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.
  2. 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.
  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

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!

Now give him the Hunter Biden treatment and watch the MAGA crowd start making excuses that family should be left alone.

Sounds like the Boebert crime family is at it again.

Is this the son that made Boebert a grandma?

In the kid's defense, he's a dad now and needs to get bread

"I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn't ask for," the statement said.

She did this by fostering a circus like atmosphere and trying to be Sarah Palin 2.0. I don't even know the names of any other Reps from Colorado, much less anything about their kids. She forced herself and her family into the limelight. Can't blame unwanted attention for being a shitty little criminal. I'd say bad parenting is the more likely culprit.

Sounds like he kinda did ask for it when he commited those 5 felonies.

I don't know anything about him, but I do feel sorry for him. She seems like a horrible person, and an even worse mom. Imagine having her as a mom, and then everyone around knowing her and most hating her. It's got to be tough mentally.

I have zero pity for her. She asked for it and chose to be a shitty person.

Wtf are identity documents?

Kid was probably used by the adults in his life that he thought he was supposed to look up to.

Adults are the people that make the fucked up youth. And those youth then become fucked up adults.

Different article I read said he was breaking into cars to steal insurance cards and registrations.

[–] ULS@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Sounds like something shitty parenting and shitty adults leads to. I've been close to shit like that. It's all about shitty parenting or who grooms the the kid. Parents let their kids get taken advantage of by the street or media they don't understand. Sadly because most people are very naive to how real the world. It sucks... It's really really fucked up.

It's like they feel that since the Democrats control the executive they no longer need to parent, and it works out for them

"My kid was was arrested for racking up fraudulent charges on counterfeit bank cards. THANKS OBAMA!" -Absent Conservative Parents

I miss that meme, the guy in that meme would've been a great scape goat, a shame he's just some guy. I would've voted for him in 08 over the man with his parrot for vp

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Those are rookie numbers for a republican. I mean just look at the presidential frontrunner.

[–] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

What a trash hick family. Makes sense they're republican.

[–] blahsay@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Time for his presidential run! Just get him to switch from meth to cocaine and find 'Jesus'.
