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.

This is basically a list of people he wants his white nationalist terrorist groups to target. Kinda like when Sarah palin put gabby Gifford in the crosshairs list right before she got shot
I knew all that came together crap the right was pushing would go away and they'd end up cheering the lefts oppression not realizing it's theirs as well.
Democrats have spent years vilifying ICE as “fascists,” “the Gestapo,” and “slave patrols,” inciting a 1,000% surge in assaults on agents and a wave of Radical Left terror. Their words aren’t just reckless — they’re a battle cry for violence.
You can create a list twice as long as this of Trump’s comments vilifying and inciting violence against democrats.
Edit: I find it funny that they linked the “1,000%” number to a story that doesn’t include any evidence for the number.
I want to know where that figure comes from. 1,000% is probably small when you consider how much ice has expanded in size and activity.
Percentage is probably one of the easiest ways to calculate a difference but presenting a percentage change can be mildly misleading if you don't know what the original numbers are.
An increase of 100% is really a 2x increase, 1000% increase is an 11x increase.
If there used to be 1 ICE raid a month and now there are 11, that's a 1000% increase. Given the change in directive and ramp up in action I'd be somewhat surprised if it was only 1000%
Yeah, that’s was what I was getting at, just worded much better. I feel like ice activity has increased way more than 1000% since Trump took office.
Yes Trump, people upset that a masked and poorly trained federal shadow force can kick in your door zip tie your children without a warrant disappear you forever without accountability or a right to a trial in the middle of the night is clearly an unreasonable concern
Assault with a deadly camera! Proud Boys clearly identify themselves as cops, no badges is just protection against doxxing
This guy is making history. Because we've never before seen, a president really act like an intolerable, immature, fuckwit who treats all of this like it's high school again.
Normally, Presidents of the past just get up on podiums and get into professional interviews to talk of their opponents or so.
This guy just posts a generic list while crying about the truth.
Eh....Nixon was pretty petty. There is a direct line from Nixon to Trump.
And remember we got here because the conservatives of Nixon wanted to find a way to control what was truth.
Enter Roger Stone
Roger Ailes, too. He was the one who revamped conservative news into propaganda mills in direct response to Nixon's resignation.
Ermmm. McCarthy?
Someone is going to kill one of these people and get away with it
Of course. That's the point.
"Will no one rid me of these turbulent enemies?"
Cringe use of official government Whitehouse website. I prefer going through Idiocracy 2006 100 times istead of what we have in 2025
It's true, they are his enemies, indeed truth IS his enemy. Trumps enemies are myriad, and they are the best people.
FUCKING EVERYTHING THEY WRITE IS SPIT OUT OF A GODDAMN LLM
That's because they're morons.
My smoldering ember of hope is kept warm by the fact that these morons are probably going to totally fumble their fascist takeover because running a modern country is pretty complicated actually and they keep firing the people who know how to do things.
Fascism is a tool his Dark Enlightenment financial backers adopted, Trump is just a vehicle for dismantling democracy and Balkanizing America so their mythical utopia can rise like a phoenix from the ashes of destruction. Trump will be scapegoated and discarded once he has served his purpose.
Wikipedia should use this as a perfect example of DARVO.
Had to look that up but absolutely
If you skipped the intro to the list it would just look like a bunch of people making true statements.
I think nixon at least kept his private. Its funny as there was some debate under trump1 on who was worse nixon, bush jr, or trump. At least for me this is no longer an outstanding question.
Look where continuously voting for right wing parties brought us... Obviously, only voting for far-right parties can get us out of this.
Sonderfahndungsliste
It's gonna be great when he finally strokes out for thr last time.
Vance and the heritage foundation is going to keep marching forward on authoritarianism
An enemies list? Who does he think he is, Sheldon Cooper?
