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!

For anyone confused.
This is terrorism.
This is the face of it, the every day part. If we don't fight this then we will end up fighting an insurgency.
You know what? Thank you.
I just reported her to authorities. I hope that leads to something.
Is this the immigrant terrorism the Republicans keep talking about?
By...
Passing new laws, setting up DOJ task forces, revoking tax exempt status from participating "churches", actually arresting conservatives who threaten people with guns...
The bar is in hell.
We can't do that. This is something left up to the legislatures, which are stacked with do-nothing Dems and fascist Repubs.
That's something only the AG can do, and Merrick Garland doesn't seem interested.
A job for the legislatures and the courts. Again, completely outside our control.
A job for the police. And it should go without saying that "Some of those who work forces..."
I don't think Americans really understand what their role is in a civil society. All we know how to do is to subcontract and outsource to someone else and hope it gets done.
Well not with that attitude.
