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’m sure he’s just joking. I wish someone would fucking kill this prick already. See, I just did it too. I’m joking about someone blowing the president’s fucking head clean off. See how humor works in the US? I’m just following the president’s lead here.
That's funny. It reminds me of this joke about Donald Trump getting picked up by the cartels and then they stab him to death with screwdrivers, slowly, over a period of days, and then the footage ends up on LiveLeak or something? I can't remember the whole thing, unfortunately. I think there was something about wild dogs fucking the holes, too? Man my memory sucks.
Just make sure you arent posting pebbles in the shape of numbers on a beach, that one can actually get you in trouble.
Clearly a line too far!
You know... with how incompetent the secret service has been lately.... they'd probably miss this thing:
And, getting hit by lightning is an act of god right, right?
Fun fact they actually foiled a plot on Obama where the guy was building some sort of microwave-based "death ray." He was going to mount it inside a panel van.
How has this not been made into a movie yet?
The Day of the Jackal, but I recommend the original book Frederick Forsyth (1971) and movie produced in 1973.
Probably don't want to give anyone any ideas
that idea has already been had, so it might as well happen.
Well, I don't mind making jokes because it's basically "just" a giant taser hooked up to a massive pulsed power source. it shoots a wire at something, which then makes contact with ground and it dumps all the stored power through that wire, turning it to plasma and making lightning.
that tower isn't just to raise the turret up- that is the cap bank. Getting that thing anywhere near Trump would be a shocking display of incompetence. or complicity.
also, I don't have the resources or expertise to build it. lols.
I looked up my example afterwards. It was actually x-ray based, so they wouldn't actually need to expose the device for it to work, and it would have feasibly fit in a van.
The two accomplices were also KKK members and they seemed more focused on killing random Muslims with it and going for Obama was more of an aspiration. But as delusional morons do, they overextended and got multiple undercover agents involved in their plot before they actually did any harm.
Just harmless ironic humor. No one should bother you.
And if anyone does then comedy is truly dead!
First they came for the dick jokes, but I said nothing because my act didn’t include dick jokes
Then they came for the [ethnicity] people be like jokes, but I said nothing because my act didn’t include [ethnicity] people be like jokes
Etc
