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!

We know for sure this guy is a MAGA. Anyone that does this type of crap is always a right winged weirdo. So, what? A pardon next week?

The man charged with planting two pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican party headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol told the FBI he believed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, according to two people familiar with the matter.

So... Not an anarchist like the cops initially reported, but rather a stupid and violent right-wing "lone wolf." What prize do I win for correctly predicting this? I must be able to see the future to know that the cops were bullshitting, huh?

So this guy is....not "antifa", not BLM, and not even ACORN?

Black MAGAs. Wtf lol. I bet money the Reich wing ghouls are focus on him being black and not on him being MAGA.

Oh, LOOK AT THAT. Yet another Trump lover that's violent and into Terrorism.

Violence can be used for good. The J6ers are complete morons, but if they truly did believe the election was rigged and their votes don't matter...

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Every accusation (Trump's insanity to whip up the crowd) is a confession (They'll do it again after the next one).

If they truly believed their bullshit and weren't dumbasses they would realize Jan6 played right into the hands of the ruling class. An armed insurrection is absolutely guranteed to stoke authoritarian centrism in a populace, preclude the possibility of actual reform and give permission for crackdowns on civil liberties and freedoms to evil people.

A minority of people violently threatening a seat of government can never represent the interests of democracy, all that can happen is one illegitimate form of power displaces another.

possibility of actual reform

🤣 genuinely just as ignorant and foolish as J6ers

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 3 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

So it was a Trumper, but several weeks ago right wing media tried to get out ahead of this story and blame it on none other than a female capitol police officer. These fucks are shameless.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Wait, is NBC still allowed to call Donvict's nonsense about the 2020 election "conspiracy theories"?

I'm not sure the "liberal media" has gotten the message from the White House yet, and they probably need to be made to bend the knee more...

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I guess anyone dumb enough to try and plant a pipe bomb like this would be dumb enough to yap their yaps when the FBI pick them up five years later.

[–] illegible@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 23 hours ago

I wonder who was more insulted to be compared to one another, him or MTG?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Next week? I'd be surprised if he didn't get pardoned today and given some upper level DHS position. Head of the newly created "Murder Democrats Division."

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Didn't Trump already pardon all of the Jan 6 ~~insurrectionists~~ peaceful protestors?
