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.
- 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.
- 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!

Roberts thought he could collect money from the glory-hole of fascism and corruption and never get any cum on his face. Now he finds out he's just another ho down on his knees for Trump and Musk. Watch Trump have the Supreme Court arrested.
odd choice of metaphor
Watch Trump have the Supreme Court arrested.
He won't have to. A little bluster and Roberts will bend the knee and kiss the ring.
I'm sure Trump cares deeply.
You know, this is interesting.
Trump has power, but it's granted to him by authority of Congress. He has legal immunity for official acts as president, by authority of the supreme Court.
The theory of the balance of power means that Congress can strip him of that authority, and the supreme Court can determine if an act is official or not or if he actually has immunity or not.
The way this works is based on money and sanctions (imprisonment, revocation of clearances, etc).
The court can deputize anyone. Ultimately, what that means, is that as long as the court wishes to retain its power, it needs to enforce decisions.
If the Supreme Court, namely Roberts, actually has his own interests in mind, the court can act accordingly. Otherwise, it's just theater.
We will now find out if the court still wishes to maintain its power, or if it has none at all.
When even the chief clown of the institution that gave you even more power thinks you're going too far, it might be too far.
I dunno what to tell you, man. You reap what you sow.
That only happens when people make it happen. Karma's a myth.
Sadly, for the most part, the rest of us reap what he sowed. He’ll be fine.
Leopard eating faces all over the place.
Can I interest you in my new investment venture? It's essentially Kitty Ozempic. We're predicting the market for it to grow by 8000% over 4 years because of all the fat leopards.
“He didn’t WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn’t WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he didn’t WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties,” Trump wrote, referring to his own accomplishments of those benchmarks in the 2024 election. “HE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING!”
Oh for fucks sake, just shut the fuck up already. This is all you're going to say each time you feel wronged. It's not a mandate you stupid fuck and you lost the popular vote twice.
“WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
And the irony is lost on you.
He did win the popular vote this time. Not by much. He absolutely does not have a mandate.
Popular vote 77,302,580[2] 75,017,613[2]
It is all projection.
Time to reap your whirlwind, you som of a bitch
A bit of buyer's remorse from Roberts haha
On both sides, seems like. Trump regrets Roberts, Roberts regrets Trump.
Perhaps it's starting to dawn on him that his power as a judge is under threat.
Leopards would never eat a judge’s face.
Not without some au jus for dipping.
Good thing you just ruled that the president has broad immunity for official acts as president, ya know basically making him a king in all but name.
Really wish Biden had taken advantage of that and, you know, saved our democracy.
Biden was never that person. He was always a risk-averse institutionalist non-boat-rocker. Even Obama was more decisive.
Well, there's no way anyone could have known that Trump would abuse that power.
Other than the past decade of him abusing every little bit of power he could, of course.
Trump seems like a reasonable guy, im sure he would never abuse that power.
Trump seems like a treasonable guy, im sure he would ~~never~~ always abuse that power.
Hey Roberts - go fuck yourself.
