Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Let em. Do they want my address? I would love to kick the shit out of some dick less wonders.

The amount of the population I fear in a fist fight is well less than 1%. These pussies bring guns tho.

There is a really funny video of a proud boy showing up at someone's house to threaten them, but he's very timid and the guy just rips into him and he nopes off. But in reality, a coward with a gun an your address can be a real problem, not that I personally doubt your confidence, I'm also not scared of people knowing where I live, it takes two hours from the middle of nowhere to get to where I live, and it's one of the most hostile ecological areas on the planet, so. Come at me bro!

Same. I'm not the tallest but I have been told I'm intimidating several times. I have boxed and I have been in actual fights. I would not call myself a Mike Tyson by any stretch of the imagination. But it's a very small percentage of the population that actually pipes up when I tell people to shut the fuck up. Which I have.

People who say these things never post their address.

People that say this don't really understand that we are being sarcastic. They are such little bitches they will do some dumb shit like put cat shit on my porch.

Sarcastic? Who was being sarcastic?

I would imagine whatever I respond with you is going to be much like a mental chess match with a special ed kid. So, kindly go eat a piece of lead.
