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!

@Madison420 @deft
A knife can kill one person per minute. An AR-15 can kill dozens within that same time.
It's a false equivalency fallacy.
Not at all true, swords are still an execution method and I can guarantee you it doesn't take half a minute let alone a minute.
It isn't, but hyperbole is your path to tread if it makes you happy I suppose.
@Madison420
You are actually proposing that one idiot with a sword can slaughter dozens of people in less than a minute. LOL
It's time to turn off your video game and touch grass.
Correct sir, not only that but I can link you to Nazi and Japanese experiments on the subject of you've the stomach for it and the mods don't hammer me for nsflogwb.
@Madison420
You're obviously not willing to check facts, or you would have seen that I am not a "sir," merely by checking my profile. So forgive me for not believing someone's "promise" that they have Nazi propaganda (of all things) to back up their claims.
(Psst... Nazi experiments were never legit and never used actual Scientific Method. So quoting them doesn't do any good, anyway.)
I bet Elon misses you back on the Dead Bird site. You should go back and hang out with your buddies there.
Sir is a gender neutral honorific, but you're certainly welcome to be offended if that makes you feel better.
What does "Elon" have to do with anything? Like are you ok, you need help?
