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!

Politicians should face the consequences of their policies, including especially pies to the face at restaurants and toilet paper on their lawns

Think it should be a law that must provide home address. Hell tracking devices on all elected government officials. Then maybe they will start passing laws for the people instead of the corporations if they fear for their lives.

Yes I did, wish it been fucking Lindsey Graham or fucking Mike Johnson. Unfortunately seems only fucking mega heads are doing all the attacks. While the left keeps sending worded letters as if that going do shit.

Getting pretty goddamn close to having to fight fire with fire. Are we going wait until its to late to do something? Are we going still sit on our hands when the right start dragging Democrats and progressive from their offices and hang them. Or maybe we will wait for the camps and the gas chambers. Seriously they already arresting those elected officials who speak out.

This is just the beginning and bet a million dollars Trump loving it. If they catch the guy (cops don't seem to be in hurry to do so) I won't be surprised when Trump pardons him and then adds him to his brown coats.
