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!

You think Uday and Susay deserve to survive this? It's not like he cares about them.
Everyone in this thread is suddenly really comfortable with hurting innocent people/animals as long as they get to see the ones they hate suffer. Where have I seen that before...?
No member of the MAGA High Command is "innocent." The Trump children have been complicit in his corruption and crime, and they all deserve severe punishment.
And they are not being punished because they are hated, they are being punished because they are an organized criminal enterprise who has taken over our government and is actively looting it. We will punish their CRIMES, not their politics.
They aren't hated for their politics, they are hated for their corruption, treason, and pedophilia. Why do think people who have killed thousands, and stolen billions, and raped children, should get away with it just because they are MAGAs? Should they also get away with it if they were Democrats? How about independents?
How about NOBODY gets away with treason, corruption, and pedophilia, no matter what party they're from?
I don't disagree; the full-grown adults who are complicit in the bullshit we've been subjected to absolutely deserve to be punished. But the comment I originally replied to demanded the death of "kids and pets" as well, which is plainly unhinged.
