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!

Damn, how do you deport a kid with cancer and not even pause to think of you're doing the right thing
When the time of reckoning comes they'll say "We were just following orders. We're so sorry!"
But right now they say "We're following Trump's orders! America, fuck yeah!"
And they don't think, they don't empathize. They only feel their side of the story.
Well, that kid's mom had tattoos, which makes her part of a criminal gang. If the kid didn't want to be deported, they should have represented themselves in court.
Is a thing that I've legitimately heard reich-wing proto-nazis say.
Deporting the kid contributed to a statistic that they are publicly presenting as positive action, which is allowing them to cling to power. That's it. That is the banality of evil.
Republicans are ghouls.
Hey now! There are plenty of nice ghouls. Gob is great! Republicans are feral ghouls.
Edit: on a side note, I used to have a perpetual kitten that chose her name. The name she chose was Mikey Wazowski
Don't forget about the nicest ghoul of them all: Harold.
They do what the average conservative everywhere does: Convince themselves that most people secretly agree with what they are doing. They truly and honestly believe over two thirds of the country want them to do that.
That's why they keep talking about conspiracies involving someone controlling elections, the government etc. because reality doesn't match up with their views. And they don't think they can be wrong, so they conclude that it has to be some shadow organization that is going against the people.
It's also why they keep talking about themselves as if they are revolutionary fighters going against a great evil.
I feel like doxing ICE agents will become a thing at some point.
Happened to a few of them a week ago.
Let me know how I can help.
Deleting your account if that wasn’t TORposted
Instead of real activism I might just keep reminding ourselves, everything we do online should be considered posted under our names + emailed to Cashmoney Pawtel, subj line: “domestic terrorist 👇”
Wonder when soft bottomfeeder commenters like me will get Gitmo’d (CECOT’d). First they’re coming for Kilmar & the Palestinian grad student, next…
(I’m really milquetoast I just can’t imagine free speech is going to last very long even for privileged birthright citizens with birthright parents)
Oh I fucking hope they try. I wonder how they're gonna do anything when half their enlisted are on the "domestic terrorist" list? Not just junior enlisted, but NCOs? Officers, too. JOs, upper brass. Who's gonna maintain the carriers? Navigate the submarines? Maintain the jets? Transport the ammo?
be the change you wish to see in the world.
It gets a bit more complicated when that four year old is a member of tren de agagua.
We are all tren de agagua on this blessed day
Thanks, Ken. DOLT
Or La Banda de Plaza Sésamo.
Thoughts like that require both a conscience and intelligence and 47 lacks both and more.
Trump isn't the only one acting. And most of the foot soldiers were already on the job and just daydreaming about when they could really get tough. They need to be doxxed and recorded so they can be punished for their crimes one day. No "amnesty to let the nation heal" or "just doing their job". There needs to be consequences.
There will need to be another Nuremberg at the current rate of progression
It's easy - you just have to be a psychopath.
Like Trump, Musk, Vance, Homan, Noem, Rubio, etc., etc.
Obviously because the child with cancer is just a drain on national resources and he's doing the country a favour.
/s for me, but I suspect that this is how he rationalizes it. He does love Hitler, after all.
