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.

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.

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.

Cowards, along with their voters who allow this feckless posturing.
Korean lawmakers were climbing fences and grabbing guns out of the hands of law enforcement in response to something not even half as serious.

Show up armed or with an armed security force, you goddamn clowns. This isn’t 2004 GWB shit. You’re standing up to Nazis, or you aren’t.
The SK soldiers' hearts were not in it. They were given orders, but nobody was actually going to do anything to stop the Parliament from getting in, and everyone knew it.
MAGA thugs are absolutely willing to use violence against Democrat lawmakers. They already have.
Given your post history, I already know what your reply will be, but post it anyway.
They say that, but MAGAs are cowards at their core. Let's see if they will actually fire on elected officials who are simply doing their jobs. I doubt they will.
A dude in my state executed his neighbor because he thought his neighbor might vote for a Democrat. It wasn't some aggravated argument, the neighbor was just out mowing his grass.
I absolutely believe the thugs who are going around kidnapping people would have no qualms with smashing a boot into a democrats face or straight up mag-dumping the second the person tries to force their way inside.
Time to mag-dump right back then, bring the NFAC with banana mags and full auto rifles.
I mean, to that equivalence, all bigots are cowards at their cores.
Then grab the guns and see if they fire. If they do, then civil war it is. Let these MAGA fucks fire the first shot and then the last will be fired when they're lined up against the wall.
You can be the first one to grab and see what happens
If I was a US citizen, fucking gladly!
I'll happily die for being the first one with the FUCKING BOLLOCKS to do something and go down in history. What about you? Do you have the stones or are you happy to wither away under a fascist banner to be forgotten?
Home of the brave? Nah land of the scared cowards, what a failed colony!
Still, they did it unarmed. Your country has more guns than people. Those thugs just kidnap and take anyone they want. At least use your guns for self defence.
This photo is so fucking badass. Representative straight up throwing herself into the line of fire.
That's some pretty big talk
Fascism is pretty big shit.
You're talking about "feckless posturing" when all they wanted to do was go look, or get denied the opportunity to look.
You want them to go have a fight?
I didn't say any of that.
which, the "feckless posturing" or going armed?
Both.
Oh, sorry. Failure to read username again. My bad.
