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!

Looks like they moved from the DNC to the Israeli consulate:

200 protestors, 72 arrested.
At least that makes actual sense.
Yup. Protest the people actually doing the thing you hate.
The united states is just as culpable as israel
No I think the person who fires the gun or drops the bomb is far more culpable than the person who gave them the gun/ammo/bomb.
The person supplying the weapon still bears responsibility and guilt and is culpable. But they are not as culpable. The actual murderer is always the most culpable and the most guilty. Those who aid the murderer are culpable and guilty too, but far less so.
What if the person gives him the gun, tells him how to find his target, watches him kill, and keep killing. And whenever his gun runs out of ammo he helps him reload it. And whenever anyone tries to stop the killer, this person prevents it because they are the biggest and toughest guy around?
Yep, still then. Culpable, but not as culpable.
Nope. Israel is misappropriating US support.
And the US is still giving it. That argument would work if we actually stopped giving them aid, but we don't.
How are they misappropriating the use of those 2000lb bombs? I doubt they work well as defense
And we watch them do it and continue the support.
We know what we're doing.
Moreso. We have the Intel from sources both in the sky and in space. Our govt is feeding Israel the targeting data. Supplying the weapons. Hell, we're the only thing keeping the whole country's economy afloat.
