    It’s a shame real ICE didn’t abduct and deport her in a case of mistaken identity.

    Don’t give them the attention they’re desperately seeking.

      Outrage is only useful if it leads to accountability and consequences for bad action.

      Boebert and MTG have a very good sense of what their base likes and dislikes. They may frequently cross lines of decency, but they don’t cross any of their base’s lines. As such, outrage just gives them free publicity and makes them more popular with their people and nudges the perception of norms towards them. These people need to be starved of attention. Don’t feed trolls!

        But nowadays outrage is just currency. It drives our news, our conversations, our parasocial relationships, our politics…outrage is being used to drive the fucking economy in some ways. So there is no more outrage leading to action, because we have been overloaded with fake outrage and trained to see it as normal.

    Republicans are racist, the pope is catholic, the sky is blue, the earth is round… blah blah this is all things everyone already knows. Thats why she did it, to signal to her base that she is an irredeemable POS just like them.

    Brave of her, especially since this administration holds that her appearance is probable cause that justifies kidnap and abuse by masked thugs.

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!
