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!

In 2023, how are these threats not immediately traceable and punished? Even burner phones have to be registered these days, right?
Considering what happened to the January 6th insurrectionists, even if they're caught, they'll get a slap on the wrist.
What? Many of them are in prison for over a decade.
I'll have to find a tracker, but I think most of the insurrectionists received a very mild sentence, if any...
I think the only big punishment for them was taking away their guns since they're felons now. Though I doubt that will stop them
Maybe the “regular” people, but show me one of the GOP members who has been put in prison? Especially the orange stain himself.
That’s not what the conversation is about. The Jan 6th insurrectionists are what we’re talking about.
Exactly, and who instigated, motivated, and coordinated it all? Where are the Turning Point people with busses to bring folks to DC? What about the congressmen who were tweeting the location of other representatives?
Again, that’s not who we’re talking about.
The cops and FBI are on their side, that's why.
Hell, a decent chunk of the posts are probably from cops.
There is a long history of law enforcement not taking threats of violence seriously, when they come from white conservative groups.
The Secrete Service might. As far as I know they take all threats to the president as pretty serious. But that only helps the president, not the rest of us.
Perhaps in the past, but at least as of a few years ago, the USSS was heavily infiltrated by MAGA fascists.
Carol Leonnig’s book Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service goes into great detail on how compromised that organisation has become.
That is because Law Enforcement groups and White Conservative Groups are the same group.
some of those who work forces, are the same that burn crosses
