Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) warned that President Donald Trump's tariffs could result in the Republican Party being wiped out in both the House and Senate.

    Do you not think it’s a little hyperbolic to claim that every single member of the Republican party is a Nazi deserving of only death?

    I mean, sure, it feels great to sound like a tough guy on the Internet, but you’re talking about tens of millions of Americans.

      I 100% believe in what I said and so do the mass majority of Americans.

        The mass majority of Americans absolutely do not believe in putting to death every Republican.

          I said Nazis. You said republicans.

          That’s a confession

            Read up. The person you responded to was warning against celebrating the death of all Republicans. You responded with something about your grandfather taught you the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. YOU are the one that first equated Republicans with Nazis.

            Also, I’m a leftist, you tool.

              Man, when people can’t tell the difference that’s bad for them isn’t it

      I understand that you feel the conclusion is disturbing. Can you elaborate on what part of their reasoning is confusing?

        I suppose the part that leads to mass murder.

          Do you think it’s murder to kill a Nazi?

            I believe it is justified. But I’m not going to dignify the question of “is it murder to kill a Nazi” with an answer.

              But you’re the one calling it murder.

                You didn’t think it is?

                  1. So you’re not disagreeing that they’re Nazis.

                  2. And you don’t disagree that killing them is justified.

                  3. But you’re unwilling to dignify the question you just asked with an answer.

                  So absent an honest answer, it looks like you’re bringing up legal semantics to make killing Nazis sound bad.

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:

  1. 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.

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.
  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.
  5. 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

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!
