politics
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!

George Floyd murdered in the streets by police: "People are out of line and should be jailed for their reaction"
Old white dude gets convicted by a full jury of white color crimes: "BURN IT ALL DOWN!!!1!1"
Perfectly rational folks there.
I hope they don't block traffic. I don't know if any passed, but a few places were trying to make it legal to run over protestors blocking traffic. That would sure be a shame if they had to find out.
They're going to block traffic with their trucks and police are going to protect them.
This is it. The police will absolutely not apply the laws evenly here.
Florida made that legal.
Oklahoma too. Possibly others as well.
OK is never okay.
Texas Governor Abbott pardoned a guy who straight up shot a white BLM protester while he was pushing his black wheelchair bound girlfriend.
Said shooter also turned out to be a serial child rapist, but... didn't matter. He got out anyway.
I'll never understand how a serial child rapist is ever "out" to do any further crimes. They shouldn't even be breathing.
Let's not go down that route, capital punishment is a barbaric mistake from a societal standpoint
I'd settle for keeping them imprisoned.
When you've got friends in the governor's mansion...
I have no idea if you put "white color crimes" by mistake or on purpose, but I'm going to use that, especially related to politics.
Well there's no rational reason why anyone would ever vote for that piece of shit in the first place. Their rationality went out the window decades ago.
Makes perfect sense if you're a fascist fellow traveler
They should all Jan 6 the courthouse on July 11. It would be nice to get a few thousand more of these shitheads locked up before the election
