Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Turning away and slowly driving off is a big scary threat to these people...

Reality is they want to try and claim the plain as day video of the event is fake and their version is reality.

The Party told you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

The reality is that when she drove forward she was already dead

That’s great and all, but Tapper is a Trump apologist. Still waiting for him to write a book about Trump’s “mental decline”.

You don't have to agree with everything he's said. You just have to agree with this one.

That's the biggest problem with the left: if they're not 100% behind you on all things, they're behind you on nothing.

Every single member of this administration needs to be put in front of a firing squad.

I no longer care if it's through the proper channels of justice or the people rightfully rising up.

Wake the fuck up, America.

This is the first video I've seen him walking away. Does he jump right in that truck and leave?

Noem said that the murderer was taken to a hospital to treat his "injuries". It's a bald faced lie. Watch the video, and you see that fucking murderer holster his gun and walk nonchalantly down the street.

Yep, but she says these things not because they will be plausible after having seen the video. She is just creating raw material for Fox News, Newsmax, Nazi Twitter, Facebook bots, and others to use in left-violence propaganda narratives fed to people who will never watch the video or critically think about the story they're fed.

Is Tapper growing a pair? Will wonders never cease...
