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 man needs to die. There's no sugarcoating it.

... Vance is even more of Musk's stooge. Hypothetically speaking you'd have to trim the house down and then those two.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

He is now Peter Thiel's stooge but it's just as bad either way

What do you expect from the Orangutan who said Hitler “did some good things”?

The parks were clean and the trains ran on time. Trump can't even get that right.

That's awesome, thank you. I didn't even know that it was a Mussolini reference. I thought it was a reference to Nazi Germany's cargo trains full of human cargo, and the parks being empty and clean because many of the usual park goers would end up on a train too.

I just keep feeling like, "What the fuck are we going to do?" Any resistance is too spread out throughout this gigantic country. What should be happening is our military arresting him like South Korea's did with their treasonous president.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

South Korea's government managed to successfully impeach and convict him first, though.

Trump has been impeached twice (which is already unprecedented for an American president), but it failed both times because the bar to pass is 2/3 of the senate voting to convict, which simply cannot happen while Republicans control half or more of the senate.

Oh, they'll turn eventually. And then we will have VP Pence and Project 2025 still happening. It's part of the plan. The president building his own insurgent army is not.

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 week ago

They may not. The modern Republican Party operates as a patronage machine, and the patrons like the idea of squashing the rest of us.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Takeaway: There are no civil rights under Trump.

Didn't need those anyways.... /s
