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!

This is fascism. No one is coming to save us.

You better act quickly because they're not wasting time.

Hey House and Senate Republicans. This will be you someday if you move against Trump. You've been worried about getting primaried if you oppose him, but the stakes just went up. If you have a brain in your head... I know, wishful thinking, but if you do, you will impeach him now.

Remember how the people who were going to hang the Republican Vice President got pardoned? The Republicans are too chicken to stand up to Trump. We'd have to give a majority to a different party to see any action taken, but I'm sure we'd rather bicker about foreign policy and a socialism Litmus test.

republicans created a monster

Well IM Glad we DIDNT Weaponize Justice when Trump was Convicted of 34 Felonies and After January 6th and after Covid and EVERYTHING else he Did! OTHERWISE this Exact Scenario might have happened!

When SCOTUS said that the President is "King" that was your cue Biden!!!

Remember when that dude missed shooting Trump in the face by inches...?

Fuck, man. Hope he's doing ok.

I think the commenter was hoping the senator is okay.

[–] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Oh, that tracks...

I mean, there's all these pictures of Trump, but not a single good shot.

[–] SoupBrick@pawb.social 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The encounter, and the image that quickly spread online of a senator being handcuffed in a hallway as a cabinet official held a news conference steps away, highlighted rising national tensions as politicians and others speak out against workplace raids and President Trump’s military deployments on U.S. soil. It came as troops prepared to mobilize in several states, and as the spreading protests against the administration’s immigration crackdown showed no sign of slowing.

Ah yes, that is what it indicates, rising tensions.

They're going to "objectively" cover the march to their own executions.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 1 points 1 day ago

They are getting the war they voted for.

  • IDF

Next time Noem speaks out of turn, do the same to her. But in all seriousness, if there’s another non GOP president in the future, he better be a left wing dictator who throws all these Magats in a gulag, otherwise he’s stupid.

How is it possible to disrespect a dog-killer?
