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!

The rabid Congresswoman that did the alleged assaulting:
Contrast with these softies got their asses handed to them
This checks out!
She body slammed one and threw the rest off the prison roof like when Undertaker threw Mankind off the cage in that Hell in the Cell match.

“God almighty! God almighty! As God as my witness, he is broken in half!”
That man had a family!
Honestly makes me miss ShittyMorph
Wait what happened to Shittymorph?
For the unaware, u/ShittyMorph was once a prolific redditor, who was a mainstay on the website, so much so he became the beta testers for tips on reddit. While haven't been on reddit for years, I do fondly remember most of the interactions he had with people. I don't think I'll ever forget how he donated his kidney to someone who was there in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
Bah Gawd!
Fascists are the biggest cry bullies.
Now this is a SLAMming I can get behind. Get SLAMMED, idiots.
Assault includes things as simple as unwanted touching. Not all assault is body slamming someone. Spitting at someone is assault.
Yes however someone said there was body slamming. Still waiting for the footage
By the politicians? I’d love to see that so hopefully if it exists it comes out haha
My point however was that the “rabid congresswoman” absolutely could have assaulted the police.
But sure, she could have by strictest definition. No disagreement. Cops could have stayed on their side of the fence too though, never allowing Grams to body slam.
She'll get around to it once she finishes finals week
Glad we agree that little ol’ Grams is capable of assault.
You're missing the fucking point. Nobody is disputing that there might have been assault. Congratulations on winning an argument that you were having with your imagination
I swear, some people are such a stickler for the rules. UM TECHNICSHUALLY A FINGER TAP COULDVE BEEN ASSAULT. Missing that the point is basically to call the cops a bunch of pussies for even thinking of pressing charges against an old woman, who wouldn't have been able to actually do any damage to them. Like bro, are you gonna press charges against a baby for kicking you in the hands while you're changing their diapers? No, you're not.
Battery. Assault is threatening, battery involves physical touch, no matter how light.
No, Assault includes threatening, but also can be actual physical touch no matter how light. Battery is more often used when there is physical touch, but Assault can be too and is still the correct term.
