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!

MODERATORS
I would argue they are.
From what I've seen, they still might be their best…
Imagine anyone getting this riled up about Hakeem Jeffries, the most milquetoast liberal I can think of.
It makes sense once you understand the conservative mindset: "Anyone who disagrees with me in even the most tepid of ways is a flaming liberal and doesn't deserve to exist, because I'm so fragile I must be validated in my beliefs at all times."
Once you recognize that we're dealing with an entire political party that has actively driven itself insane and become a cult, this sort of thing becomes perfectly expected.
I think our rhetoric isn't insulting enough. We need to start calling them babies
Huh, that's weird. It's almost like the J6 terrorists (stop calling these people "rioters", FFS) are bad people.
I prefer insurrection because the only people they seemed to be trying to terrorize were people I'm ok with getting terrorized: any politician.
Afaik they didn't commit any acts of terrorism* against any civilians although I wouldn't be surprised to be proven wrong on that point.
*Unless we are using dubya's/trump's definition of terrorism which is anything
They killed at least one Capitol cop, and while I'm not friend of cops, cops aren't politicians.
Pardon #2 incoming
Does anyone know who has the record for most pardons?
Edit: Record of receiving pardons, not granted.
The bigliest number. The greatest. The most number on earth.
Idk if it counts, but surely Andrew Johnson after the civil war right?
Received, given, or a combination ?
NY State charges.
I’m sure Bondi will contest and ask for federal.
Is there a running tally of the number of J6 people who have been re-arrested for unrelated charges since being pardoned?
Eerily similar to what's happening in Russia with the murderers and rapists who "earned their freedom via glory on the battlefield" now murdeing and raping in Russian society
I'd rather he was arrested for threatening to kill Bernie or AOC. At least he woild be threatening a politician who actually matters. /s
who would’ve guessed
How perfectly normal
Another one bites the dust.
