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!

The voter stealer wants fix elections to prevent further vote thefts. Irony.

Here we go. I guess congress Rs will bend, while the Ds just hold signs again. Thanks america, I hope this is what you wanted. Now bend over and spread those tight cheeks.

This will get shot down faster than there can even be controversy. Founding fathers would be rolling in their graves, and there‘s no way the Supreme Court can squeeze that kind of interpretation out of the Constitution.

That being said, it may give some state legislators cover to go with it.

I wish that were true

[–] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago

Oh you sweet, sweet summer child.....

This has been a GOP wet dream for years. States and GOP legislators are going to cram this through by any means necessary. The Supreme Court has used medieval text from completely other countries in order to justify rulings and have openly said precedent doesn't mean shit to them. These people will cram this through and smile while doing it.

Trump is doing this to distract media attention from the biggest fuck-up of his administration so far, and there's been a lot.

[–] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My first thought too. The timing is just too perfect.

My second thought? This means that Trump's team probably has executive orders just waiting in the wings, since they know how this all works. The only thing needed to supplant even awful news cycles are even worse news cycles.

My third thought? This means every time Team Trump royally messes up something, our only reward will be Team Trump doing something even worse, because it's the only move they have, ever.

Until we're all dead by their or our own hands, presumably.

Oh. Ok. I'll sit down then. Not like he'd actually do anything this time.

Right?

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Yes perhaps we should first require military communications required everyone involved be identified and verified, hmm?

the biggest fuck-up of his administration so far

The biggest fuck-up of his administration this week.
His administration is a scandal factory.
They will fuck up and make a mess, and their solution is to make a bigger mess to distract from the one they just made.
What about the bigger mess? Well I guess they'll just have to make an even bigger mess to cover that one up.
Rinse and repeat.

Hear we go guys. Hold the line!

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Huh? We are presented with a choice between doing something and the end of democracy. Way I see it, its the system's fault for putting bad choices in front of me, and the choices are, uh.. equivalent, according to my internet sources. Maybe I'll sit it out again.

/s for the gifted triggered ones
