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.

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!

It does? What did any of them even do?
They committed the grave sin of not being Republicans. :/
If you're Republican and vote against Trump they'll come after you as well. So better do what he orders or else...
It hasn't even been 100 years...
Good job, Schumer!
Looks like his spinelessness was rewarded with… revenge.
Still time for him to grab an Angstbrosche and make his membership in the Republican party official.
And they just gave him the funds to do it. Good luck America.
To which he will find them all guilty I am sure.

Moving closer to the mass arrests, concentration camps and mass graves stage every day.
America had the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison houses 800-1200 people. The largest, in Angola, LA, holds 8300. They are already building a new facility in Guantanamo that will hild 30,000, almost four times larger than the largest existing prison. The supposed purpose was to house the enormous number of undocumented they intend to arrest, but with the speed they are deporting, they dont seem to need such a large facility.
Who else would they want to detain on a remote base in Cuba, far from the prying eyes of journalists or the courts?
If it's only 30k, it's not big enough for that kind of plan. They would have to build a lot more, a lot bigger and a lot faster for that kind of plan to work.
Only 30K?
Its still nearly four times larger than the largest existing American prison, which is already 8 times times larger than the average prison.
Clearly they have larger plans for incarceration than any previous administration.
You're right. It's still very fucked up whatever the plan. It's just fucked up in a different way than I would be expecting. Not sure if it's the Nazi plan with incompetence or something else entirely.

But are Chuck and his money safe?!
He's not even a top 10%er...
His books need to be okay. He sold out America but he’s going on a book tour.
Hopefully he meets a really big fan on his tour!
🤦
Fuck Trump and his little revenge tantrums. If I had a superpower, it would be to appear out of thin air, slap him at will,and disappear. I would do that over and over and over.....
You might consider grabbing him, teleporting over a volcano, letting go, and teleporting away.
How many slaps until he heats up to a nice medium-rare?
Like...a gentleman's slap, or a Hulk slap? Some people would be offended if it were the former.
The scene from Men in Tights when Robin slaps the sheriff with a metal gauntlet!!
