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!

Mark my words, the military will overthrow local government, someplace. The administration will declare the city "failed," and appoint a private corporation to govern.

This already sort of happened in Texas where the state claimed that cities like Houston had "failed school systems" then appointed right wing toadies to run the district. In several schools they eliminated libraries, replacing them with Discipline Centers. They also make life hell for teachers or just fire them outright and replace them with unqualified ideologues.

The Republicans will definitely use that same process to deprive state and local governments of their autonomy.

A corporation? California will be renamed, “Kirkland” or “Wal-World”, and we’ll all have to get new drivers licenses.

Walt Disney would be fucking fuming right about now. Had he just lived 70 years later, he could've had his privately owned "Disney-State"

Democrats waiting for that other shoe:

they are too busy doing nothing and wishing they were in power so they could have the chance to do nothing to avoid this and do a genocide

In this scenario, the upstairs neighbor is a millipede. Several shoes have dropped. Many more will follow.

Hitler calls in the Wehrmacht to support the Brown shirts. This shit needs to end now. Trump’s fascist regime needs to end now.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Hitler had the brown shirts, trump has the brown pants

There is nothing for them to do.

Wasting our tax dollars so Trump can pretend to be a strong man.

Blatant corruption and deliberate misinterpretation of law.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

believing that the US will apply its laws, is like believing in Santa Claus

All 3 judges unanimously rule in favor of Trump. It was an easy common sense ruling.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It will be appealed. It doesn't meet the standards of the Insurrection Act and is illegal.

The left should just take the loss and move on.

In the 30s the French should have taken the L and become Nazi occupied france.

is that what you're saying?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Such a terrible comparison. Trump won in Court because he is right legally.

Common sense tells me that no one was killed before the Ng showed up, no police force asked the Gov for assistance, and there are bigger emergencies in regard to property and loss of life that Trump’s admin has decided not to provide assistance for.

Trump just wants to swing his military like a big, prostatic penis so we can all see what a big man he is.

ICE agents were being attacked. California police didn't want to help. Trump not only have the right but also obligation to use the national guard to protect the ICE agents.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Being attacked? You know just a private citizen one on one can be attacked, but that doesn’t mean that lethal force is warranted. If ice agents were being yelled at and people were throwing tomatoes at them I would not consider that grounds for national guard involvement. And to be honest, unless you’ve got people shooting at ice agents I don’t even know that I would help even if I was the local police. I would expect federal officers to support their own assets in the field. So let’s get some context here who was injured how many and what kind of injuries did they sustain?

I think it’s interesting that on January 6 our nations capital was under attack and nobody thought the national guard was needed at that point…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Tomatoes? You definitely get the facts wrong.

The appeal Court has ruled in favor of Trump based on all the facts.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you find an article that you can post here that says the injuries were more serious than getting hit with tomatoes?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (17 children)

ICE doesn't need protection, they need to be disbanded and jailed.

If some dipshit in a plate carrier and a mask tried to kidnap me, I'd fight back too.
