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!

Who's doing the political violence and needs to tone down the rhetoric again?
Calling for violence normally lends you in the pokey. But I'm willing to bet this fascist talking head won't spend a minute in jail.
Perhaps someone could help him become the very change he wishes to see.
My buddy gets charged with terroristic threats for saying he's gonna kicks someone's ass outside a bar.
This guy asks his readers to become violent, knowing there are people willing to do so, and crickets.
The new "free speech" - the right can scream fire in a crowded theater, and that's just "free speech". We cannot have cAnCel cUlTuRe and sPeEcH cOdEs when it comes to the right wing! Any restraint on conservatives, well, that's just pOliTiCaL cOrReCtNeSs.
But if someone anywhere to the left of Goebbels were to quote the likes of Charlie and what this National Hero actually has said, well, then they are subject to getting doxed and fired and getting death threats, etc.
Whats funny is while protesting I find about 10% of the folks react and of that 1% react engatively. Im guessing of the non reactors the ratio is about the same. So like they really should not want violence in the streets.
