    Simply being an inadequate excuse for a man wasn’t enough. He had to shout it loud and clear

    Bet this guy is a felon and can’t even vote.

    Also, see his wife sitting there chewing her finger?

    She’s epically pissed and is voting Harris/Walz

    As a general rule, a yard sign is an indication of the sentiment of the individual/neighborhood and not a major factor in influencing whom other people are going to vote for. By contrast, watching someone come into my neighbor’s yard and tearing up signs is a highly polarizing/motivating force for otherwise apathetic or undecided voters.

    Of course, if you’re in a neighborhood that’s full of very openly hostile political opponents, it might not be motivating in the way we’d hope. A bit like someone shoving a burning cross in your yard. Its as much a threat of future violence as it is an act of petty vandalism. A guy caught on camera doing this shit is motivating for the neighborhood, certainly. But police inaction when this guy is reported is its own kind of red-flag.

      Police actions, or inactions, are almost universally red flags.

    “It’s not a crime!”

    Narrator: it is.

    “I’m the victim, the older woman assaulted me! That’s assault and battery!”

    Narrator: he’s not, she didn’t, and it wasn’t.

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!
