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!

his mocking of Trump's grieving of that dude's death was low and distasteful regardless, to say the least.
Edit (and keep downvoting me if you want):
Trump is a narcissistic psycopath who is incapbable of symapthy that's why he is expressing his grief through emotionless shock. This is the way all psycopaths sincerely express their condolences. It does not mean you make fun of them or make fun of death of someone who is already dead.
Charlie Kirk is meeting up with god in front of all the maimed kids of Gaza which he advocated for their slaughter and genocide. He deserves that and it's ironic how he was killed and the world is better without him.
I want to say a million thing but I can't bring myself to make fun of his death or make fun of the grieving of his supporters or family. That is not in me regardless of how much I disagree, hate and wish harm upon these people.
You mean lack of grieving or you didn't watch it.
Fuck you.
trump is the lowest and most distasteful form of subhuman life on this entire fucking planet.

(Believe this may have been sarcasm?)
But I mean, he didn't even compare Kirk's neck to fountain of Kool Aid, or make fun of the look on his face, mention how he was just about to lie yet again about gun violence before he died by gun violence, or anything.
And it's clear you didn't even watch this anyway if you mention Trump grieving.
