For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

Private security dragged out a woman who had been interrupting a Kootenai County Republican Central Committee legislative town hall in Idaho Saturday as Sheriff Robert Norris stood by, spurring a disagreement between the sheriff and Coeur d’Alene’s police chief over the First Amendment implications of the incident.

Multiple video recordings of the incident at Coeur d’Alene High School show Teresa Borrenpohl, who ran for Idaho’s House of Representatives in 2024, 2022 and 2020 as a Democrat, seated in the auditorium as boos and cheers erupt around her.

This is a lawsuit that the taxpayers are going to pay heavily for.

sadly, the Idaho Neo Nazis have it factored into their hate budget, and don't mind paying, as long as the pain and fear continue

If 30 protesters showed up? How many private security guys did they have? He thinks he's smart by ordering the private security to do it and avoiding the first amendment. I could be wrong, I guess we'll have to see.

Dunno what the downvotes are for. I have never visited Coeur D'Alene, but Idaho has a serious problem with violent white supremacists and most people seem to have no idea.

I'm ok with that.

Judges won’t hear the case

Then more protesters have to show up to support her.

The police chief (not the sheriff), doesn't seem to agree with you. He high-tailed it out of there. lol

Politics are always scary the closer they are to your hometown.
