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!

Oh god.... This is SNL level embarrassment shit right there!
What the heck are Hispanic people doing in the ranks of that demonic org?
I guess there's bad people no matter where you go, so that's a simple explanation.
The leader of the Proud Boys was hispanic.
The Right deliberately started including hispanics / Latinos as white people years ago. Note that I'm not saying anyone is or isn't white, only that the "definition" of a terrible group was changed to capture votes. White supremacists can fuck off.
They get a $50k sign on bonus in 5 years, assuming Trump is still in power, and actually pays the bill.
That's alot of assumptions, but none of these shit for brains are too clever so who really knows what they were thinking.
Got some bad news for those folks. It's 10K a year in good standing but if they fall out of good standing (a vaguely defined measuring stick) they have to pay back the bonus...going all they way back to signing.
Just another assumption for them.
What are the odds it wasn't them? They just became fall guys for the white agents?
Pretty low dude. Historically some of the most racist groups toward 2nd generation Irish immigrants were 1st wave Irish immigrants. Humans are impressively fucking stupid which is why I don't have any.
Come on, don't leave us hanging like that. Any... Humans? Unicycles? Regrets?
Where do you think all the south American juntas get their troops?
SNL level embarrassment...?
SNL has had several skits regarding this sort of thing and the reaction of black people and white people to seeing themselves as causing trouble out on the streets.
