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.

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!

You and I do. It's his retarded supporters they're trying to keep in the dark.
Oh, even they know, as evidenced by all the death threats against Engoron, Willis, CO Supreme Court, ME sec of state, etc. ~~Only one who seems to not be getting threats is Jack Smith, though I could have just missed those.~~
edit: pfffffft of course Jack Smith got death threats, why did I consider otherwise?
That was a good point. I so rarely hear about the threats against him. Or they don't stand out among the others.
I had to actually go search to confirm it. He probably doesn’t make such a great sustainable target for them since after the Hague all their nonsense is a bit muted for him.
Threats against Jack Smith get less publicity because he's a well-off white man who isn't a democratic politician.
Possibly also because one case he’s working on has to do with Trump provoking violence on Jan 6, so all the death threats aren’t doing Trump any favors there.
Your point hinges on seditionists understanding nuance or having restraint.
They seem to understand nuance well enough when willfully ignoring it to make bad faith comparisons.
Otherwise, true.
I don't believe a person needs to understand nuance to be a hypocrite... they just need to value themselves at the expense of others.
True.
English has so many other words instead of using slurs.
Be better.
lol at comment+username.
Anyone who supports a monster like him deserves slurs.
I'm not sure what words you're advocating for. All of these are slurs, for example:
And so on, because slur means insult.
What a disingenuous argument... one of these things is not like the others.
We do not live in a black and white world. Certain words are far more hurtful and damaging than others. Calling somebody a big dumb poopy face isn't nearly as bad as pulling out racist or antisemitic or ableist slurs.
“Be better”
