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!

I really hope we're even allowed to have an election in 2026.
My Spidey Sense tells me he'll start a war in the next 12 months then get the Supreme Court to side with him on postponing elections during wartime, and then we'll stay in a permanent state of war afterwards.
No. A presidential election has never been postponed ... EVER. There were elections even during the Civil War.
Trump can try this route to stay in office... but he will not be president and his wartime rule will only be as strong as the guards around him. He will become a domestic threat to the Constitution if he tries to stay in office unelected.
Uh... The dude already tried to stay in office unelected. That's what the Jan 6 riot was. He faced no consequences, and then got elected again.
Didn't stay in office tho
We will see if the guardrails hold again.
If he stays in office one day past his term he is automatically a threat to the Constitution.
That would mean violence becomes a legal and necessary option.
By that day the constitution will just be another piece of paper he wipes his ass with. Now is the easiest time to resist and stop that future, not once it's already happened.
Big talk but nothing well happen. He's been trouncing on your constitution gor the last year and nobody has done anything. For all the bluster if Americans that's all it is.
The military basically removed him from power quietly after Jan 6 and worked with Pelosi to do the transition
Got a sauce for that?
Nope. When I said quietly, I meant it... This got very little media attention. Also, search is pretty much dead at this point, I can't find shit I read a week ago - there's too many results around Jan 6 no matter how specific I query it
But essentially, the top brass created a voicemail for trump, there's a bunch of deleted texts between the military and secret service, and then Trump was conspicuously absent during the handover process
He keeps trying to start a war. Other countries see it for what it is and mostly ignore it. Iran, Venezuela, and now Nigeria.
As long as the choice is a binary option between red and blue i wouldn't be much concerned about the government taking away elections
My money was on Trump to start a war with Iran in March or April 2026, so things were ramped up before the elections. If the expected wartime popularity bump happens then just win the election, otherwise cancel then due to war reasons.
But I guess it's looking more like wat against Venezuela or possibly Nigeria? 🙈
