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!

“Thomas said that the aim of this and subsequent attacks was to create enough chaos to bring about the overthrow of the U.S. government,” Prator said. Thomas indicated that he believes that the U.S. government is run by an elite group of individuals who sacrifice and consume infants who also were deeply involved with Jeffery Epstein and are now protected by President Donald Trump.”

FBI task force officer Christopher Betts said in the court document that Proper’s mother called police in Ohio last Wednesday to express concerns about her son due to “recent conduct,” including firearms purchases and communications with “random” individuals online.

His family also told law enforcement officers that Proper recently made “concerning statements,” including “making sympathetic comments about Adolf Hitler and posting anti-Semitic comments on Facebook.”

In an interview with Proper’s mother, Betts wrote, she told them Proper “had recently begun interacting with a group online that was comprised of individuals who claimed to be ex-military and Christian-based.”

This looks like right wing accelerationists.

Probably fit the exact MO as every J6 attendee and wanted to go to the UFC fight. So they saw an opportunity to label this one as an enemy and show the media that MAGA is very anti Nazi... Which is very popular in the MAGA world oddly when they are very anti antifa.

including “making sympathetic comments about Adolf Hitler and posting anti-Semitic comments on Facebook.”

So, a Turning Point guy, perhaps?

False equivalence of criticism of israel with nazis.

No you didn't. Shut the fuck up, Khash. Go back to snorting up the entire economy of Bolivia, you bug eyed, unqualified sack of shit.

They spent a fucking decade building up pizza gate and the Epstein files and now their chickens are coming home to roost.

I’m not agreeing with these wing nuts, I jest have no sympathy. This is a problem that keeps happening because they created it.

These are supposed leftists being charged with some grand conspiracy they had no intention nor ability to carry out and had not done anything to further that end, based on some idle talk online. Accusations of pro hitler are israel backing fabrications to character assassinate them, perhaps comments made by one of their agents to tar the group, I strongly presume.

Watch what the fuck you say people. Agent provocateurs are everywhere.

I'm sure Trump saved the world from some aliens too

We'll get more details once they're done making them up.

This wouldn't be a problem if there were a vulgar, gold-plated ballroom in which to host cage fights...

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Probably a group online with idle talk. No follow through, no actual plan, just, what would be cool, we should...

Putting Strickland in cuffs doesn’t count, Kash.
