For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Countdown to: "It was ANTIFA!" "IT WAS THE FBI!" "IT WAS A LIBERAL PRETENDING TO BE MAGA!"

I'm so tired of these maga cowards with anger disorders who think they can just do whatever they want then blame everyone else for their insanity.

How to go from a normal day to the day you became a felon in 2 seconds.

Just trying to become more like his patron saint

And another piece of empirical evidence for permanent absentee ballot voting.

Revoke his right to vote, effective immediately.

You don’t have to do that. Just charge him with a felony. Texas I’m sure has laws disenfranchising felons, and if they don’t then they’re losing to Florida.

Maybe Jesse Lutzenberger of San Antonio Texas could get fucked.

I somehow think that he got away lightly. I am not being punitive but I can’t imagine it going this well for someone else. At least give him 24 hours in county jail.

He hasn’t been found guilty yet, they just booked him. He’s facing felony charges although who knows how that will all play out.

Sounds like the guy has a few bruises but is otherwise ok. Things are bad when I'm wondering if police will be hanging around voting areas this election to try to prevent this sort of thing. Are they even allowed?

Police aren't exactly the calming influence they ^^never used to be.

Perhaps some biker gangs or wild hippos instead?

Enforcing laws against terrorism would probably stop most of it.

Just in case anybody feels like giving that a go.
