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.

It's Steven Miller's vision. But, again, it's just an extension of the existing carceral state. Trump/Miller aren't dreaming up anything that didn't already exist under Ronald Wilson Reagan's California governorship. The only thing they're changing is volume.
Him and every other politico to the right of John McCain and the left of AOC. Only liberals have a fetish for being told "No".
To paraphrase the great political theorist November Kelly, "I hate when the government defends itself against my team. I love when the government defends itself against the other team."
Trump doesn't need these organs gone. He has them fully co-opted by his MAGA co-conspirators and billionaire friends. Once he's out of office, he 100% wants a muscular SCOTUS to hold up the stop sign in front of every Barack Obama who enters office in his wake. He wants a Senate that gets nothing done under Democrats for the same reason he wants a rubber stamp from his fellow republicans.
The modern democratic system exists as a ratchet to the benefit of fascists. And Trump loves that the ratchet turns his way.
Reagan was horrible in his own ways, but I don't rememeber Reagan trying to outright break the Constitution or deny birthright citizenship.
I'm not sure what your point is. Just as one example, the ACA still exists in some form and we know trump hates it. If trump could just end the ACA with the stroke of a pen, he would.
Right, that supports my argument.
Not fully, but he's working on it. He still needs Republicans to hold the legislature and with all the damage he's doing using the Republican name, that is looking increasingly less and less likely.
trump doesn't like how slow it turns, even if it turns his way.
