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!

You can say what a terrible person he was without celebrating his death.
Just like the Charlie Kirk responses:
"I can’t stand the word empathy actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that — it does a lot of damage, but it is very effective when it comes to politics."
You need to justify why celebrating someone's death should not be allowed.
I'm not advocating for anyone dying, that's a different bowl of nuts. Virtue signalling one's own ethical purity might get you off, but it only annoys everyone else.
That's Jordan for you. And then being smug about it too.
What a pain in the neck that guy was.
His last words were really hard to swallow.
And you can say it's the 25th of December without celebrating Christmas, but the question is, why would I?
Amazing how everytime something big happen JL finds a way to make it all about them.
Wonder what will happen in the thread about Mc turtle finally officially passing
Same thing as here, no celebrating death.
Yes that was clearly what was being referenced here
No celebrating evil people dying, you must speak kindly to diet nazis who didn't say anything good to anyone and were evil.
He was a terrible person and it is fitting to celebrate that he is no longer alive to impose his views through policy. Not celebrating his death, just the act of him no longer living. Him dying, sad for his family. Him not being alive, good for the nation. It's a bad rule, do better.
Define the difference between celebration vrs elation.
I'm not gonna throw a party but I won't rule out a hearty chuckle a jaunty happy dance.
Having made an initial pass of the comments, there were really very few removable. Mostly blatant rule breaking like "Good!" and "I am celebrating!"
The rule states "bannable" but not how long. The minimum I can set is 1 day. I'd probably have gone for something in the hours range, but it is not that granular. 😉
