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!

I don't know that we should be advocating for violence here. If we do that, we may find our opponents responding by doing the same, resulting in a positive feedback loop of escalation. I mean it's not like they [checks notes] carefully planned and organized a rally based on an extremely inflammatory lie, riled up the attendees, told them to fight, sent them to the Capitol Building resulting in an angry mob that stormed the Capitol while actively calling for the deaths of the VP and several members of Congress, killing some people and vandalizing the offices of Congress...oh, no. Well, at least they weren't pardoned for their flagrant, violent insurrection...oh, no. You know what? Just disregard my earlier comments. Carry on.
We don't need violence to deal with Musk, I agree.
We can do far worse. We can strip him of his US government contracts, seize all of his US assets, and ban him from ever setting foot on US soil again.
He's always been rich since birth, but what he really craves is attention and adulation. He literally believes he's Homo Superior, and deserves worship.
He'll still be rich, but the blow to his fragile pubescent ego would be devastating.
Green. Mario.
Love it. Marios that are green should be free.
Oh shut the fuck up. They're already committing violence.
Maybe try reading again, a little more carefully this time. Start from the end, if it helps.
Sorry, not giving you a pass. Writing a block of text and then going "Oh nevermind" doesn't mean you don't get held responsible for everything you wrote.
Piss off with that.
Are you illiterate?
It's an obvious farce from the beginning with a direct reference to the violence of the J6 insurrection. It would have been a lot harder to make it any more transparent without just ham-fistedly commenting, "J6 bad. Violence justified." I'm definitely not asking for a pass. I stand by what I wrote. It seems we have different interpretations of its meaning.
