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!

My gut wants to say that this is maybe intended to distract us from keeping focus on the embarrassments of the Signal debacle and the tanking economy. But my gut also tells me that we can have multiple awful things piling up on each other.
To be honest, the Signal debacle was a way to distract us from the literal bombing that they were using Signal to plan.

This is the part of the story where I'm sent to a camp while the genocidal libs who told me to vote for them do absolutely nothing.
(And no I don't live in a place where my vote matters.)
I mean, the libs are going into the camp as well. Specifically, the ones that wanted you to vote for them most likely a target. Trump's admin is clearly trying to flex their power, now that they're ignoring the rightwing Supreme Court and completely ignoring due process. Why would they want to continue to tolerate any political threats to their power at all?
Maybe you'll get to see Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Chuck Schumer, and Bernie Sanders all in the Salvadoran Gulag with you. Maybe you'll even meet me there. We can all go and bitch at each other while the fascists torture us all to death.

The world would be a better place if Stephen Miller never said or wrote another word. He's more hateful of the Constitution than anyone in the country. He's a white supremacist bigot who is scared of his own shadow, and when cornered by his idiocy in an interview the only thing he knows how to do is fake outrage to dodge.
Republicans hate America and half of Americans.
They will self deport then?
Does that mean they can deport Trump?
I'm unable to say what I'd like to say about this, sooooo, I'm just going to recommend a good movie.
It's called Inglorious Bastards, it's a wonderful film.
Also, baseball is a great pass time. 🐻 Go Cubs!

So, where do we ~~get~~ have to go when they deport us? I'm Irish/Scottish from about 400 years back, so my ancestors were literally here before the USA existed. Do I ~~get~~ have to go back "home"? Because I've always wanted to go!
Yeah I don't think it'll be funny anymore when you're on a plane to El Salvador.
The fact that we have nowhere to be deported to is literally the point.
Your wish is granted. Half of you will be mailed to Ireland, the other half to Scotland.

"We don't need no first amendment" (with apologies to Pink Floyd)
"How can you have any rights without the Constitution!? " (still in the Floyd vein)
See, this is why I hate America.
