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!

I stand by this: blown out neck zombie charlie kirk is gonna be a real popular costume this halloween
It’s gonna be this years raygun.
How are people going to make their face so small though?
And give themselves baby teeth?
chin putty. whole lotta chin putty
Use your own face but make a giant paper mache head.
With a big gaping hole in the neck.
I’d suggest people do some boxing training if they’re going to do this. To be ready in case.
not on the west coast. it's gonna be popular
Just a preview of how much of a shitstain Charlie Kirk was.
...and a great eulogy to the US right on the cusp of its collapse.
Kirk’s violent rhetoric helped shape this world, and yet, it has been deemed “civil” by those on both sides of the political divide. This is the mark of a sick society, one that is perfectly fine with an unconscionable body count as long as none of the disfigured, barely recognizable faces are ones we know from a screen. Some of the pundits fake-crying for Kirk probably found his views privately appalling. Again, networks made the deliberate choice to shy away from engaging with the substance of his debates. They were almost certainly aware, at least on some level, of the kinds of things he regularly said. But that didn’t matter. They had to put on a show. The show, after all, is what keeps the meat grinder that is America moving, and it must – at all costs – go on.
Bad Faith political debate is now considered valid.
Truth is dead because everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of public opinion
Republicans getting off on their false victimhood, neoliberals chomping at the bit to condemn a bad thing and signal their esteemed virtues - in other words, a day that ends in Y in America.
I’m sure there will be Charlie hats, flags, shirts, etc and that will help them. Nothing heals an emotional scar like go ol hyper capitalism buy, buy, buy!
Would Jesus have had merch and a GoFundMe if he was crucified in modern times 🤔
One guy at the event literally streamed himself stealing merchandise from the tent right after Kirk was shot.
Gotta make a quick buck.
cooked. entirely cooked.
