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!

It shouldn't be possible to deport citizens from their own country. Why is there even a discussion?
Why is there even a discussion?
Because it's happening right now...?
Does anyone have a link to the amendment? Or to the votes that were tallied?
The website seems to just link to the budget bill. If this were devs discussing a change to a repo, you'd have links to discussions, the code in question, related technical specifications... not just a link to what a dev said on Twitter and a link to the repo.
I don't know enough to parse the bills / their process, but I know enough to not care about what they say happened on Twitter.
Let's write tough talking cope comments
Now they’re going to start kidnapping whoever they want to send to the EL Salvador concentration camps. Trump told bukele to build more prisons because he was sending home growns next.
Deny, defend, dispose
Detain, deprive, deport
The expectation is that they are going to go for US POCs next is that right? I don’t hear people talk about it so I don’t know if I’m the only one who sees it this way.
At this rate, they'd accuse Schwarzenegger of being a "RINO Democrat WOKE Feminist" and deport him.
Make every Republican fucking terrified for their life.
We should treat people wearing maga-hats like someone wearing a nazi armband. The outfit is a threat.
And I know if we get through this, there won't be any judgement. People will just be like "oh that's in the past let's just let it be", and people won't pay for their crimes, and the roots of this problem won't be ripped out.
I liked when the swazticas were carved in people’s foreheads in the movie inglorious bastards. I think that would be fair….if we ever regain our democracy
I propose "K", as in "Krasnov", or "KKKonservative".
They're more afraid of MAGA than they're afraid of ordinary citizens. Nothing will change until it's the other way around.
It’s not deportation if you’re cast out of your own nation. It’s exile.
Wish we could deport them...
To Mars.
That seems quite wasteful, impractical and unnecessary. Deporting them to a volcano would be better. Or we could appoint them as ambassadors to aquatic life.
I'm no expert but throwing that many virgins into a volcano might be ill advised.
Ok... fuck them, too
I'm curious as to why the Democrats were shocked at the vote.
They weren’t. They needed to get them on record supporting a horribly unpopular position so they could use it in the midterms. You’ll see a ton of votes that go nowhere like this that are just fodder for election bids.
The outrage is performative. But no one is shocked by this.
Yup, they have their part to play in the Bread and Circus. Incidentally, Super Mario Brothers is a great game. Many like to play Mario, but the role of Luigi is often overlooked.
Luigi could jump the highest of all the playable characters in Super Mario Bros 2. He was always my go-to character for this reason. Those egg flinging dinosaur fucks be damned!
Why don't you play Luigi then? Right.
That should be more of an American pastime.
I don't know about you, but hypothetically if I were to want to play Luigi right now... green pipes don’t just lead you to the castle anymore, they’re empty! and the Koopas are laying low. Playing Luigi is strategic, you just need the player to recognize when it's time to play him.
Right. Luigi jumps high. No point in playing Luigi if jumping high doesn't actually net anything. Gotta play Luigi when the extra jump height gets progress.
Yeah, it's so unsurprising. It's why I believe the US Demoractic party of today is, at least to some degree, controlled opposition. I don't like this theory, but I cannot see a more rational explanation for their behavior. They've been letting the Republicans walk all over them for years. Why?
They are controlled opposition. At this point in my life I don’t care how it comes across to make such a claim. They are just as corpo as the republicans. They spend more energy killing anything remotely good for working class people, more effort on killing anything even remotely resembling a left of center within than fighting against a party that has been circling the fascist drain for decades. Corey Booker is a microcosm of the party; all performative grandstanding in the moment with not only inaction but counter action of what the performance was meant to invoke and/or inspire. Don’t worry though. They still have your email and will ask for a paltry hundred dollar donation to FIGHT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION come mid terms. Democrats are the Generals and the Republicans are the Globe Trotters. Trump spins a ball on his finger and everyone just gawks instead of playing defense.
Oh look the cosplay constitutionalists are at it again
Your daily reminder that it's not just Trump. The entire GOP is to blame for this.
And why they have to lose every election going forward so that they can disband and re-up under a new name like in the past.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it be designated as a far right terrorist group. That's what they are now. They aren't Republicans. Theyre Nazis
Unfortunately I don't see that happening without a major US war and major election reform. Otherwise they have like half-ish of the population at least semi-supporting them, and half the population is not likely to peacefully get labelled "terrorist".
True, but frankly the other half of the population isn't ok with being designated as disposable, so ...
Trump is but a symptom.
Mafia Don Mangolini is much more dangerous than just a symptom.
More like the willingly staged celebrity figurehead.
It's what he lives for.
The chump is happy to be ensconced in the political spotlight and take all the credit for what's happening while the even worse destruction is carried on behind the scenes off camera and "behind our backs" by those that are much more savvy and capable.

Distracting them with symptoms keeps the system in place
