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!

The other side already sends death threats and is calling for a war over a conviction against Trump by a jury of their peers. I dunno if I'd be that concerned about their take on hypocrisy.
When Republicans make a concerted effort , they call for violence against their opponents. When Democrats do it, they write strongly worded letters.
That's not true at all.
Today it is.
And how is that?
Topic of this thread: 1000 formal complaints against Eileen Cannon, as part of a concerted effort.
News about the right:
Trump blasts his trial judges. Then his fans call for violence.
After Trump’s guilty verdict, threats and attempts to dox Trump jurors proliferate online
Death threats to judge and jury: Inside the Maga meltdown after Trump verdict
And in the other cases:
Georgia steps up investigation into threats against Trump grand jurors
Georgia investigates threats against Trump jury (BBC)
E. Jean Carroll testifies she lives in fear of threats from Trump supporters
We've heard today about Trump supporters looking to murder the judge and the jury in that case, but in this other case liberals just fire up their word processors and direct reasoned legal analysis to the proper authorities.
Except that's terrorists doing terrorist things. If instead they were filing thousands of formal complaints against judge Merchan, that would be different.
Well, as you see, they prefer doing the terrorist things.
Sure, but why not just be better than them in every single aspect we can be? How about we let Jack Smith do what he's obviously trying to do and not do bullshit like this.

It obviously did nothing good. It only makes us look bad. There was no way this would ever go in our favor. You're using the excuse of they did bad stuff so we can stoop a bit also. How about not?
