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.

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.

"Republicans do not support the first amendment."
They also don’t support the USA.
They're traitors, and you know what they say:
He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.
transl.: if you get caught redhanded commiting crime, just claim it is for patriotism or some shit...
Republicans are something society needs to leave behind in full. They literally don't stand for anything and are net negative for society.
The destruction of the mainstream conservative media by companies like NewsCorp have yielded great results for right wing authoritarians.
At this point, they clearly aren't even for corporations or shareholders, given the most recent cascade of economic catastrophes.
This is the only hope for America not to fall, if Trump and Musk also screw the elites too much there will be much more likely a revolution.
Such big man babies, they are going to make it illegal to not like them??? There is not a word in the English language that describes how baby, child like and immature this behavior is. I think we shall call it being musk. They are being extremely musky about this.
Didn’t think they’d abandon Musk this quickly

What about Vandalism against other car dealers. That's also domestic terrorism, right?

from TFA:
go for the tires. easily accessible. high energy density.
Nice. If they'd had that as a color option, they might have sold more!
Just avoid setting the whole thing on fire. Lithium battery smoke is extremely toxic.
So, the land of freedom is now trying to tell people what emotions they can feel? Against the guy who's supposed to be a free speech absolutist?
"You can say whatever you want, as long as it doesn't upset me."
The hypocrisy is unbelievable. You'd think they'd at least avoid making themselves look like complete fools, try to hide it a little?
And decided by the guy who started the birther conspiracy, feeds the pedo conspiracy (while openly being one), and told the world that his Presidential rival "turned black".
Fuck Trump and Musk, they both seem to be real musky about being called out for being awful humans. Trump should probably be more concerned with what JD is doing to the White House furniture, going to have to get plastic sheets to cover them all.

"trump was right about everything", denial is the first stage of grief. the rest will come in due time don't worry.
Next thing you know they’ll be calling democrats an insurgency.
They've been waging war on words for years now. Keep using them improperly until they don't have any meaning left. So... totally on brand
They have been... In this very article they claim (with no evidence) that the Democrats are finding the NGOs that are doing this.
But what about those of us around the world that hate him? Am I an international incident yet?
My dogs face when I'm holding bacon is how I imagine Republicans look when they see a boot.
Stop it guys, you’re scaring him!
