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!

These articles really sound like they are written by people who want to suck on the toes of fascists.
They are already invading American cities and disappearing innocent people.
Could they use the protests as a reason to kick off more horror? Sure.
Are they going to kick off more horrors regardless of this protest? Absolutely.
Staying home and toeing the nazi line isn’t going to stop them from seizing more and more power, so why not get out there and let your fellow man know that you stand with them against tyranny?
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
Yeah, it’s the same thing as all those articles that came out when that Joker movie did about how there was always the chance that people seeing the movie would be moved to random a acts of violence, and oh wouldn’t that be terrible, and maybe people shouldn’t watch the movie because what if that happened…
Honestly it’s laughable how transparent they were being in trying to encourage violence in order for them to have a real reason to ban the movie.
Yeah. This administration has made it clear they will never do the right thing and will violate any agreement. There's zero reason to negotiate with them.
It's whybthe Dems CANNOT back off on the shutdown. Trump's threatening to fire a bunch of federalnworkers he doesn't like if the Dems don't play ball, but he's been doing thay anyway for 10 months. There's nothing he can threatening he isn't going to do anyway, so there's no reason to compromise.
