For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

At what point can the Justice Department start considering his statements as threats or incitement of violence? (Not that Garland would ever have the stones to do anything about it this close to the election)

Or, you know, Republican party leadership could grow a spine and condemn this language at the very least, if not pull their support from Trump. These kinds of things would have been disqualifying for any other candidate.

Why we have to just put up with this nonsense is beyond me.

I agree entirely with the sentiment and rationale. I patiently remind you it doesn't matter since his SCOTUS appointments effectively negated 1/3 of our government, thus guaranteeing region destabilization for the next 20 years. Just like the foreign powers that empowered him intended.

I remember when a guy got so excited his voice cracked on a stage at a rally and that torpedoed his whole political career

Now we have this gestures in bullshit

I remember the data on that was some hundreds of airing of a sound-edited clip, and one 30 second admission of fault was played. Manipulation.

The DoJ will get involved if the perpetrator does not have a following of millions of rabid cultists and is poor.
