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!

Sinclair runs our local ABC station and I fully expect violent protests. We'll have to see how that works out.
I really hope it's true that they asked him to apologize and he told them to pound sand.
Break down the statement that was "OMG SOOOO OFFENSIVE!"
"We hit some new lows over the weekend (TRUE) with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them (TRUE - they were calling it an act of "the violent left" before we even knew who the kid was) and doing everything they can to score political points from it." (TRUE - like getting people fired from their jobs).
To me my biggest hope is that he takes their calls to donate to TurningPointUSA... and flips them.
"So, some asked me to donate to TurningPointUSA as an apology, I've decided it's more appropriate to donate to (pick a gun control charity here),
nah, we need guns right now, pick another anti fascist charity lol
I mean lets be real, none of these charities are pushing to ban guns, more like simple things like universal background checks etc... Point is if the goal is to give a middle finger to conservatives while describing it as honoring kirk, gun control would be the ideal, as that's litterally the cause of his death.
ACLU or something would be better and more effective
