Apparently the FBI and IRS are very interested in it. Between falsely filing as a 501c3. Conspirwcy Against Rights. Then there's the Chinese IP linked to the whole thing so foreign agents.

Those fascists got some 'splainin' to do.

Those fascists got some 'splainin' to do.

One can only hope so.

First off: am European, not American. So this is an outside view and I'm not directly impacted, however US policy both national and international historically has a lot of influence on us.

It's kind of refreshing to see Biden take the gloves off against Republicans. They're fascist clowns that don't feel bound by any rules and conventions. Their hypocritic calls for unity went out the window as soon as Harris announced her bid for president and they felt like they can't use the momentum of the assassination attempt anymore.

The political climate that has been building to the last 10 years - even longer behind the scenes - is unfortunately only possible because the US moderate doesn't push back against the intolerant. The tolerance paradox in action - but you have to understand that these people lie in your face and argue in bad faith.

I don't know Harris and Waltz' political history well enough to predict how their term will look. However, there needs to be a move to the left. The current issues in the US stem from inequality, both in wealth and in social standing. It needs to be made clear that if you are against a peaceful and just society for all (referring to ethnicity, abilities and identity, but not ideology), you have no place in society. And that's a long way to go. And don't stop just because some racists are cops.

Even though stated as facts, all of these are just my opinion. I hope it makes sense, English is not my mother tongue

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!
