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!

It's especially true for the conservatives, who love and crave authoritarianism.
It's why Ronnie Raygun had that 11th commandment.
Well, not all Republicans, I guess:
Without evidence, Trump has suggested Omar staged the spraying incident. The Minnesota Democrat has become a frequent target of the president.
“I don’t think about her. I think she’s a fraud,” Trump told ABC News. “She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her.”
What a fucking douchebag.
Well, at least we now have proof that "attempted assassination" was staged by him. They cannot help but project, can they?
The headline is very misleading. It should have read "Three Republicans mildly condemn the attack, while the President lies about it and stokes further stochastic terrorism."
Spineless shitstains like him can't understand courage when they see it so have to invent other explanations.
He thinks about her more than he thinks about his wife or kids (i mean HIS kids, he probably thinks about kids in general all the fucking time).
He probably had himself shot at, knowing him.
If real, 2 cm to the right... why in the absolute fuck couldn't it have just been 2 god damn cm?
In November they will all say it was a peaceful protest and call for a pardon like J6.
