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!

These men have succeeded for centuries (possibly millennia) by preemptively creating the reality they want people to perceive through action, and then just pretending the reality they created is the truth. By acting their preemptive reality, (essentially being the change they wish to see in a really fucked up kind of way, and creating the fucked up world they want to live in), they have created their own success and the history leading up to this point, leaving us to study the pieces of fiction they used to destroy. I think this may be one of the rare cases where we could stand to take a page from their book (except the reality we create will remain fact based).
It really doesn't matter that these men want us to believe they have special snowflake status that places them above the law, in addition to not caring that we know they're also terrorists and war criminals.
They committed cold blooded murder of innocent civilians. The families of these civilians are already suing on behalf of their deceased loved ones. There are witnesses who will testify that the secretary of war demanded a second strike be sent to kill every innocent civilian still clinging to pieces of their destroyed boat in order to leave no survivors. There are survivors from follow up attacks who weren't even arrested, because they had never committed any crime in the first place.
These men are a threat to civilization, and we cannot allow them to destroy what we have worked so hard to build. The citizens of the United States and the citizens of the world demand justice, for our individual self preservation and the preservation of all civil society. We demand these men are held accountable for their crimes against humanity.
