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!

Huh. Crazy how all the violence has been perpetrated by Republicans. Almost as if there is hatefilled media driven messaging they are constantly exposed to and consume.
All Republicans including the guy who shot at Trump!
Have Trump or allies come out to declare him a RINO yet?
Well, they have already claimed that it was a hit ordered by Biden...
Which is now perfectly legal so what's their problem?
/s
Those rules were not meant for the current president! /s
You say that sarcastically, But I'll put 10 to 1 odds that at least one Republican lawmaker seriously makes that suggestion, and at least even money that says this Supreme Court would actually uphold it if it were to make it to court.
I say it sarcastically, but not without a hint of truth behind it. With the current political leanings of the Supreme Court, if Biden ever tried to off a political opponent as an official act, they would probably call for him to be impeached and hung for treason. If a republican did it, they would likely throw a pizza party and declare the act a necessity to preserve American politics.
Doubtful he was a republican, I'm pretty convinced he was libertarian. Just saying
Edit: Jesus, the mindless hatred. FWIW, I'm very anti Republican, but if you actually keep up with the information that has come out this dude was most likely libertarian.
Edit 2: based on news that came out today looks like he was conservative / republican
Libertarians are just Republicans who wanna smoke weed and not pay taxes
Be fair. They also don't like age of consent laws. Granted, Republicans don't either, but Libertarians are more open about it.
I'm not saying you're wrong
Whatever he was, he was registered Republican
Correct, in PA, a state which is known for people registering against party affiliations. His father, whose gun he used, is libertarian, and he donated to the Democratic party.
Registering as a Republican makes him a Republican no matter who he votes for.
You are thinking of libertarian vs conservative or liberal.
We're arguing semantics, which feels pointless.
If you don't know the difference then you are right.
Just saying you want to ignore reality.
What proof do you have of that?
What proof do you have that the shooting was faked?
When you came to this conclusion, were you someplace dark that smelled like farts?
Except he registered Republican, his dad is lib his mom dem he as a contrarian is repub.
What reason do you even have to doubt his affiliation?
