Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

They. Do not care. About the law.
Why does this keep needing to be said?
If it isn't news to you, why are you saying he hasn't been vetted or doesn't have security clearance as if that's relevant?
Which other people? What power do you think they have?
And who do you expect to restrain them?
And yes, America is over. It is a fascist dictatorship now. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you will stop expecting this to be fixed by any sort of government or legal opposition which will never come and hopefully actually start working on trying to do something about it yourself. Like taking to the streets when you can.
Got it, Nazi Germany did not start out as a fascist dictatorship when Hitler was named chancellor.
I think you've got a lot of historians to write to and inform them about this.
I said nothing about defeat. I said the government opposition is not going to help you. They are puppets now.
I agree. Suggesting that fascist dictatorships only begin when people are being shot for protesting is a gross oversimplification.
You're entirely correct, but the person you're talking to isn't ready to understand or accept what is being said. I see you all the time fighting the good fight, but I think you should move on from em.
💕's 4 u 🦑
You can't take to the streets. Otherwise there would be people in the streets.
Because it's the root of the problem and is important to be repeated constantly.
Congress took an oath to defend the Constitution. Let's see who cares.
Congress also has specific authority over making laws and allocating money. You’d think they’d have the self-interest to protect that authority from whatever baboon tried to take it, especially an unelected one
When has congress ever cared about that oath?
My guess is that a lot of people don't realize or accept that the game is already over and the constitution is as good as shredded. A lot of people think that if only one person would put one in his brain case or vote him (Trump and Elon by extension) out, we could return to normal. The Republic is cooked, we're right now, as a society, deciding what happens next.
Considering the person I'm talking to thinks that fascist dictatorships start when protesters start getting shot, I think that a lot of people don't even understand that it's a possibility, let alone that it's happening.
Maybe it’s the way we keep saying it. Have we tried alternate punctuation such as: They. Do. Not. Care. About. The. Law.
Maybe this helps
Nothing helps. I've had someone argue with me vociferously that U.S. elections still count and then finally said they aren't even in the U.S. so this doesn't affect them so they aren't worried about it.
