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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Did you see how they all backed up into an evenly spaced firing squad, and executed him? They TRAINED for that. They've been given order to get in front of a blocked car, and if it moves, kill the driver. That's why he walked all the way around the car that day, carefully documenting it.
They were also ordered that if anyone is spotted with a gun, kill him immediately, and we see how they've been trained to do that.
Both of those deaths were first-degree murder, and it's likely that SHE gave those orders, likely passed down from Stephen "PeeWee" Himmler Miller. She knows this isn't going the way they thought it would - that people would be intimidated and stop protesting, and the exact opposite has happened. Americans don't take well to literal DEATH SQUADS.
Now she knows that she's likely in the hot seat for a life sentence in prison, possibly even the death penalty, and she's not alone. There is a lot rising on them winning this Civil War, and they have the high ground, so we can expect them to get much worse, not better.
I'm waiting for the Black Panthers to show up open carrying assault weapons. That will be an interesting day.
