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!

Trump. Is. The. Domestic. Terrorist.

Oh and he rapes little girls because he’s sick in the head.

Release the Epstein files pedo.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

He's sick in the pants, face and hands too

Honestly I read this at first and thought it said "Poland" and I was thinking this all sounded very familiar.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Portland is also opening its border with Belarus and urging state residents to return home.

Just do what Pritzker did and tell em to fuck off.

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That was possible specifically because Trump tried to use the national guard, here I don't think we know what force he's going to try to use,

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

The National Guard is still his easiest route. If he sends in the actual military, then there's no ambiguity...he's breaking the law.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

Protesters. He's talking about protesters.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

I believe CPAC claimed that for Republicans already.

Local news had live coverage outside the facility last night, there were like 4 guys standing around.

The Sinclair rhetoric was through the roof, overlayed on 4 guys looking bored at 11 PM. No protest to be seen.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ooh what was the Sinclair rhetoric about?

Unrelated, I was on my home state (Rhode Island) subreddit yesterday talking about this Sinclair shit. They just bought our local ABC affiliate (WLNE) and already owned our NBC affiliate (WJAR). Meanwhile, Nexstar owns our CBS affiliate (WPRI) and airs their local news on our Fox affiliate (WNAC).

There's nowhere left. Nothing is safe.

But the best part was the dude I was arguing with, claiming that Sinclair and Nexstar air nothing but left-wing propaganda.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

It was a lot of "Trump is rolling in a mass quantity of troops" yadda yadda... Video of 4 dudes. LOL.

[–] chiocciola@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 month ago

Be careful, Jordan downplays fascism, and discourages the fight against it.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

Gonna bring him back some toddlers while they're out?

The currently most dangerous domestic terrorist in the US resides in Pennsylvania Avenue 1600, Washington, DC.
