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!

After saying Jan 6 was his first day he said that’s what’s going to happen if the Democrats don’t change the law to require citizens to bring their passports or birth certificates to vote. His party will tell voters that the results are untrustworthy if they don’t add this overlay for the first time in US history. It was absolutely a threat. Pass our legislation or there is hell to pay.
Just because he said January 6 does not mean he is threatening another insurrection. He never detailed what he meant by “hell to pay”. No one but him knows what he meant by that.
Yet so many people want to jump to conclusions without any actual evidence. This is the crap that republicans do; we are better than that — we have to be, because republicans suck.
Leave the bullshit rhetoric to them, and stick to the facts.
The ‘that’s what’s going to happen’ connects the two thoughts.
I full agree that a huge amount of the time folks simply can’t see past their feelings for someone and see through that filter, but I’m not seeing the distortion this time.
I assure you, the magat seditionists understood that dogwhistle.
