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!

No it's not, the coup already happened. This is a robbery, and one even I could pull off. Fed system withdrawals, straight into monero accounts, later converted to Bitcoins, then cash.... So because monero is untraceable everything after that is untraceable. Maybe they'll add a coin tumbler, but in all likelihood they wouldn't have to. So more likely they just automate it and suddenly all be revealed to be billionaires later.
Prison.
…is what none of these people will face given Trump will just pardon them.
I recognize what you’re saying but I’m done having this particular conversation, you know? I’m not saying you’re wrong if we fight, etc., or anything like that. I’m just saying I guess I’m comfortable with the futility and I don’t think it’s going to shut me up on this one.
Then try pardoning a 5.56
Sorry, apparently everyone else understands this but I don’t, can you clue me in?
5.56 is is the standard ammo used by most NATO nations. It's what (for example) most AR platform rifles are chambered for.
It's a specific bullet size to be very explicit.
Understood. I would have normally understood .22 or .50, but those are the only two I’m particularly familiar with..
[Says the expert qualified former military idiot who only took the weapon quals because she had to… arcade light guns and listening are apparently really good training… (I’m as confused as the instructors were on that one..)]
Im more in favor of the Jack the Ripper methods of disposing of cheap whores.
Nothing against prostitutes just wanted to say this.
Dox them all to hell.
Text I just sent my wife:
This April is gonna be a lot of fun.
I’m more concerned about the 19 year old with the broccoli haircut.
I really wish they would stop focusing on the age. With computers, those 25 year olds can be light years ahead of thier older counterparts. And musk isn't expecting the guy to make any decisions that experience would help with. Musk just wants someone who does what he is told. Age really isn't a factor here.
