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!

There’s been multiple assassination attempts in his first year of this administration
Last I checked all of those people were right wing chuds. Make of that what you will.
The WHCD guy was a weapons grade shitlib.
He was complaining about Hasan Piker on the train to DC.
Sounds like the problem may inevitably take care of itself.
No? Two were Ukraine guys, pretty much centrist liberals. One was all over the place
I didn't know "Ukraine guy" was a political position.
Support of US support of the Ukrainians in the Russo-Ukraine War. Both Routh and now Allen had documented public statements of that - https://thepostmillennial.com/exclusive-whcd-shooters-bluesky-posts-revealed-aggressively-anti-trump-jd-vance-pro-ukraine
They had better aim when JFK was president.
Well, if we count half-sentient lunatics walking around Florida as an assassination attempt that is. But even if we do, in a country that has more guns then people, he was shot at once, and even then it was in that part of the ear that completely heals leaving no traces of a scar, so really, it doesn't count.
He's had so many he's smiling at other people and being pretty unsafe about his own safety.
