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.

I'd say it's one of the very, very small reasons I'd want Trump to be in office.
So that this asshole can whine and beg about not being pardoned and his name being dragged through mud by the alt-right.
Because you sure as fuck know in his head, he's righteous and naturally the law won't apply to him.
Defense attorney Amy Collins, who sought a sentence of 6 years and six months, described the government’s sentencing recommendation as “ridiculous.” “It makes him a statistic,” she said. “It doesn’t consider the person he is, how much he has grown.”
Dempsey has been jailed since his arrest in August 2021.
I get the feeling 3 years in jail had everything to do with that "growing"
The assault conviction stemmed from an October 2019, gathering near the Santa Monica Pier, where Dempsey attacked people peacefully demonstrating against then-President Trump, prosecutors said. “The peaceful protest turned violent as Dempsey took a canister of bear spray from his pants and dispersed it at close range against several protesters,” they wrote, noting that Dempsey was sentenced to 200 days of jail time. Dempsey engaged in at least three other acts of “vicious political violence” that didn’t lead to criminal charges “for various reasons,” according to prosecutors. They said Dempsey struck a counter-protester over the head with a skateboard at a June 2019 rally in Los Angeles, used the same skateboard to assault someone at an August 2020 protest in Tujunga, California, and attacked a protester with pepper spray and a metal bat during a August 2020 protest in Beverly Hills, California.
Guy is an absolute menace
I feel safer with him behind bars.
Imagine how much he will have grown 20 years then! Maybe he won't be a traitorous piece of shit when he comes out
This article doesn't seem to mention it, but I believe it was this guy that was flashing the "OK" hand sign to people that the fascist groups started to use as a sign of white power.
Edit Found it.
After receiving the sentence, however, Dempsey -- as he was escorted out by the bailiff -- made a hand sign in the air that is commonly associated with "white power" or the white supremacist Groyper movement.
Meh better to not platform these idiots taking a totally normal handsign
Website sabotages the back button, scummy
Otherwise wonderful news
Well that brightens my day :)
Fuck that guy.
One less voter to worry about
And yet they still haven't arrested the mastermind.
Trump led them to this and he hangs em out to dry
Wow. That is a very long one for sure. I do get why though.
Ha ha.
