Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

The new America is the second most racist nation on the planet, only after they masters whom they so willingly serve: Israel.

If this man has an issue with specific states than those states need to start having an issue with this man. Sanction and seize his assets if he doesn't have any seize his friends assets. if you need laws, pass em. Let the people be the ones to tell you have gone too far.

Trump doesn’t need laws, fight in kind.

How much does it cost to file a lien? Even if it's bullshit, it's probably something they'll have to deal with. I can only imagine hundreds of liens on Trump tower for them to sort through.

A bunch of insecure, cowardly middle-schoolers managed to take over the most powerful country on the planet. It beggars belief.

This is how the United States of America turns into the States of America.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

"United" has always been aspirational.

The Republican Party is dead as a country-wide organization.

They are making no attempt to win future elections.

This is proof positive that they are planning a violent takeover.

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

They are planning to dramatically raise the level of violence.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

They're 40% through the takeover. We won't see another fair election in this country and possibly not an election again after 2026.

This genius is seizing the funds of a city where he has a whole ass building...

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

I'm thinking the maker states/cities might want to think about not sending in funds to a government that is playing games like this. Maybe let the taker states that voted for idiot conservatives try to see how they do without the maker states.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

So much for "rebuilding our cities" huh?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

So Illinois should just withhold a few billion in taxes from the Fed and problem solved.
