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!

“The problem is, if you look at their next playbook, and the next card in their playbook, their next move, it will be false flag terror attacks blamed on Trump supporters angry about the verdict,” Jones said

You heard it hear first, Trump supporters. If you become violent and perform terrorist acts in response to Trump's 34 felony convictions, you're a liberal playing out the liberal playbook. What you should really do is defy those liberals and stay home peacefully. Imagine the liberal tears with zero terrorist acts! Just stay home.

This is exactly what antifa has planned! It worked on Jan 6th so why not do it again! Don't take the bait!

Trump supporters must be so happy that all those Antifa "false flag" insurrectionists are locked up in prison right now, right?

I would be appalled. Tears streaming down in rivers off my cheeks if nothing happens. To shreds!

Which is what he says after every right-wing terrorist act. It's almost as if the logical result of his and the other right-wing media's terrorist edging is violence...

The deep state are all looking at each other and saying, "WTF, it had nothing to do with drag queens. We just didn't want this idiot destroying our investments".

Wait until she hears about the Jewish gay lasers.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

She would definitely retweet a random internet post about that unironically.

"Deep State" must be the most watched porn title by republicans.

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

They're constantly in a deep state of denial.

Most Trans people I know don't give a fuck about politics, and just want live their life with those they love. Can we please stop bringing them into the political sphere as some wacked out agenda trying to overthrow the government?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No, because conservatives need an enemy they can all hate. And it needs to be an enemy who is at the same time vastly powerful and hiding everywhere, but also weak and easily defeated. And now that they lost the fight on gay marriage, they need an even more marginalized group.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I feel like of all the ubiquitous, ultra powerful groups in the world, trans folks are like, close to the bottom of the list due to them being vastly outnumbered and not at all militaristic. I think puppies would be a better bogeyman.

Kristi Noem has entered the chat.....

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Ah, but ARE they a tiny minority? They could be anyone, ANYONE, and you would never know, until it was too late!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Anyone else notice how much less attention MTG and Boebert are getting? Their playbook seems played out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

TBH, they are probably aging out. The RWNJs will go crazy for someone even younger and willing to spout all the things that tickle them in their naughty bits - basically spouting the kind of things their father/grandfather/great grandfather might have said during Klan rallies or Bircher meetings.

You'll notice that you hear even less from Failin' Palin and Michele Bachmann, but they are even older.

This is the wildest heading I have seen today.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Shit. She's slowly unravelling how I got my Jew-laser into space. This lady is a goddamn genius and needs to be stopped!

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

She WISHES she was in any way associated with drag queens.

" John Brandon is a DEI WOKE CRT!!!!!!!!!!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Deep State ? Hah!, they don't even know that below the Deep State, far beyond anybody's reach, lies the Abyss State. Now those are the real string-pullers, working in the shadows, puppeting even the Deep State agents. And have I told you about the Earth's Mantle State...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nobody appreciated your joke, but just know i blew some air out of my nose.

You may now ascend into super-heaven

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

That means a lot, thanks. I put some effort into it. Here's to hoping the Earth's Iron Core State takes notice

It's too bad Marge could not be relegated, like the days of yore, to some nut carrying a sign and some literature on a corner somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Also, obligatory video for any reference to the actor Alex Jones...

I wonder if this guy believes even 5% of the nonsense he spews?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Him? I have my doubts. Her? Quite possibly.

You have to check this one out, you'll love it: https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=KGAAhzreGWw

And then Jesus showed up and everyone clapped.

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

I'm all for anything that helps persecuted-by-the-Right drag-queens. Will it help them if I call her an asshole?
