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!

Anyone else feel like we've returned to some era where people in positions of power no longer get punished? What the hap is fuckening?
We never really left that era, they were just good at hiding it for a while.

Condemned? Arrested.
If only
The Ohio secretary of state’s office said it did not plan to take any action. “Our office has determined the sheriff’s comments don’t violate election laws,” said Dan Lusheck, a spokesperson for Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose. “Elected officials are accountable to their constituents, and the sheriff can answer for himself about the substance of his remarks.”
Apparently threats and intimidation don't count as long as elections are involved.
Apparently ~~threats and intimidation don’t~~ no laws at all count as long as elections are involved.

What a chickenshit response.
Great, so it’s up to people of good conscience to spend their time organizing to raise money and awareness in order to try and hold this sheriff accountable for voter intimidation. Instead of, you know, law enforcement. Wonderful system.
And this is why popular vote may not be a good way of choosing a sheriff. It produces some truly awful pick me candidates who are more interested in political power and grandstanding than serving their office.
Without a strong code of ethics backed up by the law people can get away with a lot of bullshit.
This guy should resign and if not then disbarred for his conduct. It boggles my mind that elected officials have no oversight. Instead he will probably face no repercussions for othering people and denigrating his office.
Honestly I would prefer it be an appointment but every election there should be a confidence vote where if at least 50% of people don't approve of them they get barred from office
That is an interesting proposal. I think we should spend a lot more time kicking around alternatives and then trying them out.
Surely the people who want these positions of power are rarely the ones that should have them.

This redditor claims his department is also harassing people after doubling down.
Will I be banned for posting his address? He is a public employee so it's publicly available data
Posting where to find that information will probably be OK.

Please tell me “condemned” is new slang for fired.
Nope, he'll probably be re-elected by a landslide
The most depressing thing about the last 9 years or so, apart from climate doom, is discovering that fascism turns out to be extremely popular.
Is it illegal to just leave one in his yard that mysteriously replaced itself?
Genocide types like this absolutely have cameras watching their yards
Only if you get caught

Ohio revised Code Section 2909.23 - Making terroristic threat
(A) No person shall threaten to commit or threaten to cause to be committed a specified offense when both of the following apply:
(1) The person makes the threat with purpose to do any of the following:
(a) Intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(b) Influence the policy of any government by intimidation or coercion;
(c) Affect the conduct of any government by the threat or by the specified offense.
(2) As a result of the threat, the person causes a reasonable expectation or fear of the imminent commission of the specified offense.
(B) It is not a defense to a charge of a violation of this section that the defendant did not have the intent or capability to commit the threatened specified offense or that the threat was not made to a person who was a subject of the threatened specified offense.
(C) Whoever violates this section is guilty of making a terroristic threat, a felony of the third degree. Section 2909.25 of the Revised Code applies regarding an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violation of this section.
R.C. §2909.23
. . . just sayin'.
Rules for thee, not for me!

Fascist piece of shit. Also, I hate this fucking ridiculous argument they take up - that people that support immigration have to put them up in their houses, personally? WTAF?
I'll accept that if people who vote against abortion access are banned from having them
No. Voting against abortion means they must now house, feed, and maintain legal responsibility for all children who would have been aborted, through adulthood.
in my experience police do not like it when you dox them
it is especially true with secret police and ex police
i am disappointed that the photo is not accompanied by the address.
I'm not interested in doxxing anybody, because I don't believe in terrorism.
But I do think this sheriff would feel very differently about having his home address tracked and shared.
He could literally be any one of the "Bruce Zuchowski"'s listed on the Inerwebs as living in Portage county Ohio.
There's just no way to know!
Yeah, an equivalent response would be for a government figure to tell the public to record these judges addresses for making the decision to call it a non threat. Which of course would be threatening.

Oohhh... Condemned... Absolutely no teeth
The entire sheriff's office got removed from providing security at a voting event. It's not actual election day stuff, at least not yet. But the city did send a message
Someone should write down his address and fill his yard with shit
Send all white homeless Americans there.
For both law enforcement and magas I see the same thing over and over --
What? People think we're awful? Those people don't know us. By the way, I'm just gonna be over here being awful.
This guy managed to do it for both aspects of his personality.
Mommy, why is that awful man like that?
Because he chose to work in law enforcement, and to turn off his brain. Not necessarily in that order Bobby, not necessarily in that order...

Setting aside the racism there, what exactly is the right's obsession with Kamala's laugh? I've heard "Cackling" as well.
Should I be inspired to hear that lord and savior Donald Trump never ever laughs - assuming that's even true?
Laughing Hyena
That's racism and misogyny, all bundled up into two words. The cackling thing is what they say when they think a woman isn't meek enough. They particularly say it about women in positions of power, especially if they have the nerve to look happy.
