                I really like that he seemed to think it wasn’t an effective tactic, but it sure seemed to keep him busy all day instead of bothering other people.

              That tactic is about as effective as a peaceful protest.

                You could also be out buying ammo or whatever instead of doing this.

        Again it’s probably not that long. How much does it matter.? I guess he doesn’t see it like that.

      He’s on the final stage of malignant narcissism. He’s gonna want to hurt as many people on his way out as he can.

      The Atlantic wrote an article shaming Americans for their feelings about Luigi Mangione last December. I will never read that neoliberal facist enabling garbage ever again

    Well if his health continues as it appears it is, he may actually be president for life. And at the same time not make it until the end of his second term.

    Sure pal keep believing you can live forever, he should be happy to live to the end of his term, unless one of his diseases ends his reign.

    He has a kid literally named BARON. If the constitutional term limit of two is violated, then the age to be President surely can be. Plus you get the added bonus of a clueless kid that can be manipulated easier!

    I am being sarcastic, but also slightly scared that’s how it would play out.

    They will eventually attempt to prevent anyone who registered/voted Democrat from purchasing firearms.

    Buy them now. Help everyone you know get armed.

    Fighting fire with empty words
    While the banks get fat and the poor stay poor
    And the rich get rich and the cops get paid
    To look away
    As the one percent rules America

    Spreading the disease
    Everybody needs, but no-one wants to see
    The way society
    Keeps spreading the disease

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!
