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.

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!

Meanwhile a couple of links down on my feed there's an article about one of the Heritage Foundation guys claiming most political violence is committed by the left.. 🙄
The projection never ends..
It's tiring dealing with these dipshits. Brainwashed dumbasses.
Yeah, it isn't great for my mental health, but this is the most important election in history, and I have to fight until the end
I mean they can't aim for shit so...
Comment has been reported to TPUSA report center
Oh man, if he’d have gone for Charlie he wouldn’t have missed
Definitely wouldnt hit that teeny tiny face though.
Sorry I couldn’t hear you, there’s a tampon in my ear 👂
For people who oppose cancel culture so much, suddenly it’s not so bad when they can use it to their advantage.
You are mistaken my friend. They oppose anyone but them using cancel culture, just like everything else. I'm sure their motto is 'if you can't win, cheat!'
Man, trump can’t even take a bullet let alone a joke.
I live in Canada, so...
Give it your best shot? At most, I'd lose an ear so...
And people mocked Jack Black for canceling his tour.
You can't put on a good performance while also putting your audience in danger.
These people need to be locked the fuck up for death threats. It's very, very simple.
Because kowtowing to the American Nazi Party is obviously the right solution
This is just so glib.
I mean I get your point. I even back you to a degree.
But you're calling out a popular entertainer for not wanting to put on a show - which requires a support staff, venue, and audience - while now having to think what nut might be in the audience waiting to take a shot.
MAYBE this shit is already stressful enough for Jack without worrying about everyone around him and how that extra stress will undermine their performances as they do this shit night after night for the entire tour.
But no, tell him he must go on. It doesn't cost you shit. You don't have to live with the stress of it all.
Yea, I get it, but this shit is exactly what gives these people power, and emboldens them to continue to do it to others, both more and bigger. It got to this point specifically because the people who can stand up to it chose not to, and so now if you so much as make a comment about these fucks in an attributable space it's expected that they'll make credible death threats and bomb threats, maybe even blow up a building, who knows. And it's your fault for saying it, because I mean look at the way you were talking. Practically asking to be murdered.
Fuck that.
I'm not saying you're incorrect, but it's easy to be principled when it's someone else in the cross-hairs.
Victim blaming is wrong, but boisterously inviting danger is stupid.
I don't care about the cancelation of the tour, but him saying he iced all projects with Kyle does not sit right with me
If they were friends like Jack claims, he would say something like: "I know him very well. It was a joke in poor taste, but it was only a stupid joke in the spur of the moment. " instead of distancing himself from the heat
I haven't heard enough, tbh. Maybe I just missed them. I'll try to keep an ear out for new ones. I'd give a shot at making one, but I think the joke would not land.
P.S. To my FBI agent: This is an attempt at humor. Please text me back, bro.
My favorite I've heard so far was "this is the one time I wish a politician leaned further right"
Lol, I'm in danger.
How did Trump know that everyone was talking about his political campaign?
His ear was burning.
He was within earshot (not my original)
When the fuck are people gonna start ignoring the pearl clutching by the right? Anyone who says "so much for the tolerant left" should get the shit beat out of them.
They'll of course equally condemn the "second amendment people" comment and Paul Pelosi jokes, right?
What's wild is the bullet went in one ear and out the other without doing any more damage.
❄️
Shouldn't have missed this pig skin, reptile, child molesters, Cheeto Mussolini.
"Fellow pedophiles, lend me your ear"
while Trump sells assassination sneakers?
I just feel bad for the bullet. I can't imagine the shit it went through.
Who's joking? He's a fascist, pedophile rapist piece of shit It's a god damn shame he missed.
Republicans need better aim.
I've seen country bar bathrooms before. Trust me, it's not just bullets they miss.
They miss Trump, they miss toilets, they miss the Confederacy...
Trump assassination jokes have been going on since Trump was President 5 years ago... it seemed like it was only yesterday that Depp talked about killing Trump and Griffin held up a severed head of him...
