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!

Don't go to McDonald's!
The silence on this matter means it's a Republican that is the suspect.
Can't wait to see what vaguely antifascist message is scribbled on the bullet casings.
They initially said the Charlie Kirk shooter was trans because TRN was imprinted on the bullets. Until someone pointed out that TRN was actually the bullet manufacturer .... headdesk
Trump Bad Ponies! Thanks Obama
And that the suspect is in custody and not dead.
So white?
Right after Trump got ordered to remove the troops and ostensibly agreed to do so. Seems suspicious.
Last week, a federal judge ordered an end to the deployment but also put her order on hold for 21 days to allow the Trump administration time to either remove the troops or appeal the decision.
Perhaps if these judges would make the intermediary status the historically normal one instead of the fascist dictator one, this kind of thing could be avoided.
So lemme guess, it was a weird ass Republican who did this, yet it's going to cause Preznit Piggy to lash out at democrats for it, forcing more national guards to blue cities (including DC)? They'll use this to try and further their narrative.

"More than 8,000 people from Afghanistan were also granted deportation relief under a separate program called temporary protected status, which Biden extended in 2023 but Mr. Trump chose to end earlier this year."
I''d bet an entire stick of RAM on it.
A stick of RAM? I fold.
The sad part of it is that Trump will use this to further clamp down on dissent, regardless of who and why.
He was going to anyways regardless if anyone does anything. It's why the whole "Peacefully protest so he doesn't have an excuse" is so misguided. He doesn't need an excuse.
Trump has the mentality of a rapist: he's gonna force himself on you regardless of what you think, do or want. The whole "avoid provoking him" thing is victim-blaming.
Of course. He was counting on something like that happening
Some, although surely not all, of all the noisy violence that go with things like "Operation Midway Blitz" is to try to instigate things like this to happen.
“God bless our Great National Guard, and all of our Military and Law Enforcement. These are truly Great People,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I, as President of the United States, and everyone associated with the Office of the Presidency, am with you!”
What a disgusting piece of shit demented rapist.
Weird. This is what he used to say.
Well that’s definitely part of it, but he’s using his office to divide people. People “not associated with the Office of the President” don’t like them at all according to his piggy face.
It’s about twelve different kinds of wrong.
Also: "The animal that shot the two National Guardsmen ... is also severely wounded, but regardless, will pay a very steep price". Lol until they discover he's a white Republican, then he'll just mysteriously disappear from public discourse, just like the trump assassin and the Charlie Kirk shooter ....
Conservatives before (and after) it's inevitably revealed that the shooter is a right wing nutjob:
But Hamas... we mean gay liberals /s
Last week, about 160 of them volunteered to extend their deployment until the end of the year while the others returned to West Virginia just over a week ago.
Interesting...
160 soldiers made an excuse to not see family over the holidays, I get that feeling
When the people who signed up to get shot at get shot at
People don't join the national guard to invade somewhere and get shot at. The national guard is supposed to be protecting people at home.
Whoopsies! We kinda threw that out 20 years ago and never fixed it!
That’s not true. You serve both state and federal. I was in the NG. I did two tours in Iraq and a Bosnia peacekeeping mission. The NG gets deployed federally all the time.
Remind me, who's homes are these out of state national guardsmen protecting, because it isnt their own
That's what I'm saying. If you signed up to defend and then got assigned to invade DC, getting shot at in DC isn't what you signed up for.
Then maybe they shouldn't have invaded DC
Following orders and dog-like obedience is exactly what they signed up for. Getting shot at for following orders is a risk they proudly take.
Last week, about 160 of them volunteered to extend their deployment until the end of the year while the others returned to West Virginia just over a week ago.
Seems they were volunteers at this point in time.
Well at least we know the Nat.Guard wasn’t following any illegal orders, right?
That's not the national guard's charter.
and nothing of value was lost.
