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 really don't understand what point you're trying to make, or how reddit is involved, or why I should care about your sources.
I read a news article about a judge being arrested, and I commented on it. They were all my own thoughts from my own reading. I think it's abhorrent that ICE can issue their own warrants without judicial approval, and I think it's worse that if a judge does not comply with those warrants, she can be arrested by the FBI for "obstruction of justice".
I don't really care if I'm not one of your reliable sources. This is yet another example of tyranny in action, and I don't need to wait for someone else to tell me that I should be pissed.
Well i read the article and thought nothing of it. People seem to be pretty upset with me for it.
Lol it's not a very productive response. People are pretty upset about the whole situation, myself included. Your response basically amounts to "I don't care" and you're surprised people turn their anger on you?
People can feel as angry as they want about this type of fascist bullshit, and I think it's entirely valid for people to say "fuck off" when you tell them to calm down and call them an emotional slave to the narrative.
Your words not mine.
I'll do anything in my power to thwart the conservatives. If that means upsetting anons I'll upset some anons.
Oh I'm sorry, I paraphrased.
I bet they feel super thwarted lol
Hey, I only have my one voice. That's what it means to be genuine.
