2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Three years later, the ring leader and main benefactor is still free and openly lying.
This country is a joke. Literally incapable of defending itself from the inside. The US is beyond pathetic and will go down in history as such. We are so capable yet choose corruption.
And of course you get put on every watchlist in the country if you say people should just handle the Donald Trump problem directly and Shinzo Abe him. We do the most to protect that man from lynch mobs even though he was more than willing to use them. And for the record, I'm neither going to murder the man nor incite anyone else to do so, it's impossible to get away with and I don't have the balls even if I wasn't scared of prison, but I guarantee there would be very few tears shed if it did happen and nobody of worth would lose any sleep.
Political assassination gets rid of a figurehead but revitalizes the entire movement. It’s not a smart thing to do if you want to actually fix problems.
That's true but there isn't anyone waiting in the wings who can capture the reactionary imagination like trump. They've been trying and they always come up short. I don't get it because I think trump is an abhorrent waste of space, but his people just love the shit out of him. Without him the entire right fractures and starts infighting.
OR that becomes the event that unifies the right wing together. Don’t underestimate the power of a martyr.
