    Mod opinion: Links to the video not marked NSFW/NSFL will be removed.

    My non-mod opinion:

    Not going to celebrate, just noting:

    “I can’t stand the word ‘empathy’, I think it’s a made up New Age term.” - Charlie Kirk

    Most of my conservative coworkers haven’t even posted anything about his death on Facebook, instead they are posting about how COVID-19 is still being used as a weapon.

    I do not condone this type of violence in any way whatsoever. I never liked this guy and he was human garbage, but this is not the answer.

    However… I do not feel bad for him or his fans. I feel bad for his kids who had to witness it and will now grow up without a father and I would never wish that upon anyone. Unfortunately, when you base an entire career off of hate you’ll only get hate back. We’re talking about the same man that said school shootings and people dying from gun violence are necessary sacrifices. The same man that wanted to bail out the guy that assassinated two Democratic lawmakers. The same man that stopped talking about Epstein as soon as Trump came up.

    I think political violence is disgusting and a slippery slope to so much worse, but I do not feel bad for this man for facing the consequences of his actions and hate.

      Sometimes violence is needed. You know your revolution you guys are so proud of. When rich white guys didn’t want to pay taxes. Oh not much has changed.

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.
  2. 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.
  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.
  5. 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!
