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!

Donald Trump’s base is at each other’s throats after the GOP suffered crushing defeats in contests across the country on Tuesday.

In the wake of the GOP’s beatings in Virginia, New Jersey, California, and New York City, MAGA has descended into a blamefest, arguing over whether Republicans had failed to mobilize enough voters or if internal fighting and other strategic missteps were to blame.

Some even faulted Trump, accusing him of prioritizing foreign affairs over problems at home.

Maybe but if they do manage to win going forward the absolutely must not let any one off the hook for all this bullshit.

If there is literally no witch hunt for the people responsible for all Trump's bullshit it will just happen again. All time ICE agents need to be made to think twice about what do because "just following orders" should not be a viable excuse.

You know, I bet they fumble this in the name of "unity".

I would love for Democrats to gain enough seats to both impeach and convict.

I think that's the only thing that can save us at this point.

We need to impeach Trump, Vance, Thomas, and Alito at the minimum.

We need to also pass a law that removes Thomas' and Alito's votes from any case they sat on.

All of their writings need to be stricken from the legal record. Not destroyed, but just redered legally null and void

Holy shit, I'd love to see that. I wish there were ways to reverse any pardon that came from this asshole as well.

Also, we'd need to get Bannon, Stephen Miller, Noem, Homan, Patel, Bondi, Gorka, Roger Stone, and I'm sure many others I'm forgetting right now into the pipeline to prison, ASAP. All of those fuckers are/were doing illegal shit and need to pay.

I agree. We have been letting things slip massively all millenium and we need to get back to individaul rights first and the government is expected to, yes, shocker. put in more effort than they expect from the people to do things correctly.

Perhaps, but you're assuming that old-fashioned Democrats won't be swept out of office too.
