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!

Just over nine months after President Donald Trump returned to office and pardoned his supporters who stormed the US Capitol, one of the Republican’s top aides suggested that federal law enforcement may arrest Democrats standing up to the White House’s anti-migrant agenda, including Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Asked about the administration’s willingness and federal authority to arrest the…

Listen to 5 minutes of this shitstain show his true beliefs when he goes off on an angry rant and you will see how simply true the phrase "Stephen Miller is a Nazi" rings.

California state Sen. Scott Weiner (D-11), one of the Democrats running for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s seat in the next cycle, said: “They’re now explicitly taking the position that state and local elected officials are committing crimes when they attempt to protect their communities from the ICE secret police.”

This is the stage of fascist coup we are at in the US.

Yes, he is very disturbing and it's incredible that anyone wants him anywhere near power.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 14 points 1 week ago

No one wants him near power. But only people like him seek power. So it's more of a sampling error. The majority don't have the time/energy/resources or desire to seek power. We just want to live our lives. While complaining that there's never anyone like us to vote for. Simultaneously being held back by the dumbest most hateful quarter of us.

There we are again... any remotely threatening statement against the administration is antifa terrorism, but threats against state and local officials are freely given from this administration.

Almost as if they are hypocritical on purpose. Thus, they muddy the waters enough to convince the layperson everyone is doing it

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 26 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Fucking do it, pussy. Let’s see the backlash.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

This shit is getting out of control. I don’t think people understand how close we are to a full dictatorship. Some would say we are already there, but there is still time. Once a dictatorship is installed, the only way from it is assassination…. It’s also a great preventer… just saying.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Oh, some of us know. And some of us are sick of the edging.

We’re going there, inexorably. They’re trying to pretend that’s not what’s happening, and loads of people are happy to go along with it out of… denial? Blissful ignorance?

But some of us just wish they’d drop the fragments of their mask, already, so we can stop debating where we are in the 14 steps and just fucking deal with the problem.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

And assassination usually just results in the next most ruthless psycho becoming dictator. The only real way out is a mass movement, which the dictatorship will do everything it can to make almost impossible.

This is why at every protest I talk to folks shaking my head that 90% of the populace is not out here. None of this is ok.

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Cannot wait to see the day Stephen Miller gets slapped by justice and thrown into prison.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Yes. More so than even the pedo-in-chief, I would so love to see so many of these side-kick thugs in prison - Bannon, Gorka, Bondi, Noem, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and especially Miller.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 days ago

Every time I hear about that whiny bitch named Stephan Miller my blood runs hot with indignation. He is the exact type my ancestors would dump for trying to break deals already signed just so he didn't have to pay for cargo, the type that festers due to modernity who think historically they'd have done better rather than getting shot at the age of 16 for being a shit heel.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 14 points 6 days ago

I don't have time to follow him around but if you give me a time and place I will stand between pritzker, one of the best governors illinois has had, and the piece of shit stephen miller.
