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!

I’m grateful for the taxpayer dollars saved, anyway
It's nice when the trash takes itself out.
Man heard he had a Reagan judge and figured the fix was in.
Apparently, it was not.
And they’re cheap, too.
That's not a very nice thing to say about fashionably homeless John Travolta
If you ordered Fat Mac off Temu.
Ya I think he has a few loose screws. Most of them did.
The way this is an elected position in some locations, their are likely millions of people that were once chief of police. Many in some unheard of backwater place. Tend to get some nutcases the briefly hold that position.
Alan Hostetter, who was found to have carried a hatchet during the Capitol attack, cited Vivek Ramaswamy's suggestion at Wednesday's GOP debate that Jan. 6 was an "inside job."
He was there. He was carrying 2 hatchets, a knife, a bludgeon and wearing reinforced gloves. He entered the buildings. In what way could it possibly have been an inside job?
"Sure, I carried a weapon and broke into the building, but it was an inside job because um... I was a former police chief, therefore I was indirectly employed by the government... so the government did it!"
the entire thing was staged
My guy, you were there. In what way was it staged? Were you a crisis actor?
He represented himself at a bench trial
What's that expression about a fool for a client?
He is saying it is an inside job because he still believes Drumph won the election so he got orders from "inside the government"
My favorite part of all of these sentences is that Trump was still president for a few days after Jan 6 and absolutely could have issued a blanket pardon for everyone who participated in the riots. It would have cost him nothing and would have even further galvanized them in support of him. Instead, he chose to abandon them to their fate. He is incapable of thinking of anyone but himself.
My second favorite part is that this idiot chose to represent himself like he was gonna just drop tRutH bOmBs and convince everyone that the riot was an antifa false flag and he wasn't actually there. Eat shit and die in prison, traitor.
Irony of ironies – in the first pic, he's wearing a shirt that says "be the lion, not the sheep", emblazoned with an oh-so-majestic lion's visage, which he oh-so-erroneously envisioned himself as. That is just too rich.
He was a Sovareen citizen
A true Y'allqaeda
lol enjoy prison, traitor.
Wake up every morning in your tiny cell and remember that your orange hero isn't going to save you, doesn't give a shit about you, and probably doesn't even know your name.
Think about it longer and realize that you're not getting out of this, even if your orange hero wins and makes himself dictator. Because he only does things to help himself, or his buddies who have connections to help him. Why would he ever lift a finger to help a worthless loser like you?
Imagine throwing eleven years of your life away for nothing
Gen pop! I demand gen pop!
Ok, now do the thousands of other shitty cops!
We're stopping at thousands?
Oh no! Such a shame. How is that these poor tweedums, who were only out to visit the gift shop or something, are still being politically persecuted by Joe Biden himself?
-OJ supporters, probably
Perfect place for him to receive his pension
Oh, please tell me that he was disqualified from his pension
Hahahahah, I doubt it.
If being a criminal disqualified cops from their pensions, then there wouldn't be a penny paid out.
Does the pension plan deposit directly into his prison commissary account?
You’d have to ask Chief Ramen
Good get all those fucking fascists behind the bars.
