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!

What he said tonight was consistent with the instagram post he made before all the controversy:
He specifically did not address his statement that the MAGA crowd was desperate to paint the shooter as anyone other than one of them.
Which was an accurate statement, the right was making claims of "leftist violence" even before the shooter was identified, and they STILL are making the claims even though the shooters voter registration is unaffiliated with either party AND he failed to vote in 2024 or 2022 (he would have been only 17 in 2020).
Also remember that the ONLY information we have originates from Kash Patel's FBI, and Pam Bondo's DOJ. I assume that literally every single word I hear from them, or any other MAGA agency, is a complete LIE.
THEY say he's a liberal? I don't believe it for a second.
That is what worries me. Kimmel was doing good work pointing out to everybody that they were trying to use this to go after their political enemies with the awesome power of the state and their private groups supported by the state. Now no seeming mention of it? We won a big victory , how exactly?
If he is now too scared to address the administration nurturing Brown Shirts to Target critics and opponents and media then that is a major victory for them.
And make no mistake, that is where are the administration is going with this, full Nazi. Luckily they are incompetent as shit but I would not expect that to stop them forever, not the least given the lackluster opposition.
