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!

That's exactly why they're sending guard from other states
Holy shit... This was Putin's suggestion wasn't it? Get Texans to shoot people in Chicago to kickstart the 2nd civil war...
Yikes. That's kinda what I've been fearing this would really turn into: a chance to "legally" weaponize the chuds against their perceived enemies after years and years of propaganda. I can't imagine the seething hatred they've managed to stoke in some of their most ardent supporters, and now they're just finding ways to put guns in their hands and ship em off to 'clean up the city/country/whatever the fuck' or some such self-aggrandizing bullshit
I don't know, I don't think we should be taking credit away from Stephen Miller and Russ Vought
Kind of like Tiananmen Square.
Dang it, a lot of our military is illiterate peasant farmers already...
The East India company did this exact thing. Most of their troops were local seppoys. When the local ones didn't want to harm their brothers and sisters, send in troops from further away + different tribes + different castes etc and they have no issues. See also: British army in northern Ireland, British army in Kenya, Chinese army in Tianamin Square, Soviet army in Hungary and plenty of other examples
