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!

Good. I hope that sends a message to the rest of the MAGA terrorists out there, but I doubt it.

Another instance where the prison system is used as a warehouse for the mentally ill.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 17 points 3 hours ago

Well this is true, At least they shovedsomebody in there that fucking did it. Unlike the likely innocent people they've killed recently, or the one that was exonerated and is still in jail I believe?

Ha, fuck you. Enjoy prison.

As if the US would ever imprison someone so rich.

edit I was talking about Elon I'm so high I thought I was on another post.

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Who are you talking about?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Oh shit I was in the wrong tab. I thought I was on an article about Elmo for some reason. My bad.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

No no, keep cooking.

Tell me more about jail for Elon Musk.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Can't we just Capone him and catch on tax evasion somewhere?

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 22 points 5 hours ago

Now he can hang out with his idol Trump

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 13 points 5 hours ago

At least some of MAGA gets normal consequences for heinous actions.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 hours ago

Good. That’s where he belongs.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

good, and I was also expecting more of these types of sentences for the insurrectionists.
