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!

Shouldn't they include a little detail about the situation instead of just the video? I found another article with some details.
It appears that this clown has been accusing the people running a Domestic Violence center of trafficking children and doing drugs. The inspector general, to whom he made the accusations, found nothing. He then, for some reason I can't fathom, joined the Division of Children of Families on a tour of the facility. Due to confidentiality statutes, the occupants of the shelter were moved to the bus to protect their identities during the tour. For some reason, he tried entering the bus which would violate those statutes
This ass had no business trying to get on that bus. Typical Republican. Rules for everyone else, but he should just be allowed to do whatever he wants and threaten violence if anyone should get in his way.
That's much worse than anything I thought it might have been. JFC.
yup, I'm willing to bet all of the money that if he were told "no" by a man, he would've slinked away. Instead, he was told "no" by a woman, and this is how he reacts. By putting his hands on her, and then bull rushing her with plenty of "no you" energy. He's a misogynistic POS, so, republican.
The worker should’ve Stood Her Ground, she rightfully feared for her life, she didn’t know if this guy had a gun, if he was going in there to hurt people
Yeah, find out the hard way that it doesn't count as self-defense if you do it to someone in the ruling class.
Take one of them with you :)
well he certainly shows what a little cunt he really is, doesn't he
This would've been a FAFO moment
