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 mean, assuming the republicans ever lose power, why should any of the conventions of the past be upheld? Why should not every single judge appointed by the republicans be removed from their positions?
Trump has shown you that the rules don't matter when you are in power, fucking learn the lesson already
Because one side values "decorum" and "reaching across the aisle" and one doesn't.
Isn't that Count Orlok?
We need to get impeachment votes on him now. Lying to congress is impeachable. Make the GoP defend him.
Awful, but sadly expected. What a pack of ghouls, man.
Whats the process of removing a life time judge? Are they above the law?
Impeachment,so it won't happen in this country.
They get removed at the end of their life.
Technically no, but actually yes
Bye bye USA! Everything passed after 1950 that a conservative would dislike will be removed or… just basically ignored.
The URSS curse, the USA defeated it but doing so condemned itself to ruin
The US has become Russia.
Soviet Union had public healthcare
And public housing. Not saying I'd like to live in an apartment, but the option to do that would be nice.
Don't worry, they're gonna build special camps for people who cant afford homes instead
Nosferatu for the win!
Trump is so transparent, his evil henchmen even look evil! I mean look at that gormless, single-digit IQ pig Tom Homan, the Cruella-looking Tulsi Gabbard, the worm-for-brains RFK Jr. with the tombstone voice, and now this children-scaring motherfucker: they're so caricatural they could have been cast as Dr. Evil's henchmen.
I guess all that's missing is a cat called Mr. Bigglesworth sitting on Trump's lap.
Don't forget the Eastern European child rapist looking Stephen Miller.
He'd be great for a remake of M, except for the expressionlessness.
Oh yeah true, how could I forget that psycho!
Hopefully he lives a very short life.
This country is beyond hope.
Sure as long as nobody does literally anything
Haven't you noticed? The whole country has been talking about fucking paper containing fucking already known information 24/7.
Doing nothing is their national occupation.
The no-voters are ahead of you on that.
That's a given. They won't.
We can hope that the relevant lifetime for this lifetime appointment is not too long. Like a shitty lifetime warranty that guarantees your product will work for as long as it does.
Indeed, I think the Americans' only recourse left at this point is the fourth box of liberty. The problem is, the powers that be have understood that they need to outgun the citizenry if they want to stay in power forcibly. So they've militarized the police to the point that it's simply impossible to overpower it. And all of them surround themselves with multiple layers of bodyguards, so they're impossible to approach.
So they’ve militarized the police to the point that it’s simply impossible to overpower it.
More violent authoritarian regimes have been overthrown by people power. Don't fall into the learned helplessness trap.
They are far from invulnerable. It might be difficult, but hardly impossible.
Let me guess, he pinky promised Murkowski he would behave.
She actually voted against him. Her and Collins are allowed to vote against GOP nominees as long as their votes don't matter.
Bove was confirmed, 50-49. Every Democrat opposed him, along with two Republicans: Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine).
They keep fucking doing that to placate their bases and it's so annoying.
I knew this was coming eventually. I'm shocked, but I can't really be surprised by Republicans' fecklessness at this point.
Nooooooo! You've gotta be fucking kidding me!
We all knew they would confirm this unwrapped mummy despite their protestations of concern. The act is tired.
Good job, jerk-offs.
Cunts.
