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!

I'm generally against large prison sentences, but he deserves life. He was attempting to deprive all Americans from having a say in our democracy. It's not like he was just hurting himself, or even just a few people.
Sold!
Life. Without parole.
A 10mm to the skull? C'mon. A 9mm would work just fine.
Sorry y'all, I got PTSD from that day, can hardly talk about it without crying and screaming. Can't look at pictures, let alone a 30-second video. Suffice to say, I'd pull the trigger myself and feel nothing.
I think you need to get off the internet for awhile.
You got PTSD from something you saw on TV so I'm gonna go ahead and suggest that literally killing a person would probably fuck you up pretty bad.
Of course it would? I am well aware.
Perhaps this should be a sign not to advocate for the opportunity
Made an example of.
Comically-short prison sentence aside, look at the bright side: at least the PBS headline is actually admitting it's an "insurrection" instead of downplaying it as a "riot."
It's now a legal finding or fact of law or whatever the term is. Anyway a court said it's insurrection so that probably unclenched the sphincters of news editors a bit.
Still pretty dystopian that they're too cowardly to state the obvious without legal cover...
PBS isn't a rag, but rather a news source. News sources should be objective. You can find endless commentary online about how shitty these people are.
Calling Jan 6 an insurrection is stating an objective fact. It was always stating an objective fact, even before the court ruled on it.
It was always stating an objective fact, even before the court ruled on it.
This would be irresponsible reporting when discussing an ongoing criminal case, however.
3 years. 3 YEARS?!? TREASON IS 3 MEASLY YEARS?!? what a shit justice system
A sentence this light probably means he gave up info on someone even more important.
It's the second paragraph on the post.
Look at this nerd, actually reads articles.
Meanwhile Trump's threatening to kill us for existing, and he's who they were fighting for.
Justice.
Insurrectionist in Chief is still campaigning.
Give this piece of fascist shit the guillotine.
So much wonderful news coming out today!
sucks to suck traitor! Just think, with good behavior you could be out shortly into Biden's second term!
It has been said before but:
Fuck around and find out.
Too bad his sentence doesnt have a 0 on the end, fascist piece of shit.
The judge said Donohoe seems to be doing everything in his power to make amends for his crimes.
Oh? Is he planning to commit seppuku?
Glad that it happened, but it taking three years is absurd. This guy walked as a free man for such a long time. Can't see it taking as long if he got charged with having a bag of shrooms, probably it could've got him a longer sentence too. But if he cooperated with authorities, maybe it means more charged idiots in the future? One can dream.
