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!

What a bunch of jackasses.
Bet it was the same group that was pissed about protests at the Supreme Court Justice's houses, too.
In that same vein though do you think some of the people upset with this are the same ones that were happy with the protests at the Supreme Court justices houses? I’d wager yes.
“Both sides” have shitty, deranged people. In this case it’s these far right people. In the Supreme Court justices case it was the far left.
One of those groups are corrupt government officials and the other is citizens compelled by law to do their duty.
One of those groups is protesters peacefully opposing a public official. The other is seeking to harass and intimidate, possibly assault or injure, jurors. That's not turnabout.
Didn’t someone get arrested for trying to break in to the justices House with weapons?
I think you're confusing that with the Republican fascist who invaded Nancy Pelosi's home and attacked her husband with a hammer.

Not when it comes to fascists, no.
Calm down keyboard warrior. You are the only one.to.shut down free speech.

You’ve got the projection and cognitive dissonance turned up to eleven.
11 out of a 100 ain't so bad.
You couldn't get to 100 if your mobility scooter was pinned on full throttle.
Compensation and rationalization. C'mon. Your position is untenable at its foundation.
Be interested to see if you had such a cavalier attitude if you were one of the jurors now required to sequester for their safety or have armed police officers outside of your home so your spouse and children are safe while you’re off fulfilling your mandated civil service at jury duty.
Worse yet maybe you’re one of the law enforcement professionals who has their life forever altered because they have to use deadly force while on their security detail at one of those homes, protecting innocent lives, because some radicals thought it was “fair play” to leak addresses and names of innocent members of a jury.
But these are just my two cents, and with inflation we know two cents isn’t worth what it used to be.
Imagine how much it would suck to know that because you lost the jury lotto that there is a ground of about 10,000-30,000 honest to God full blown dyed in the wool wackadoos who know your families address and are posting on social media about how if you do your job and follow the law and it turns out that the Cheeto is a bandito and you say as much that they will seriously attempt to kill you or harm your family, and there's nothing anyone is going to do about it until after they act.
FML.
Death threats for citizens doing their jury duty and indicting based on evidence vs citizens practicing their rights and peacefully protesting. Is that truly what you consider fair game?
Ok, next protest’s at your house ;)
Awesome. I'll buy the beer.
Protesting peacefully is an important civic virtue, regardless of your beliefs, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
You protest government figures. You don't protest people doing their civic duty,
Edit: I thought you were that Momo guy. You're not. Point stands but any aggression is not aimed at you
No problem just watch out for.the booty traps.
No, that wasn't a mistake. If you slip up near dlgs house your booty will be trapped and tapped.
So?
