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!

Why? Just so Canada can treat him like a hero the way they do terrorist convicted by the u.s?
You’re going to need to source or elaborate on that claim, buds.
Omar Khadr.
Up here in Canada you can decapitate and cannibalize someone in front of a crowd, and you get a slap on the wrist, some pills and released into the public. Fuck our safety
Us Canadians didn’t treat Omar like a hero, we gave him a settlement for the shit he dealt with at Guantanamo Bay when he was fifteen.
Vince Li was schizophrenic and was in a high-security mental health facility for a while, responded well to his psychiatric treatment and gradually got his freedoms back.
So tell me how you feel a fifteen year old and a schizophrenic person relate to your comment?
If my ass had murdered people at 15 after joining a crime syndicate, I wouldn't be let out with a paycheck.
And I don't give a good god damn fuck about Vince li's "rehab". Public safety is more important. When you're off your meds and you murder people, you don't get to be out in society.
The kid was fifteen fucking years old and locked up in the worst prison in the world for ten years.
Fifteen fucking years old.
Vince didn’t know he was schizophrenic, he wasn’t off his meds he never was on them.
I’m glad you don’t make the rules because this world would be shittier then it is now.
Glad you're happy our money went to his terrorist family. And glad you don't give a fuck about the victims or their loved ones
That friends is the sound of son_of_dad moving the goalposts!
I thought you were worried about Canadians treating terrorists like heroes?
I guess Vince li just killed and ate nobody. And Khadr and his family were in a battlefield handing out flowers to soldiers
Clearly you don't give a shit, as awful as you are. But yes he did murder at least 1 person, a medic in fact. They should have put a bullet in Khadr 's head, save us the trouble. I don't feel bad for his family since they're terrorists (we handed 10 million to a family of known terrorists)
But seriously, fuck you for not caring about the people he murdered (and yes, pretending to be a civilian and blowing up a soldier is indeed murder).
Christopher Speer by the way, that's the victims name, not that you care you piece of shit.
That fool is advocating a bullet in a child’s head, they aren’t worth talking to.
I really hope you don't mean this guy
