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!

This isnt fuckings news.. this is the farthest thing from relevant and important as one can get
Publicly showing this is important. Hopefully this article comes up every time they apply for a job, or appear in public.
Has anyone started to link them up to their real names and addresses?
It'd be nice if some company would start offering services to do background checks on people for hateful comments. Oh, I'm sure there would be lots of butthurt about it, and people rearing up on their hind legs, barking out some shit about "rights" and "freedom", but if there are private companies issuing FICO scores on things like private purchases, etc....why the fuck shouldn't something like that exist?
If companies are doing background checks into your finances, why not about the shit you say, even if it's been leaked?
Geezus... im sorry, but yer an idiot.
Showing this doesnt do anything. Guess what, people know that many people are absolutely terrible, harping on it only gives it more strength and spreads more hate. And you can't stop hate with hate, it doesnt work that way.
Also, im sure you have said some shit that you wouldn't want to admit to. I know i have. I think 99.99% people have said regrettable shit. Let us let people change. In fact, forgiving someone's past is exactly how we help a person change. Go on though, keep hating, keeping hate/unforgiveness will make a person physically ill. Love
Holding someone accountable is not hating.
I never said it was, also, thats what you think this is? This is not "holding someone accountable"
Right!? We should be talking about that racist asshat Charlie Kirk. A day to remember that hate begets hate and that people have to die to protect our gun rights.
Im gonna a prayer for you tonight stranger.
Don't forget Charlie, you can send prayers down as well as up.
Definitely, prayer to/for the dead can be of value, in this realm and the next. And Charlie is absolutely Definitely in heaven, thats how it works.
Lord, thank you for our martyred friend Charlie Kirk. He brought truth to young folks dying of starvation of truth. We dont know why you let such evil befall such an undeserving person, but your ways are higher than ours. Bless his family and let his message be even louder than ever and reach more young folks than ever. Bless the shooter. Open his eyes and let him see his errors and may he become a new creation in Christ. Thank you Lord for your love. Amen
Dear Lord please punish Charlie for his sins against humanity. You may not exist, but if you did you would rain hellfire down upon the diseased organization known as Turning Point. An organization that created right wing hate propaganda dividing God's people along imaginary lines. There is no greater sin as to other and dehumanize people.
May Charlie's children learn the truth about their hateful mother and father and disown them before God. Only then can they join the imaginary kingdom of heaven.
May you turn the hearts who have been poisoned against their fellow man, in particular the hater and propagandist Soktopraegaeawayok. He knows not what he does and there is still time to save his soul from eternal damnation. I ask these things of you in the name of our made-up lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Lol, multiple times you admitted that you dont believe God, and mocked Him. Your empty words are only that, empty.
But I do sincerely pray that God will move in your life and that you will see truth. Amen.
Dear imaginary Lord, I pray to you to intervene right now in this hateful troll's heart. He denies you are imaginary and all your made-up glory. Please help him see the truth that you do not exist.
He knows not what he does because you never gave him the ability to think critically or examine his own beliefs. This is clearly your fault imaginary father. Every time this poor human prays they are only praying to their own empty ego.
I do sincerely ask that you work on their heart. Just as you did on mine helping me to see everyone has lied about you. The truth will set him free from the shackles of his own creation. Please imaginary lord and father do this so that they may find peace. Amen.
So, I haven't read your last comment and im not going to, its pointless chatter and im sure youre trying to be insulting. Love you brother. Be blessed, God loves you and wants you to turn towards Him. This could be your turning point.
Please made-up lord, act on this troll's heart. He knows not what he does for he has been deceived and lied to by his fellow man. His heart is full of lies which he masks with insincerity.
He pretends so hard he has a connection with you, but the truth is he is a hollow hater devoid of spiritualism living a life of blasphemy. Please imaginary lord give him the pity he deserves for no man can see the truth under the illusion that you exist. Amen.
