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.

- 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

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!

"That's the life you voted for". FIFY.
Alright, crush his testicles, rip off his arms, put out his eyes.
'That's life.'
No really, we need to bring back drawing and quartering.
Please just make sure you film it and post it online. We need a database of videos of what happens to tyrants when they try this shit so the next guy has a vivid illustration of what will happen to them if they try this again.
Unfortunately I am crippled, but if anyone does want to do this, please for the love of god scrub your exif data, use a burner everything in every step of that process.
Funny how it wasn't "just life" when prices went up under Biden.
It's just a tribal thing for a lot of people. They'd die personally if it means the out-group suffers more.
We need people to just start playing clips of these congress-critters railing against increasing prices but don’t put dates on it. Just let the public think they’re hating on the current situation.
Here’s Jim Jordan saying the country is headed in the wrong direction after 18 months of Trumps presidency.
You've basically described late night talk shows.
I think he said something similar when those OSU athletes were begging him for help and support from the sexual abuses they suffered.
Oh was it "that's life" in 2022 as well? No, they were calling for heads on spikes.
And it will change NOTHING. These MAGAts are gonna go the the polls in November and smash that (R) button to own the libs.
At this rate of fuckary I’ll be stunned if the Dems even manage to take the house.
And even if they do, it'll only be a matter of time before the cunts try it again because the Dems will just sit on their hands on it and profit a bit longer. They won't dole out any practical or meaningful justice.
“Know your place, trash!”
You mean Right trash!
