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!

MODERATORS
She testified that death threats against her increased after an editorial with an error said her PAC had contributed to political rhetoric that enabled an atmosphere of violence.The jury deliberated a little over two hours before reaching its verdict. A judge and a different jury had reached the same conclusion about Palin’s defamation claims in 2022
Sounds like a pretty open-and-shut case, if it only took a couple hours to decide.
Her lawsuit stemmed from an editorial about gun control published after U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise [...] was wounded in 2017 when a man [...] opened fire on a Congressional baseball team practice. [...] In the editorial, the Times wrote that before the 2011 mass shooting in Arizona [...] Palin’s political action committee had contributed to an atmosphere of violence by circulating a map of electoral districts that put Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized crosshairs.
Yeah, I remember those ads. They claimed they weren't rifle sighting cross hairs but some other thing instead. That denial had about as much plausibility as all the other Republican denials.
The Times corrected the article less than 14 hours after it was published, saying it had “incorrectly stated that a link existed between political rhetoric and the 2011 shooting” and that it had “incorrectly described” the map.
A) that sounds like a pretty quick retraction, and B) that sounds like they stated there was a proven link when there wasn't. However the Republicans and their enablers have been pumping up stochastic terrorism for decades, so while there may not have been a proven link between their rhetoric and that specific incident, it falls very directly under the definition of stochastic terrorism.
Palin testified Monday that death threats against her increased and her spirits fell after the editorial was published.
Good.
My god, is she sick? She looks sunken in.
That's what it looks like when someone with certain types of plastic surgery ages.
One would hope
Probably all the procedures catching up to her.
I can't tell if she's pickling or melting. Either way, looks like she smells like horrible perfume covering up the stench.
Stupid cunt. McCain is partially responsible for this trump bullshit.
