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!

The republicans did this in a blue state no less. They really are brazen.

The west coast has a lot of very very deep red areas. Even if you’re driving on the I5 through the major cities, you see a lot of bonkers infowarrior signs on houses between Portland, Olympia, and Seattle.

Ditto for California’s Central Valley. Drive from SF to LA and you’ll see a lot of loony cardboard signs from people who’ve fallen down the rabbit hole.

Sounds like it's about 475 counts of election interference

[–] Spiralvortexisalie@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It sounds like the 475 recovered are separate from hundreds more damaged beyond recovery. In any event allegedly 4 of these box explosives have been linked, the mandatory minimum for explosives during 4 Federal felonies would result in a 70 year consecutive sentence (so has to be in addition to whatever happens for the electronic interference). So even with the ghost of Johnny Cochran its a life sentence if he does not beat all the charges.
