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!

The irony of him talking about shootings in America and then the shot rings out.
That is just…a little too convenient?
Too convenient? It's an assassination ~~attempt~~, of course it's convenient, it's deliberate.
We just don't know what the exact motive was, or if there even was one. There's a lot of information we're missing.
Yes. I’m aware. I’m saying the shot timing based on what he was talking about literally right then. Was the whole thing/talk about shootings? Was it a very crazy coincidence? Was the asker and shooter a plant?
We will find out in time. It’s just very weird timing.
We're going to see a lot more of this kind of thing, and a lot of it has roots in the idea that Garland and the SC threw away Rule Of Law and decided that political agendas are above the law and that the social contract no longer matters.
More and more people, groups and institutions are going to decide that they can interpret and enforce whatever laws they want to see.
I agree with you 100% on this.
I don't think he was considered a disposable pawn. This was the sort of shot that's hard to interpret as a plant.
He may have been killed by the right. But honestly someone is going down for this regardless of if it's the person who shot him. And if the person going down dies before trial they're likely going to have evidence they're trans planted if need be.
Much like the reichstag fire they don't need to fake an incident, they just have to keep twisting the screws and never let a good tragedy go to waste.
yes it does really feel like that. a plant to exert the totalitarian police state just like Germany back then.
