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
this claim originated from some podcast not any actual document that's even remotely credible
Do you have evidence of that? Seems like they do have some evidence in this article of their claims. Open to seeing some info challenging it.
Without a source or citation, your comment might as well be "nuh uhh"
Ironically, your comment is also not remotely credible without a citation.
One should not forget, that which is stated without evidence, may be dismissed without evidence.
Source?
In this and other reporting, the Canary shows itself to be a complete nonsense rag. But because this stupid "timing" conspiracy feeds into the political narrative supported by users here, they're going to think it has legs. They don't oppose conspiracies based on critical thinking. They oppose them based on what politics they support.
"Kirk, who had begun to turn against Israel and refused approaches from Israel lobbyists just before his death"
hell of an opening sentence there i can see what The Canary Dot Co is implying but uh seems a little irresponsible
How?
This was already in cuckoo conspiracy theory pand before they invoked the Jewish masterminds behind all evil.
This author, and likely the whole publication, can be dismissed as they repeat the “bullet does not match the gun” lie over and over in the article.
To help clear up the misconception: While not having reviewed the ATF’s report on the bullet fragment examination, Robinson’s attorneys stated “the ATF was unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied”.
His own lawyers weren’t even saying they didn’t match, just that the investigation didn’t conclusively (enough) prove they do (in their opinion)
His own lawyers aren't even saying he couldn't have written those Discord messages - he was in jail! The whole article is about a conspiracy against their client the defense isn't even siding with. It's utter bollocks, and Lemmings pushing it is shameful.
