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!

I saw terror, and groups, and no justice come from January 6th. Fuck you.
A real call for violence against the Gestapo is getting close. It's going to be our last option
“Charlie’s death is like a domestic 9/11,”
My guy, how fucking dare you. How the entire fuck do you dare compare the assassination of a guy, any guy, to the death and destruction on the scale of 9/11. Someone should slap this man for even saying such an absolutely insulting piece of bullshit. Jesus fucking Christ. Fuck you.
“Just as after 9/11, and Osama bin Laden, the ultimate culprit, was captured, we are operationalizing the Treasury, and we are going to track down who is responsible for this.”
A) Bin Laden wasn't captured, he was killed on sight. B) There is absolutely no reason to think that Charlie Kirk's killer didn't act entirely independently, nor that he was connected to ANY left wing groups formally or informally, nor that anyone else knew about this assaination plan, let along helped to arrange it before hand. C) Since when is investigating assassinations in the purview of the Treasury in the first place? And what possible (legal) means and methods could you even use to do that from within the US Treasury? We all know you're about to make up some more bullshit to target political enemies. Just do it and drop the stupid pretense.
Why’s the money guy declaring war? wtf
War involves money.
But I thought a different part of the government had this authority…
