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!

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspectin Saturday’s shooting, was registered as a Republican voter, according to Pennsylvania records.

Already the republicans are dismissing his voter registration as meaningless. Here comes the “mental illness” angle.

Edit: apparently it’s not uncommon to register with the party you oppose in PA. This is going to be a fun ride.

You really think that any of the cultists are going to care about what actually happened?

Their story will be that he's a transwoman high on legal weed who listened to woke podcasts about Gaza.

A brave and true republican boy, who got corrupted away from his family by the antifa deep state complex, he would have been such a great person, if only his parents had homeschooled him without interference from the communist atheists, and were allowed to hit him more as a child 😢

I should have saved it but I didn't. Someone else posted an actual MAGoo fiction about how a good kid goes to college and instantly gets a hot Black girlfriend who corrupts him with sex and Antifa ideology...

a hot Black girlfriend who corrupts him with sex

You son of a bitch! I'm in.

I think I saw a documentary about that on Elon's new video site, Xvideos.com.

(/s, NSFW)

Why is it asking for my driver's license?

Are ya in an anti-porn state right now by any chance?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You live in a red state that requires a government ID to watch porn online.

I love educational videos.

hot black girlfriend who corrupts him

Go on…

They met in a coffee shop and she bought him a drink spiked with an afrodisiac (yes correct spelling). Then while he couldn't think straight, she tricked him and brought him home where she literally f'd his brains out. During this time she was whispering deep state woke ideology in his ear. After cumming back to earth, he was fully corrupted and became a deep state sleeper agent.

I need to read this. What was the title?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Like I said, I wish I remembered. I vaguely recall the GF's name was Shondra, but that's iffy.

I'm usre you could come up with a better version if you put your mind to it.

Someone mentioned the story on Lemme. They gave a description.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

Then he got the covid vaxx and the 5g nano microchips got implanted in his brain and made him a deep state sleeper agent.

It’s those damn FEMA reeducation camps

No, but it might be enough to convince independents not to feel sympathy for him.

Up until 2016 I could pretend to myself that, when the chips were down, most Americans could tell chicken salad from chicken shit.

Too many people assumed Clinton would win.

Ergo, she didn't. Even so, never should have been close in the states that carried it over the line.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I sadly knew people who attended "Clinton Won!" parties, these same people didn't vote. Complacency is a killer.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Anyone independent at this point is a moron.

Facts won't matter. Facebook posts about deep state false flag operations will.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Anyone independent at this point is a moron.

This doesn't change the fact that Biden still needs those votes in order to be president.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Holy shit AND tried to assassinate a fascist? Why do they keep making up such fucking cool people

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

The cultists are gonna cultist no matter what. Truth still matters even in a political and media landscape that looks to be 'post-truth'. Don't get me wrong, I wish it mattered a whole lot more still.

When it was discovered Rittenhouse beat up a little girl, the story the Right made up was that the "Girl was a transgender who was spying on his sister in the bathroom!" when there's no evidence for that claim.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know Rittenhouse had attacked a child; I'm not in the least surprised.
