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!

“It is imperative that we provide President Trump with every resource necessary to correct the disastrous course set by the Biden administration,” Ogles said in a statement
so Biden created a bad situation for him in 4 years, yet he thinks Trump needs 8 years to undo it. Sounds like a skill issue to me.
And there it is..
Didn't even wait a whole week. Emporer Trump inbound
Just imagine how cheap the eggs will be!
It's cute how so many in the comments think the legal checks will prevent this. They don't care about the law or the Constitution in the same way they don't care about optics, hypocrisy, decorum, or process. People keep viewing this through the lense of American democracy. None of that matters to fascists.
In the end, the country isn't a democracy. It's a complicated system with complicated interactions.
It's really not impossible that a democracy turns into fascism.
Thought about that regarding the current events in Germany. If people democratically vote for fascism, that's still a democratic vote. Only the outcome might be less democratic (or not at all) but at least once people choose this path willingly, following democratic rules.
At the end it's perfectly legal to do this. The question is more if it's good or bad. It maybe even stupid. But here we are.
They care about the law the same way the nazi's cared about the law until the night of the long knives. I suspect their mass deportation plan is really them gearing up for the night of the long knives 2.0.

Yeah, people don't seem to truly understand this, and I fear it will take something extreme before they do... And it's likely already too late now, let alone by then.
After four years of them being in power, he'll probably just be able to...not leave, regardless of any election. Who would stop him?
Trump even said he shouldn't have left in 2020. So think that is the plan already.
Presumably someone with better aim than the last shooter.
I’d be very careful as a wannabe dictator in a land with this many guns. The next four years are going to be tense for everyone.

Pretty fucking gross if you ask me.
Huh, the stupid party always screaming dumb things like "term limits" just cannot prostrate themselves enough in front of donvict, and completely reversing themselves.
Imagine that.
California could be broken into 66 Wyoming-sized states.
In order for it to pass, they need 290 votes in the House. The Republicans currently have 220 votes, so they would need 70 Democrats to flip.
Then it goes to the Senate where they need 67 votes. First, 60 to get past the inevitable filibuster, and with 53 votes, Republicans need 7 Democrats to flip to move it forward and 14 to pass it.
Then, the fun part, they need 38 states to ratify it. Trump did win 31 states, so he would still need 7 Harris states to ratify an amendment.
Nah. They're just gonna say "whachu gonna do about it" as he sits in the office for the third time. Or the richest men in the world backing the regime will just ~~bri~~ lobby.
Exactly. He already tried that once, he'll fucking do it again.
Shoot him.
Oh, but that would lack decorum.
Watch yourself. SCOTUS says he can legally have seal team 6 come to your house and kill you.
This is going to be the only answer, I'm afraid.
Don't forget, he'll sit in his office with his private army of proud boys surrounding him after he pre pardons them for shooting anyone who dares approach their precious leader.
This thread is reminding me of the movie Civil War that I watched recently

Me as a Tennessean: "I bet it's Andy Ogles"

Goddamn can I read that man like a fucking book. I'm sorry we're all trying to vote the bastard out but the State gerrymandered the district because... AND I SHIT YOU NOT... "California does it, so it's okay if we do it too". Honest to God what our State Assembly said about breaking Nashville up into a hellscape of gerrymandering.
Do know, he's an idiot IRL as well. He's the kind that's really full of himself and he's got a super high self-worth in head.

Will the guy still have a working brain? Lol.
That question presumes that he does now.
Standard traitor shit.
FTA" "Trump “has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal,”" - He hasn't don't anything yet!! How has he 'proven himself'
He's proven that he's a fascist and demented psycho, so that's good enough for republicans.
