Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

“ties to anarchist ideology”. So - close!

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Who wants to bet that this is just another right-wing nutjob and not an "anarchist" at all?

I might believe the cops if they weren't constantly caught lying to further their right-wing projects.

"did someone say antichrist? No? Aww"~Theil

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe they were just singing lyrics:

 I am an Antichrist
 I am an anarchist
 Don't know what I want, but I know how to get it
[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think the suspect will claim it, but...

A law enforcement official said that police have not yet determined a motive, MS NOW reported.

But the suspect has been linked to statements that show support for an anarchist ideology, two people briefed on the arrest told the news outlet.

The cops/feds are 100% going to say it, and already basically are.

It's gonna be Biden! Or Pelosi! Or Hillary! That sneaky Obama...

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 32 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

TL;DR: they arrested someone.

That’s it. That’s the article.

[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't know if it changed since you commented, but the article I read included a bunch more than that

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah it got updated

Next week: Trump pardons suspect in Jan. 6 pipe bomb case

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 20 points 3 weeks ago

Technically, he may have already pardoned them .

Acting pursuant to the grant of authority in Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution of the United States, I do hereby:

(b) grant a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021

It happened on Jan 6 and it was near the Capitol, right?

So they finally caught MTG?

[–] adubya@feddit.online 12 points 3 weeks ago

She resigns and now they found the bomber, just asking questions

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Was it Margarie like the Internet assumed?

[–] evenglow@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Timing makes sense with her sudden resignation and everything about her that we already know.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The pipe bombs have been an ongoing conspiracy in the MAGA movement. So they probably just picked up some rando to try and kill the narrative.

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago

Pardon coming in 3. 2... 

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

No one sane believes in American institutions anymore.

Somebody at the FBI about to get fired...

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

That implies that the organization isn't corrupt beyond fixing though... It's probably time to swallow the truth.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Peaceful protesters.
