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!

[A]lso after Charlie Kirk’s death, the Heritage Foundation twisted data to claim that “50% of all major (non-gang-related) school shootings since 2015 have involved or likely involved transgender ideology.” That was in an effort to get the FBI to create a new domestic terror threat category for “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Extremism.”

How much longer until they decide to just round up the transgender people with the ~~Gestapo~~ ICE? It's getting scary for transgender people.

How bout you focus on getting those Epstein files out you soulless brown nosed bootlick. She better spend the rest of her miserable existence in prison when this nightmare comes to an end

When she speaks, she sounds like she doesn't even believe her own bullshit. Or anything at all, for that matter. She gives off no emotions at all. I'm not entirely convinced she's even human. Just a zombie in human skin. AI behaves more realistically than her.

When WHEN!? I'm convinced that even if this somehow miraculously ends in the near future, the country still won't prosecute anyone

Well then wake me up when the guillotines come out

Personally I'd rather see her choke to death via being hanged. Would be a rather fitting end for one of these wannabe klansmen, also it's how the Nazis were executed though they were given the mercy of having their necks snapped. I do not believe in mercy for pissants like these.

Funny thing about the Nazis who were hung... A lot of them were hung by a guy named John C Woods who was a drunk and a terrible hangman, so a lot of them didn't actually get much mercy because they were hung improperly.

Behind the Bastards covered him and I recommend a listen. If I remember right it's speculated the leadership knew he was a shitty hangman and actually were okay with him fucking it up.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

Pour one out for John C Woods, don't know if he was shitty in general but making Nazis suffer is always acceptable. Will probably listen to the behind the bastards video later I guess.

"There were claims that Woods botched the executions since almost all the Nazis died by strangulation, not by neck fractures. In addition, Woods further miscalculated and many of the men’s heads struck the platform as they fell through the trap door opening."

I want so many of them to spend their lives in prison but given how milquetoast the opposition tends to be, I assume they'll let them skate with some kind of bothsiderist slogan and a sentiment to "look forward".
