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!

And then he’ll put homosexuals in it. And then he’ll put political enemies in it. And then he’ll put citizens that talk bad about him in it.

Are you suggesting that someone whose favorite book is a collection of Hitler's speeches is going to follow Hitler's methodology? I dunno, kind of a stretch.

Weirdly, it seems like he's reversed that order. At least so far...

Well, what would you do if you were here? A lot of us are living paycheck to paycheck or worse. There's no central resistance to join and nobody's giving out free weapons.

It's so easy to talk shit when you're not actually in the shit.

Pick up a rock, grab a stick, and have numbers. Do you really need us Canadians to come down there and set fire to the White House for you again?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

That's big talk coming from someone who never had to actually do it.

I guess Canadians don't have jobs or bills to pay or people depending on them or health issues or deportations to death camps or anything that makes being an American a struggle right now.

Must be nice to be a jobless trash talker on the Internet. I'm just trying to survive.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Right, Americans are special and have families and jobs! Nothing at all like every other revolutionary in history who risked nothing and didn’t have to worry about their safety.

Don’t worry, keep your head down, I’m sure someone will be along to save you any day now.

If I were you I would start prepping cause this ain't gonna stop in the united states, we will take everyone down with us

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I have ZERO doubts that Americans will fail to handle this and in doing so make it the problem of everyone who told you this was going to happen for 30 years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Yes please. We're trying, we're in the streets, but yes please.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Sounds like you have a lot of Americans with nothing to lose. I thought standing up for yourselves and doing a big important rebellion is the the thing you’ve been loudly taking credit for for centuries. Or was that just some ancestral stolen valor bullshit?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Well you know how germans were collectively implicit in what happened during WW2? This will be you Americans if you don't do something (Even more so as we have internet now and you know whats happening). And don't get me wrong, it's an absolute shit place to be in and not easy, but that doesn't change the Situation.

And soon, not just immigrants. If your neighbor goes missing, be a human and look after their pets.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Be a better neighbor and start building hiding spaces in your walls now.

So that's what he does when not cheating at golf on one of his own properties funneling (even more) taxpayer money directy into his pockets...

He saw a guy on TV that would be perfect for the camp leader:

I hear they are going to call it Camp 13

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Is this Hogan's Heroes? Never seen it, but the idea of a sitcom set in a Nazi POW camp has to be one of the most insane things that was ever approved to be put on TV.

I just looked, it had six seasons. Wild.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Good! We SHOULDNT Rely on other Countries in ANY WAY SHAPE FOR FORM (like for Trade or Security or Investments!) UNLESS it's for Prison!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

It’s not inconceivable that foreign nations will use the USA as a sort of dumping ground for undesirables - if they can be reliably pipelined to CECOT in El Salvador, it is a way of laundering humans. Of trafficking to the point of disappearance.

rwanda was boris johnsons favorite destination for deportees.

Expanding*

The US had had them for decades.
