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!

Phoned in bomb threats have never been credible since the IRA, but they were actual bombs that they wanted to actually warn civilians about. In any other case the officials in-charge of responding to the bomb threat by cancelling the event should be fired.
Ah yes. When discourse and negotiation fail, harrass and threaten. How dare they have a contrary opinion?
Tarrio should be in a Supermax.

Should start doing that to their conventions, see how they like it.
Well it's a crime so if you wanna risk a trip to prison, good luck. I'll be cheering for ya. From waaaaay over here though.
Fuck I can't believe they did this to this convention if it was a crime. Do you think they knew that? If only they were super liberal smart they might have not done this if they knew the danger
I think they're saying the anti-Trump conservatives should call them in on other conservatives.
Prepaid phone, buy with cash, hoodie, sunglasses, face mask, don't walk like you normally do. Non-internet connected car. Don't take phone with you.
Also if a credit card is absolutely needed buy a prepaid card with cash. Use a public computer somewhere to activate it. Also get one of the card that does not ask for personal information.
Put a pebble in your shoe or something that'll make you naturally change your gait.
don't walk like you normally do
Gonna show up doing one of these:
Pretty sure this catches a bigger headline than the event itself.
