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 Vice President of the United States of America has literally said the ICE chud is owed a "debt of gratitude". That's after it was clear that he murdered someone.
And you think he won't be specifically protected as a signal to all other ICE chuds? The guy is set for life. They have to make sure he is. Otherwise it's going to be a lot harder to convince them to kill people when they're specifically asked to.
Yeah stupid people say stupid things, what exactly about that is new or surprising, moreover what does it change?
They can protect him from federal charges but not state ones or they would wipe state sovereignity and all the big guns and fun weapons are on the coasts.
What happens to this guy is going to set the time for how ice behaves from here on out.
Sure, I don't disagree but Peter theils bitch isn't in the know or calling the shots, he's just a loudmouth puppet.
For sure, it just highlights that clearly they know that they are going doing to have problems if their little goons think they might get held accountable for their actions.
In normal times I’d agree with you 100%.
But these are not normal times.
It would be difficult for them to pull off even now, tell a bunch of South shall rise again types that they're throwing states rights under the bus and suddenly they aren't on their side anymore.
You forget, it’s a cult.
He promises.
They spout it off, live it, love it.
He 180’s.
So do they.
Yes it is, and Confederate creeps are a much bigger much older cult.
Oh in that case let's not worry at all, everything is fine!
🙄
No one said that in fact I said just the opposite, don't be obtuse.
I'm saying he won't be brought to justice. You, as far as I can tell, are saying he will. Where am I getting mixed up here?
Let's start with being "brought to justice", that's a fairly vague concept. I said he could be convicted in absentia. Done, that's where your confused.

The start of the comment chain for reference.
Yeah I think you're right. Personally I don't see the justice in being convicted in absentia, on its own.
Well justice is a weird word to use. Morality is more consequential when talking about convictions and people often conflate the two.
It's justice it's just not particularly moral justice.
