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!

MODERATORS
Majority opinion written by Clarence Thomas.
Clarence "Uncle" Thomas.
Reality really is stranger than fiction sometimes.
Society tends to repeat on approximately 80-100 year cycles. Just long enough for the generations affected by bullshit to lose their voices and die.

Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me???
What the fuck America? Honestly. What the actual fuck has happened to your nation.
Exactly what it looks like. Fascism is raping its corpse.
we’vr had sleeper cells of nazis and bootlickers on “both” sides of the aisles for a century or so because they’re all actually aged capitalists. When capitalists feel like their quality of life and profit is threatened, by labor or technology, they will work toward two things:
Moving the overton window in small steps as they test the waters and then implementing actual fascism in the waters where their tests succeeded.
Notice the areas with martial law are not really big on public ownership of guns or understanding of castle doctrine? That’s on purpose.

We never had a true democracy and that fact is coming around to bite us and everyone else in the ass again. We don't have Christian denominations anymore, we have sports teams. We don't have politics, we wage culture war. God damn bless america... I fucking hate it here
The us was never wholly good. Maybe 3/5ths good, at best.

Just when you think, it couldn't possibly get any more absurd.
Wait. There are still people who doubt this timeline's consistently proven penchant for exponential fuckery? Are they one of those no-contact tribes? (Although, I've always wondered if those tribes were as much isolationist as "nah, fuck all of your world -we're good.")
I was just thinking this! They’re bringing the meme to real life.
It was never a joke. Nazis are truly this stupid.
Wasn't this already decided when they ruled that stop-and-frisk laws were unconstitutional due to racial profiling?
Lol. You think this court cares what happened in 2013?
Only if it happened in 1862.
The court doesn't give a fuck about anything but being corrupt at this point.
Why respect precedent when you can just make a new one and get bribed for it?

Dear Supreme Court: you don't need to. They can't.
Dear Congress: impeach Trump. If someone blocks you, impeach them.
Dear MAGA idiots: shut up and grow up.
Yeah, feels a bit too late for that. This isn't going to stop until the non-fascist Americans drag them out into the streets and dispense justice. People are going to die and the good guys are going to need to organise a whole lot first.
Can I pay taxes on “apparent income”?
Oh joy.
This court. Deciding if cops can openly be racist.
I wonder how they will rule. Lmao.
Finally, ICE (and friends) can get new uniforms designed by Hugo Boss.
There's a tree somewhere that needs fertilizing.
So, where will that leave Puerto Rican people? Puerto Rico is part of the Untied States but the people look foreign
Sometimes, I don't even know why the state option is popular in Puerto Rico. It definitely is; they've had two official but non-binding referendum on this in the recent past, and the statehood option was a clear winner. Won by good margins over both maintaining current status or going independent.
Ultimately, I think it should be up to the people of PR to decide what they want to do, but geeze, this isn't a great time to join the Union.
To be fair, they're already part of the Union whether they want to or not, it's more a matter of if they get to have political representation or not.
Are you saying they are experiencing taxation without representation?

Come one man, you know where because it's already happening.
Puerto Rican? Mexican.
Mediterranean? Mexican.
Native American? Mexican.
We have the whitest populace cause of jail.
Dude, as an Asian American I've had quite a few times I've been called a Mexican.

"SCOUTS reconsiders lynching"
-Clarence Thomas
Don't forget his title: uncle
Wow, I really don't have any confidence they will get this one right.
Why do you assume incompetence when evil has seemed more appropriate since pretty much forever?

How is this even a question?
For the same reason old white men can debate their authority over woman's body. Murica.
Hey now, don't forget Clarence Thomas. He's worked very hard to be as evil as possible. Sometimes old black men can be racist in their own way.

Can't wait to share this with my Latino friends who voted for Trump.
Guys, that is a reeaaaallly slippery slope. Don't. Just don't.
-A concerned German-
The slope is vertical. We might catch ourselves before we crater, but I don’t have much hope.
How is this even up for debate? It's like we went 100+ years in the past 🤦♂️
We know how this is going to go with the court's record lately. It is just Trump's lapdogs jumping when he tells them too.
I wonder which way they will go...
Supreme Court to rule on if ICE can be openly racist?
