    Yes, and I often point to their hysterical outrage at the shooting of Ashli Babbitt as a prime example of this. Someone breaking and entering the Capitol, with a mob of people that had murderous intent, ends up getting shot and they are apoplectic about this, and still are.

    The idea that right wing white people might not be allowed to get away with just about anything absolutely infuriates them to no end. Meanwhile, if a black guy happens to get murdered by a cop for selling loose cigarettes or whatever…well, he had it coming. Or had drugs in his system, or whatever the fuck, who cares, why are we even talking about this?

        Yes, actually, shooting someone attacking the seat of government is fully justified. What a strange take, while you wear the mantle of the second amendment and fantasize about shooting intruders.

        So you’re admitting to being part of the insurrection? Maybe the FBI should know…

        I don’t think we’re defending it, so much as we’re indulging of schadenfreude.

        After all, this is from the same crew that likes to tell us to “just comply” and e everything will be fine.

              “… and a fascist bleeds”

              as phil ochs says, liberals are the shadiest of political persuasions.

              if you haven’t heard it, i strongly recommend “love me, i’m a liberal” or the updated version from the bush era by evan greer.

              @Dagwood222 calling me names is just a personal attack. i haven’t made any such attacks, so the anticipation of a flamewar is unfounded.

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.

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.

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.
