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!

Found Stephen Miller's account.
Im guessing you don’t work in programming, law or science. Would that be a correct presumption?
That far right extremists keep perpetuating violence based on far right propaganda and that assuming this is one of those is along the same lines as assuming Kirk was intentionally shot and it wasn't just a random stray bullet.
Sure, we should stay open to the possibility that it is unrelated. But automatically dismissing what is likely to be intentional is ridiculous. She had been receiving death threats, and this would be one way to follow through.
I do work in web development and understand logic and assumptions. What are your credentials?
You had a point in your original comment, but you definitely lost me now.
They were displaying poor logical skills so I presumed they did not work in a field that required strong logical skills.
What is your job again?
Unless he actually answers, it's probably safe to assume Sr. Keyboard Warrior.
arson is not the most frequent cause of house fires so presuming arson as the most likely cause in this case is foolish. It could be a coincidence. We have no idea why this happened and deciding it is political is not logical.
Other than trying to fan the flames of discontent, and thus being part of the problem, what is the point of deciding this was political violence when you have no evidence at all to back any claim?
The intelligent position is to make no claims until you have evidence.
Ignore context harder daddy!
Do you know that arson is not the most common cause of house fires among people currently receiving death threats? Because I don't. Like.. it could be, but I wouldn't presume.
