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!

Did you see how they all backed up into an evenly spaced firing squad, and executed him? They TRAINED for that. They've been given order to get in front of a blocked car, and if it moves, kill the driver. That's why he walked all the way around the car that day, carefully documenting it.
They were also ordered that if anyone is spotted with a gun, kill him immediately, and we see how they've been trained to do that.
Both of those deaths were first-degree murder, and it's likely that SHE gave those orders, likely passed down from Stephen "PeeWee" Himmler Miller. She knows this isn't going the way they thought it would - that people would be intimidated and stop protesting, and the exact opposite has happened. Americans don't take well to literal DEATH SQUADS.
Now she knows that she's likely in the hot seat for a life sentence in prison, possibly even the death penalty, and she's not alone. There is a lot rising on them winning this Civil War, and they have the high ground, so we can expect them to get much worse, not better.
I'm waiting for the Black Panthers to show up open carrying assault weapons. That will be an interesting day.
