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!

That dude is EMBEDDED.
That makes me an international terrorist, i guess 😂
I think those Teslas spontaneously incinerated themselves out of embarassment.
Trying to pin it on Democrats who supposedly funded it is pretty far out. Come on. How much funding does someone really need to make a fire?
Is it still terrorism if you destroy a Tesla on January 6th at the U.S. Capitol?
I say we declare the GOP a terrorist group.
They did declare themselves that at one of the CPACs, so only seems fair to make it official.

"We Are All Domestic Terrorists."
Well then I guess I'll see y'all at gitmo.
There is a lot of shit people aren't doing because they don't want to cross the line and become domestic terrorists. You do NOT want to move that line over them.
OK, I'm going to commit international terrorism: fuck muskrat! muskdie!
Serious question: Historically, has a fascist movement ever been put down without the use of violence?
It always ends in violence. The kind of person that creates these racist movements simply does not operate with a human mentality. They wake up in the morning and their first conscious thought is to benefit themselves, the second one is hurting others to benefit themselves. They are pure evil.
Spain? Not super familiar with their fascist history.
I think that ended with the death of their fascist leader and then a peaceful transition towards democracy. So it can happen but only if your leader dies and the successor wants to reform the country back to democracy.
Stares JD Vanceily yeah we don’t have that
Quick history moment:
The US government has always treated politically motivated vandalism as domestic terrorism.
The FBI defined Earth First!, Earth Liberation Front, and similar radical environmental groups as terrorist organizations decades ago, because they spiked trees and burnt subdivisions and SUV dealerships.
The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act makes it an act of terrorism to vandalize a factory farm or animal research lab - even nonviolent protest that "intimidates" employees is illegal.
Some of y'all are acting like burning car dealerships was protected speech before Trump. Come on.
We are all domestic terrorists
What a bunch of snowflakes. What's wrong? Are we hurting his feelings? The richest douchebag, who doesn't know what he's doing, with his head is so far up his own ass I'm sure he can taste it, doesn't like being called what he is? 🎻
Fuck him. I have no pity for fascists. 🖕🏾
Poor Musk
Bruh...
I emigrated from a country that makes it illegal to criticize leaders
only to end up in a country that is also about to make criticizing leaders illegal.
Just... wow
