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!

And when you die, the media will be sure to memorialize you by reminding everybody that you were an illegal immigrant in possession of an illegal firearm that murdered a law enforcement agent, reinforcing the stereotype that immigrants are just armed, violent gang members that need to be deported before they kill even more people and giving Trump yet another opportunity to shore up support for all of this by standing in the White House and using the incident as evidence that he was right and you were nothing but a violent cop killer. I'm sure that'll help a lot.
Yea and being disappeard into a death camp forevermore that no one ever exits is gonna be so much better. Fuck off with your rhetoric. Let those poor bastards that are the ones being hunted decide for themselves and quit being a little bitch and help them. I bet you'd be surprised at how many of them would fuck up some ice goon right now vs. a torture and death camp until they die or are murdered. I challenge you to give them the choice and see what happens.
Shit I forgot. They don't deserve a choice. They're just immigrants. Your inhumanity stinks. I can smell it all the way in Canada.
If you insist on pointless suicide-by-cop for these people, why not have them make a real statement. Distribute gas cans and tell them to self immolate in front of the white house.
If you really super-duper want violence, argue for impactful insurrection with organized goals. Reactionary violence against nameless jack boots is the least useful thing imaginable and you look foolish for frothing over it.
I insist on choice for them. Their own choice not yours or mine. It is not our choice to make. Now kindly fuck off you repressive twat. You're no better than your dictator and his ice goons in how you treat people.
No you didn't. You said arm them and encourage them to shoot any random guy in a bullet proof vest who shows up. Read your own damn comments.
If it's not our choice to make then keep your stupid counter productive fantasies to yourself.
Yea arm and encourage isn't making decisions for people. You seemed to have cherry picked that information as well and left the remainder behind. The direct quote of mine is this...
"Suggest they arm themselves and fight back and the reasons why so they can make an informed choice on how they personally wish to protect themselves now that they have this new information. "
Education is not decision making you fool. You'd know this if your government and education system hadn't failed you. It's not a fantasy. The dictator that you voted in to power is disappearing people every day. But you're not one of them so fuck everyone else. Enjoy the camps.
