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!

Trump is fully aware that his supporters will engage in political violence, and that what he says (or refuses to say) has an impact on said violence. DoJ, take note for when he encourages another mob to engage in violence on his behalf and then acts like he wasn't doing exactly that.
Edit: In case I wasn't perfectly clear, this statement by Trump is admissible evidence that Trump knows that his speech is capable of encouraging violence, even something as otherwise harmless as "Is there anybody here who's going to vote for lyin' Kamala?"
I'll be at my local polling place with my concealed Colt .45, with my AR in the truck.
Let the red hats fuck around.
Libs: Time to stop pointing fingers and clutching pearls. Be there! It will be wild!
(I'm no badass, but I'm experienced, know the local laws and can shoot quite well enough. And I will be scared shitless, but I'll have some up-close conversations with anyone seeming to intimidate voters.)
Please don't pull a Rittenhouse.
Not possible. Liberals and dems always face punishment while Republicans violate every rule and law
Be careful about that. It’s not legal to conceal carry at a polling place in Florida even with a CCW. I’m not sure where you are but the gun laws in FL are relatively lax; so just double check before.
Hell yeah. I'm in. I'm breaking out my gun and gonna march my ass proudly confidently all the way down to my mailbox on October 20th or so. Unless it's raining. Then like. Maybe the next day.
They're at a Trump rally, of course they're all going to vote for Trump. The only reason to tell the non-existent people not to raise their hand is to normalize violence against the opposition.
