If the left were half as radical as the right says they are, we wouldn't be here.

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

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!

Yeah, sure... The "left" is shooting and killing imprisoned immigrants. You know, the people we are fighting to free and to integrate in to our society. That makes total sense. WTF?
The people we are fighting to free and at the very least get due process and basic humane treatment.
We have no idea how many of these people are actually already legal residents or even citizens at this point.
But yeah, that's fucking dumb.
Hey couch fucker...they shot ICE detainees... definitely another example of right wing violence being wrongly attributed to the left.
If the media would like to try harder than not at all to correct the record this time, that'd be swell...
Their propaganda instincts has trained them to start the blame game within .00001 seconds of a bad event happening.
So when is Air Force 2 scheduled to pick up the bodies, drape a flag on them in a coffin and hold a state funeral for them? These men died heroes and we need to pass a joint resolution in Congress immediately.
So what we know so far is that two detainees are dead and it's been reported the shooter was white.
Take the info how you will against vice president couch fucker analysis
This is some tricky shit to figure out. A "sniper" taking out detainees is either:
A) retribution for Charlie Kirk
or
B) MAGA nutjob hoping the Left/Libs will catch the blame.
An actual Left/Lib certainly would've included shots at ICE officers. (I wouldn't cry over that.)
Number two.
They're right wing pro ice which is why they shot detainees rather than the officers.
They sure like straining credibility with their base.
Their base don’t care, they just care that party said something so they believe it
Their base are drooling, low-life, fucking idiots with zero object permanence who scream Biden was a pedo whilst raping their 15 year old cousin.
The vast majority of them will fall in line.
A non-zero percentage of them are toeing the party line for the sake of solidarity/perceived winning, but are unhappy because it's bullshit.
Acting ICE director is calling the shooter a “sniper”, probably to paint the shooter as a “combatant”. Because they want it to be a war.
How bad of a sniper do you have to be to only hit detainees if your target is agents? Something doesn't add up here. Writing "anti-ICE" on your ammo is a little too on-the-nose and convenient, don't you think?
Shooting from the rooftop of a nearby building is pretty much sniping.
Strictly speaking, yes, but the word carries a "trained [pseudo-]military actor" connotation that "shooter" doesn't. The choices people make in the words they use are important to pay attention to.
I wouldn't personally expect our Elmer Fudd ass gestapo director to pick his words from a large dictionary.
If they would just stop letting men play womens' sports, then these poor down-trodden, forgotten, and left-behind white men wouldn't be so upset all the time.
Please add a sarcasm or facetious tag.
If you can't tell it's facetious, the get off the internet.
It’s hard sometimes with how many idiots are on the internet. Also being autistic it’s doubly difficult so a tone indicator is helpful
Imagine if Jonathan Swift used tone indicators.
The only reason I made the request is I received a mod report from people who didn’t realize it, and at the time, the votes on your comment were in the negative, so I was concerned it might continue to be misinterpreted. I thought simply adding a “/s” to the end of your comment would be an a win-win for everyone: you wouldn’t continue to be downvoted, and people that didn’t pick up on the facetiousness of your comment, would then be able to appreciate your comment.
I don't care about votes, but I'll be more mindful next time.
a facility that is typically used to process illegal immigrants after they have been arrested and before they are transported to a long-term detention facility.
They said they weren't going to hold them, they were all going to be immediately deported. We said that wasn't realistic and they said we were lying.
