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!

Trump Goes Full Dictator With Bonkers Threat to Use Air Force and Navy in U.S. Cities
(www.thedailybeast.com)
The DNC has written a sternly worded letter in response.
Susan Collins is going to express deep concern about it... and that's it.
And vote to increase funding for it.
And get reelected because we can’t have the anyone less than 80 in the senate.
What are you talking about, I’ll bet her brow furrows harder than ever. Thats a true consequence in these united states if I’ve ever heard one.
Hey whoa I'm trying to be realistic. No need to get so graphic.
And a couple months after that "No Kings 3 protest planned"
“The US military is shooting civilians that don’t agree with the president. Is this the first step toward fascism?”
Yeah unchecked power without anyone restraining it tends to end up like that
I kinda hope he orders the Navy into Minneapolis. That'd be hillarious.
City of lakes and all, they'll send in the canoe division
The new aircraft carrier that’s decked out in gold- USS Trump. But it’ll be doing an evergrande impression before it ever gets into the state.
I'd rather see it do an Edmund Fitzgerald
it'd have to reach the great lakes first.
It'll still sink when they try to pull it out, though.
Stroke out already rapist pedophile syphilitic diaper boy
Where’s all the he didn’t mean it fuckers at?
Still all over the place and still claiming it's all just 'owning the libs'.
Just yesterday I heard a republican congressman saying "He's just trolling the democrats".
OOOO I've always wanted to use thermite on a navy boat!
I've been super curious how much thermite would be required to punch a hole from the deck through the hull.
Why wait, start now!
Navy's gonna have to battle the Crimson Permanent Assurance company.
It's all tax deductible
We're fairly incorruptible
