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!

You know how they like to milk things for years? Benghazi, Hunter's laptop, etc? To them this killing provides another justification along those lines.
It's incredibly short sighted, and again while I really hope I'm wrong, actual good people may suffer and die for 'mah revenge'. Trump may even direct all media to ignore, or worse, celebrate if that happens.
We all know they just want some reason to pull a trigger, and I think it's poor strategy to give one to them.
We don't even know what the motive is. They went to blaming the left without evidence and continuing to do so. Even if this turns out it was a crazy right winger, they will pin it on the left. So again, they don't need an actual reason when they can just make one up. This is why you NEVER placate to Fascists.
They refuse to admit having a pedophile as the president is a line too far for even their own constituents. They've lied all the way to the top, and now that the bills come due they are grasping at straws trying to distract from the obvious.
Placate ≠ not killing anyone.
True or not, the story is out that one of the casings had "“Hey fascists! Catch.” etched.
It doesn't even matter if that's true. The shooting is done, and the crazier ones will think of it as a favor.
Placating as in not appeasing to them. When the fuck did I ever mention killing people?
And there you go accepting the propaganda without evidence. Good job.
You mentioned placate after I said a shooting is bad strategy, so it was implied.
Anyway I'm done with this. I don't think you discuss in good faith.
Can you read?
And how the fuck was I arguing in bad faith?
