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!

Anyone foreign would be smart to stay away from the World Cup. Even U.S. citizens are not safe from ICE just misinterpreting someone's actions and then executing you on the spot.

misinterpreting someone's actions

Yeaaah... Even this is giving them too much of the doubt. I don't think thats what's happening. I think they're angry and are purposely killing people to send a message about fighting back or questioning their authority. I truly believe they're just straight up purposely murdering people because they're angry and we're not in their 'us group' in their 'us against them' mentality.

Washington State sherrif Keith Swank even admitted as much with regard to wearing masks when they've been told its illegal. They're doing it because they don't recognize anyone authority to tell them 'no', on anything. It's a "fuck you I do what I want because i am the law" attitude. And if you question that well, now the nation has seen what happens when you do. They shoot you.

Truly psychotic people.

Specifically, they're angry at people being able to legally resist. Not to mention we're dealing with psychopaths who will record snuff footage of people they execute.

If you actually go to the FIFA World cup you're a moron and you might deserve what you might get. Stop supporting these fuckers. It isn't hard.

I live in a World Cup host city, and there is no fucking way I’m leaving to make it more convenient for ICE.

Same, I hope they fail spectacularly and our ICE loving mayor goes and dies in a gutter somewhere.

Cool, maybe they'll cancel the US games and only do Canada and Mexico

Please do not come here. Watch from the peace and safety of your own home.

Don't watch. FIFA doesn't deserve the ad revenue
