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!

Cool. Biden is currently President. So there won't be any delays in calling in the National Guard.
How many Ashli Babbitts will it take to put this fascist uprising down?
That's the part I don't understand.
He's not in office, so he can't delay any response.
Hell, if I were Biden, I'd have a plan ready with my cabinet (sec def, sec state, sec home sec), my joint Chiefs of staff, secret service, etc. Also have the governor of Maryland have his Nat Guard ready too.
Biden himself is safe at the White House. But I would imagine they will be more concerned securing the Capitol building.
You think gop speaker Johnson is even going to call congress into session that day?
Funny.
Article II Section 3!
For those who didn't know (like me):
If Johnson doesn't gavel in the House, Biden can force them to do so. Though I don't think it likely for Johnson to not have a session, because their plans hinge on ignoring legitimate electors under the guise of "irregularities".
If about 20 of them had been willing to die they could have busted in behind Ashli. Last go round she was the only one interested in taking a bullet for Trump.
She probably had no idea getting shot was a possibility. It wasn't until she got shot that her cohorts realized they were in deep shit.
Bullshit. They were literally there to kill the sitting VP and anyone else who wouldn't rig the election for Trump.
You're talking about the people who showed up with zip ties and a gallows. Ashli Babbitt showed up wearing an American Flag as a cape. She thought they were pulling a patriotic stunt. Anyone genuinely there intending to kill flew Trump's flag, not the US flag.
im guessing she still did trespassing though?
Shit's still a crime unfortunately for her sorry ass.
Propaganda's a hell of a drug.
what flavor we talking?
They only got that far because Trump was in charge and ensured security was soft.
With Biden in charge, the national guard will almost certainly be ready and waiting, and it won't matter if 20 or 2000 Trumpets are willing to die for him
On the plus side, if they insist on pushing things to the point where they get mowed down en masse, that's fewer morons and assholes to vote Republican next time
