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!

"You talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded."
This idiot can't even muster up Idiocracy level insults.
He's like a human collection of the worst of 4chan.
Yeah. That would be good.
Haha.
We need to stop giving this shit bag air time.
In a better world, this kid would be a felon, in jail for murder (or at least manslaughter) and would never be able to use a gun again.
Our joke of a justice system led us here
Interesting that one can view his Twitter without signing on. I feel like I've tried to see non alt right profiles and was asked to log in before.
When approached for comment by Newsweek, Rittenhouse simply replied: "That Newsweek is gay."
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rittenhouse gained notoriety in August 2020 when, at the age of 17, he shot and killed two men—Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26—as well as injured then-26-year-old Paul Prediger, then known as Gaige Grosskreutz, after rioting broke out following a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
"I felt like John Wick but I looked like Paul Blart [laugh crying emoji]," the pro-gun activist captioned the clip.
Rittenhouse was hit with a wave of criticism on social media in June after sharing a post in which he baselessly stated that President Joe Biden "is gay."
When contacted for comment, Biden campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz told Newsweek in an emailed statement at the time: "Happy Pride, Kyle."
He then doubled down on his "gay" comment when he used it to refer to Vice President Kamala Harris and gun control activist David Hogg.
Hogg uploaded a photo of him and Harris speaking to each other on X, adding the caption: "Thank you for your work on gun safety @KamalaHarris @VP."
The original article contains 524 words, the summary contains 169 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
