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!

Remember this cowards name when he is up for reelection. And all other pos’s who are ok with posting and spreading hate and misinformation.
It’s uncanny how spineless conservatives are.
Fuck Mike Lee.
I was in a crowd of ten thousand people screaming "FUCK MIKE LEE" and god damn did it feel good and god damn do I want that to happen again where he can hear it.
This is what happens When Marxists don't get their way
Nightmare on Waltz street
Luckily for him, deleting those posts also means that it deletes our memories of those posts, and it's like he never posted that at all. Right?
Well, it does in MAGAland, unfortunately.
That’s why Donald loves the poorly uneducated.
Senator Mike Lee has forgotten that the internet doesn't forget.
Is this the Streisand picture? I know the Streisand effect, but forgot what it was actually about
Stupid conservatives do, when it's convenient
Dumb Motherfucker.
Faced criticism, not consequences, huh? We're not even handing out slaps on the wrist for this bullshit anymore?
It's not like he's Al Franken or anything....
Nope... this is Trump's America
Fucking coward
Not even Trump was stupid enough to do anything but condemn those killings. If you’re a politician and condone political assassinations, you condone them for yourself too.
Not even a censure?
A censure? We’d be lucky if he doesn’t get celebrated for it.
He’s a pedophile too
You can't know that for sure.... but I'm guessing no bookie would take that bet.
Is currntly paying 1.005 is 1* isn't.
*You get uour money back and a "fuck you he is still a piece of shit regardless"
He's a big time Mormon in a Mormon state. It'd be more surprising if he hasn't.
Too late asshat. Once it's on the internet it's there forever.
He knows. He got all the laughs he needed from his supporters. Now he can pretend he regrets it by deleting it while escaping any real consequences.
Trump must have a death grip on this guy, considering he’s such a yuge pussy.
Did they somehow work in “transgender for everybody” into the assassinations yet? I haven’t been following too closely.
