    Just for fun I looked up his stance on gun control. Seems like he wants to do everything he can to stop any kind of initiative there.

    So for anyone keeping score: Gender affirming care = punishable by death Kids getting shot = A-OKAY!

      He’s against body autonomy so it’s at least coherent.

    This comment is going to be banned, and I don’t care: GOP candidate himself deserves to be executed. This world has no place for bigotry like this, and the world would be a lot better without the likes of him.

        .world at least in the past has nuked entire threads because of comments could be construed as promoting or celebrating violence (because they were celebrating the death of a certain healthcare ceo by bullets).

            He ought to, since he was with me in a country bumpkin bar in Wyoming for the entire week that this event supposedly happened. Maybe after he is acquitted, they can find the real perpetrator!

          Maybe it was just one trigger happy mod.

          I got hit with the ban hammer once for saying “justice should be done.” Another time, for saying “let nature take its course.” Then there was the ban I got for advocating violence because I’d made a comment about running out of pins for my Trump voodoo doll.

          Their mods are on a hair trigger, but only if your political orientation is not fascist. It was all about malicious selective enforcement and vague, convoluted pretexts. So I used a script to edit every single post I ever made, replacing their content with lorem ipsum, and walked away almost three years ago. Fuck 'em.

    Someone needs to check his hard drives. When they go that extreme it’s to distract/hide something vile.

      If I was writing a sitcom, I wouldn’t name a character Monty Fritts because it sounds so implausible, even for a sitcom.

    Politicians who clamor for the death penalty should be used to test out more humane methods of execution. When one of them can report back on their experience, we’ll stop. Until then, nobody gets death penalty.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

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.
