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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

When is someone going to get fed up enough and [ Removed by Reddit ]?
I'm sure there are thousands of people unhinged enough to be willing to try that. If I read the news of that happening I'd celebrate, but I'm not personally trying to throw my whole life away for that.
Okay, that euphemism made me snicker.
One of his generals, aids or advisors need to stand up, bring honor to our country and [Removed by Reddit] for our nation, for the world and to be on the right side of history.
The aides and advisors are as sick as he is. The generals are the picture in the dictionary/encyclopedia for the 'people who are focused on the day to day tasks that have been placed before them so they can continue to exist in their status quo.'
Someone did. They missed by inches. I would imagine they beefed up security a bit since then...
And, in most cases, it's a good thing that our head of state is well-protected. Otherwise, we'd have a new president every week and the executive branch would be a mess...oh....hmmm....
Still not sure it was a real attempt or staged.
It was fake
Only reason I disagree is because of the father that died right behind Trump.
Why? Shooting someone in the crowd doesn't mean they aimed at Trump
Ah yes because Trump would never do undue harm to an innocent person for the purposes of his own gain.
Oh that's easy, crisis actors, that father never existed
Nah, no they didn't. We're going to find out in like a decade just how it was staged, once all the relevant people are dead (of old age).
Right! I must have been high when I wrote that! 🤣
If I had the skills. . .
