Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

There he goes, propping up stop and frisk again. Wasn't that a racist policy?
In some places, the relationship between cops and civilians isn't good? Understatement.

Do not obey in advance.@ kkhohoho26th: Unfortunately a lot of people hold this view. My father said that when one exploits a loophole in a law it is not the fault of the person using the loophole, but the government for failing to close the loophole. Mind you he used this to explain how his conservative ideology would allow me to be friends with the son of an immigrant mother form the DR who exploited US laws to get her son treatment on taxpayer dime.
I Bring Doom,and a bit of gloom, but mostly gloom.Oh man Trump is doubling down on his defense of Stop & Frisk.
I wonder if it's possible for him to get less than 0% of the Black Vote.

Any group who acts like morons ironically will eventually find itself swamped by morons who think themselves to be in good company.That would be an Epic Fail for sure.

Do not obey in advance.Stop and frisk is unconstitutional being fact checking depends on your definition. In my opinion, fact checking is when you pull up sources, when it's obvious this is just the moderator's own thoughts being voiced.

They're a Single-Issue Wonk to an extreme level, mostly. They want no gun legislation period.
