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!

I have a memo that says I can go as fast as I want. I don't have to obey the speed limit. It also says I don't have to stop for red lights. Trump's memo has the same legal authority to change the constitution as mine does to change the speed limit.
Officer, promote that person!
This is what the 2nd amendment was made for
Hahaha no. It was made to allow the South to hunt down runaway slaves and to put down any slave uprisings.
2nd amendment - 1791
Civil war - 1861
Most of the southern states didn't really even exist yet.
The 2nd was written because the founders literally just finished fighting a war with private arms against a country that tried to take them and oppress the citizens.
Don't forget being a safety blanket that allows Americans to postpone any form of social change!
Judges need to hold these fuckers in contempt limbo.
Unfortunately, they'll just end up arresting the judges too.
People need to start shooting at ICE agents that break into homes. If Judges have their wits about them they'll throw out any cases against people who defended themselves against the ICE gang breaking in to abduct them or their family.
ICE are federal agents, does that mean shooting at them is a federal crime? Which would mean you end up in a federal court before a judge who directly falls under the Trump hierarchy? If that’s how it works, then that won’t end well for the shooter.
Even if it also falls under state jurisdiction (like they are doing with Luigi, is that called double jeopardy?) if the state acquits you, you’ll still have to answer to the feds.
If they entered your house, you were going to die in a death camp anyways.
You can't be taken to federal court if you fight to the death.
It is not a crime if someone was breaking into your home, you were fearing for your life and defended yourself. By law actual law enforcers would have a warrant.
Also if the question of whether it is a suspected state crime or a federal crime depends on who the employer of that person is, the US would be outside the scope of a state of law and resistance all the more mandated.
And then what?
The executive branch enforces the judiciary's decisions. It's toothless when the executive branch ignores it. The third check is for the legislative branch to impeach and convict. And we know that won't happen.
I'll just toss that over here with the rest of the fascism
Is it just me that saw the picture and the first thing I noticed were the big X logos?
Holy crap, you're right!
🎵 Waiting for the final solution To strengthen the strain Waiting to follow the worms Waiting to turn on the showers And fire the ovens 🎵
jfc, roger. we failed. sorry.
I'm wondering if people that watched The Wall and now support donvict watched the fascist stuff and thought: "hey, that looks like FUN!"
Didn't he just sign an executive order that "allows" them to do this, or did I hallucinate?
