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!

That asshole is just laying the groundwork for why he can “disappear” people and not bring them back. Maybe once they start disappearing white people the lazy American public will finally wake up. Of course by then it’ll be too late.
I don't think they'll even wake up then.
The Republicans won't care if it's white people, they'll just be glad they're getting rid of the "libs"
Yup.
Some reactionary asshole I know was saying that there are a lot of people incorrectly repeating that the "wrong people" are getting deported.
Despite the court records being absolutely clear that this is illegal (and we shouldn't be sending people to slave torture camps regardless of what they did).
Yeah. Plenty of Germans didn't "wake up" even when their Jewish friends and neighbours were being abducted and sent to concentration camps. 'Murrica is no different.
And the proof that these people are "barbarians" who "menace our citizens" is that the government kidnapped them and trafficked them into permanent imprisonment in El Salvador. That's the same amount of proof they'll produce when they do it to you. It could happen today, and there would be no chance to contact friends and family, or to argue your innocence. Because there has been no due process, and no proof or even accusation of any crime, we have to assume that all of these people sent to prison in El Salvador are innocent, just as you would be.
This is why we have, had, due process, to prevent errors.
Errors and deliberate abuse.
