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!

His account is horrific. The media can not and definitely will not amplify this enough. I believe everyone else should.

I still believe the original plan was for him to be killed before he could be returned. Too many spotlights on the case prevented that from happening.

Ngl

I'm surprised the feds haven't Epsteined him.

He doesn't have any leverage to make it worth the risk.

And he’s just one of many sent there, most are still experiencing this.

But don't worry. Soon we'll have facilities in the States where this can happen too.

They have already awarded a $250 million contract to build a 30,000 bed facility in Guantanamo.

For context Guantanamo currently houses up to about 250 people. The average maximum security prison hold 800-1200. The largest prison, in Angola, LA, holds about 8300. So the new prison in Guantanamo will hold almost 4 times as many as the largest prison, which is already several times larger than average.

This facility will be on foreign soil (Cuba!), far away from the prying eyes of the media, the courts, lawyers, protesters, family, etc. If they were illegals, they'd be deporting them, so who are they planning on keeping here, and why?

Also, I've been tracking this development since he first signed the executive order for it several months ago, but I've never heard a single journalist in any media mention it, or ask any member of the administration about it. Most Americans aren't aware of this in the slightest, and the media is helping keep it that way.

My only hope is that, if Trump is bragging about Alligator Auschwitz, that the Gitmo has been slow in building its facility.

It's in FL and it's about to open for business.

Punch a Nazi is soon going to become Punch an American.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It should be punch a white American, after asking if they support MAGA. Don’t punch POC americans please.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Nah you'se can fuck off with that racist seppo nonsense. He had 48% of the Latino vote, 15% of the black vote, 40% Asian, and 46% of women. All of those groups voted more for Trump in '24 than in '16.

The problem is Americans not rising up, don't #NotAllAmericans it.

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

It always was.

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

I think I'd be changing the punch part, and not the Nazi part
