    “I’m not an election denier, number one. Number two … I went to D.C. to watch the president speak for his last time,” DiGiovanni said in a conversation with TPM on Wednesday. “Joe Biden’s obviously the president. … I’m not a conspiracy or whatever tinfoil hat guy. I’m just a regular guy. I’m not an election denier or any of that.”

    So did he just break into the Capitol for funsies? Come on.

      Yeah. If you just went to the Jan 06 speech and went home, fine. I mean it’s shitty you supported a guy preaching a coup but not engaging it said coup is kind of the bare minimum to not be considered a traitor.

        Yes. Break.

        But I’m sure I’m being paid to post fake pictures of things that never happened, right?

            I’m sure, but it doesn’t hurt to post some evidence of January 6th crimes.

        It’s almost like crimes are crimes, even if everyone is doing them.

        Finally someone says it! I mean, cmon! Whohasn’t broken down a window and entered through it uninvited when visiting a neighbor, family or friends. For god sakes, if breaking and entering is suddenly a crime in this country what’s next?

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!
