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!

Holy shit. Let justice prevail. This asshole needs to be a convicted felon. Judges are getting scared to do their jobs.
I'm in the medical industry. I put blinders on every day. I don't care what brought you here or why you're handcuffed to the bed.
Yes, I'm proud to say I've worked in a prison ward and been swung at and almost stabbed a few times.
I still show up to do my job.
Putting out a hit list and having a cult of followers that intimidate you and disobey you to this degree is fucked up. Judges should be impartial, of course. That also should allow them the right to reign in a flagrant bullshitter and bully when they see one.
Strongman dictators are exactly who the CIA likes to put in power in other countries, so I doubt they would stop Trump in their own.
As much as I am inclined to agree with the sentiment, that would set a very dangerous precedent and jeopardize future Democrat presidents.
JFK got shot remember? He was too progressive.
Why? If you are that rampant evil and disregard ANYTHING that actually holds western civilization together (which in itself is pretty ironic, considering the literal crusades against islam and the likes) and also do not uphold the constitution...and eel yourself out of every court to hold you responsible...well.
The last two Presidents to die in office were Democrats. It's a Republican's turn. Any one of them would be fine with me.
You're doing amazing work. Thank you.
Unfortunately, self preservation and turning a blind eye to suffering are what psychopaths who want nothing but power excel at.
Expecting them to do the right thing is untenable. It goes against their nature. We are incredulous for all the reasons they are not remotely phased by bad behavior.
