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!

All I can do is laugh at this point. This regime is so buffoonish and so open with their intentions that I genuinely wonder how people fell for this shit and continue to believe it. Are we really this fucking dumb ?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Yes, very fearful too, but worse even: selfish, hateful and evil.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, we sit around and laugh about how stupid he is while he ignores the law and constitution to the detriment of the freedom of citizens and immigrants alike.

We are literally that stupid.

I want an extensive study done on the brains of maga supporters when this is over. I need to know what is going on up there that makes them act the way they do.

He is performing plausible deniability. Without saying directly yes or no, he is still open to the idea of not upholding the constitution. It is like saying "I can neither confirm nor deny."

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

-President Trump, just this year.

"to the best of my abilities" is the loophole here

he means he doesn't know the definition of constitution

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What does it take to get this guy out of office? Genuine question. We impeached this guy like twice but it didn't go through

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

A coffin is the only way. It’ll probably be easier to secede.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

A democrat majority in congress

And if your R's know that, they will never allow it to happen.

They don't care. All they care about is their in-group is strong and the out-group is punished. They're shitty people.

I saw a guy today with two bumper stickers. One said "Trump" the other said "I love the constitution". I wonder what he would say about this?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (4 children)

They don't really love The Constitution. They only like the first two.

Nonsense. He would say nonsense. Because they don't care. They care as much about sounding serious as they do about other people.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

As long as there's some undertone of solid racism in the administration, they won't care. That's all this has ever really been about.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

I'm sure he'd be very upset if he could read.
