    “To attempt to politicize this tragedy is absolutely unacceptable. This rhetoric from elected officials is beyond dangerous and incites even more violence,” Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin said on the Senate floor Monday.

    It is incredibly frustrating that “political” has become a word so divorced from it’s meaning that someone assassinating members of a political party, for their political affiliation, due to demonetization of that political party by the political party of the assassin, can not be a “political” issue.

    Luckily for him, deleting those posts also means that it deletes our memories of those posts, and it’s like he never posted that at all. Right?

    Not even Trump was stupid enough to do anything but condemn those killings. If you’re a politician and condone political assassinations, you condone them for yourself too.

        He’s a big time Mormon in a Mormon state. It’d be more surprising if he hasn’t.

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:

  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.
