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!

This shitbag needs to be "totally incarcerated!"
Misread as "incinerated". Prefer my misreading.
Dangle him, the authors of Project 2025, and the ultra wealthy above a massive vat of acid from a chain and slowly drop it a few cm a second into the acid. Everyone up the chain gets to hear the agonizing cries of the ones before them being slowly dissolved alive.
Great, now I'm erect...
I've upvoted you, but it worries me that one might lose that much humanity. Fascists are our enemies, but I don't wish torture on any human. Punish them - take their freedom away permanently, or even execute them if society agrees the death penalty should exist and apply. But causing harm to people only truly harms the people doing the torture.
I agree with your assessment and concern. Thank you for both! I have always had a strong sense of justice and morality. But I also love redemption stories. I believe in forgiveness, but only for those who demonstrate remorse, including MAGA and fascists. I know people can change, not just pretend to be better. My chief complaint about the ultra wealthy is that they could have enough to have the life they do without killing the planet and bleeding everyone dry, but they actively choose not to. There is a fundamental flaw in their brain and no amount will ever be enough for them.
I don't blame a tick or flea for existing. They didn't ask to need the blood of others to survive. But most parasites only take enough to perpetuate their species and then move on. Greed has no limit, proven time and again across history. My beef is that they could have their blood and move on, but that isn't enough. There is no enough with these people. We didn't need to live like this, but their endless greed makes the world a shittier place.
As far as I'm concerned we tried to keep the balance through the levers of govt. and policy. They (those who think like the authors of Project 2025) came along and smashed the system to pieces. We have very little recourse, as such, to enact change going forward that won't include their removal from society. They own our police, our media, our politicians, our food sources, and our courts. Now, using what they've hoarded, they have destroyed the government systems that provide for anyone but them and told the rest of us to eat shit and die.
I was naive, before. I'm aware, now.
Agreed, plus we don't want to give anyone a chance to pull up the chain, just throw them in the vat of acid.
