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!

Whataboutism. Doesn't directly address the fact that Trump made a death threat.
Not denying it. I just don’t care.
Our biggest problem is the ruling class are too far removed from consequences. They murder and steal on absolutely massive scales, and no one sees any jail time.
I don’t support capital punishment. They should be imprisoned for life. But I also didn’t care when Trump got shot. I don’t care that Trump suggested a merchant of death face a firing squad. These people are not worth our worry nor sympathy.
If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t be here making this argument in multiple comments.
I don’t care that she was threatened. I’m confused that anyone would give a shit, after she’s spent her career devoted to death & destruction.
I can tell how much you don’t care by how you keep going on about it.
I care that anyone would feel any sympathy for that monster. They shouldn’t.
So you lied multiple times until someone called you out.
You have a lot more in common with Cheney than you think.
Work on those reading skills, bud.
I don’t care that she was threatened. I care that anyone would sympathize with her.
Don’t blame me for your lies.
And if people have trouble understanding you, perhaps you should try to communicate more clearly.
Saying that something is a death threat is not sympathizing with someone.
