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!

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that President Donald Trump is exploring legal pathways to “deport” U.S. citizens to El Salvador, where the administration has already arranged to house deported immigrants in a prison known for its human rights abuses.

I got permabanned from Reddit in the February Bloodbath, after 12 years and over 900K karma. They have obviously reviewed my post history, and are aware of my radical anti-MAGA opinions. I'm on their radar, and sooner or later they'll come knocking.

I got temp banned for saying awful shit to Republicans and I probably deserved it but later ones were for complete bullshit

Surprisingly I didnt get banned (I have a similar post history), what did you do ? Any idea ?

I am a life-long Unafilliated Independent, and have been loudly and radically anti-MAGA, and anti-HitlerPig from the start. I have talked often about him going to prison, or worse (too much to ask probably, as much as he deserves it), along with all the rest of his jackals.

I regularly post that he is the most prolific traitor in American history, worse than ALL previous American traitors COMBINED.

Yeah, those dirty snowflakes can't stand it when someone talks about them the way they talk about everyone else.

i think they are getting around to banning dissenting opinion, but they will eventually move on to everyone.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They have to create some vague laws that nearly anyone could run afoul of, so they can pick and choose who to oppress. Basically, we'll all be criminals, and they can detain the ones that they hate the most.

Sprinkle crack on them and call it a day Johnson

Well said that man ! I certainly agree with all your points and have said similar things but reading between the lines I suspect I was a little less, umm, forceful about it 😁 I've been banned from a few subreddits but not an outright ban yet

Yeah, those dirty snowflakes can't stand it when someone talks about them the way they talk about everyone else.

Absolutely true

I tried to keep it cool on Reddit, but then those Traitors would do something else evil, and I'd get worked up and start called for guillotines.

I was also extremely supportive of Luigi, calling the CEO a Corporate Serial Killer for Profit, and encouraging any jurors to understand that since they can't see his face in the video, they can claim reasonable doubt. Now they are banning people.just for upvoting pro-Luigi posts.

Yeah, the MAGAs and Sociopathic Oligarchs don't like loudmouths like me, and Reddit is now MAGA, operated by a Sociopathic Oligarch. I am pleased by their hatred for me. I love MAGA tears.
