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!

One man with a gun, and nothing left to lose.

Watch your back, Rubio.

Shit, this perpetual foreigner had better watch out for his own party.

One minor slip up and his Hispanic ass will be deported by Trump's racist border czar.

He doesn't have the same SS protection as the president and VP have does he?

(yes the SS is intentional as opposed to USSS)

Obviously the wrong ones, as he is still there to announce it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

He will be sent eventually, too. He's brown, after all.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

The people who should be sent there are the ones sending people there...

Disgusting.

That adds another 10 floggings and lashes to the list of public punishments for the Fascists.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Sent to a Concentration Camp. Call it what it is you ball less bastards.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

thank you!
i’m so sick of people saying “deported” to this place too… it’s not deportation to send someone to a life/death sentence in a concentration camp, even if it’s in another country…

the nazis loved euphemisms too…

What should I put on my bingo card for the “reasons” these folk were abducted

So far I’ve got:

  • “;” or other mental health awareness tattoo
  • song lyrics tattoo
  • literature quote tattoo
  • medical procedure tattoo
  • surgery scars
  • no criminal record is evidence of criminality
  • tattoo of family member(s) (name, image, or other representation)
  • tattoo from a video game, or comics
  • no tattoos
  • something something hamas

Some sort of Chinese proverb.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago

Rubio sounds like a last name a gang member would have.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Voted 99-0 in the Senate.

Good job, Democrats. We know Republicans were pieces of shit, but the reason Democrats' polling is in the toilet is because of stuff like this.

What vote are you referencing? Rubio's appointment?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Feels like a beta test running the first few laps that will go on to expand on colors plus job descriptions and whatever other minute details that would further this agenda

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It would be so poetic if once all is said and done all MAGA leaders got sent to El Salvador as punishment. Oh how blissful I would be to learn of that.

Its funny because we see him again and again turn on his supporters. They do one thing out of line and he goes after them as much as his most ardent opponents. Moreso really.
