’s diapers as penance for his transgressions.
well, i suppose that's a decent thing to do.
i mean, it saves somebody I probably don't hate from having to change his diapers. like the generic staffers around him.
