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!

Gotta love how no information regarding the shooter is out. Yet we have dumbasses like this illegal immingrant here, making absolutes about it being a leftist.

I accidentally watched a few Asmongold videos since the TrumpStein thing hit.

He seems to have a huuuuge youtube following.

Today he released a video regarding this incident, all somber and rational for like 10 minutes about how both sides have to cool down their rhetoric etc. And then out of nowhere be goes all in on how dangerous and crazy the people on the left are and how it's all their fault - for the next 7 mins.

Dude, did you forget what you yourself just said in this very same video?!

44000 comments at that point. 95% rightwing madness.

I knew something isn't right with this guy and his followers but that was kinda shocking.

I guess all those school shooters, Trump assassins, hammer wielders, proud boys, SUV hit and runners, protest shooters, insurrectionists, and nazis are easy to forget /s

I'm not surprised. The dude is a fucking tool, and can't comprehend ever being wrong.

World of warcraft streamer who has decided there is more money in streaming talking about politics

Anyone trying to both sides fascism this late in the game is a fascist in denial; that was a pretty obvious tell.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 49 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He tweeted this minutes after it happened. The right always does this, because it works. They seize the narrative early. It's why a lot of people so easily forget the guys who tried to kill Trump were both on the right.

[–] Lukaro@piefed.zip 1 points 3 days ago

One of the few times the right was right!

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 10 points 3 days ago

No suspect, no motive, but there's a bunch of people who really want this to be political.

[–] aramova@infosec.pub 3 points 3 days ago

The shooter is also EATING THE DOGS, THEY'RE EATING THE PETS!

Or some other bullshit.
