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.

@Beary: You're welcome.
Everyone else- you're all guilty of blatant stereotyping. The admittedly stupid evil comments of a single state house rep do not represent the core values of tens of millions of conservative voters. Only a tiny fringe would actually endorse such a thing.
I'm done trying to sound smart. "Clear" is the new smart.While it may be cathartic to rage over dumb legislation proposals, what do we actually gain from it? Even with things at the worst they've been, most of this stuff will never make it to debate much less a vote.
Wanted: a tracker website for these which lets you know if You Can Panic Now.
Something's odd right here...

The red states get called Dumbfuckstan for a reason.
Also with all this talk about Comey being fired and it increasing the chances of Trump being impeached, the Alt-Right and Right-Wing nuttjobs are already calling it a coup and are having talks of starting a civil war or engage in domestic terrorism over their Blunder Fuehrer being kicked out of the White House.
The Alt-Right dipshits are just too much of a bunch of over privileged spineless cowards too afraid of getting out of their basements and spend 5 minutes away from their circlejerk websites but the right wing nuttjobs, as stupid as they are can be a threat, specially if someone tries to attempt another Oklahoma city bombing.
