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!

The president has the explicit authority to direct the DOJ to enforce laws
He can order them to detain Thomas in Gitmo.
And it would be 100% legit thanks to recent rulings.
Or...
Biden can just not do shit because he personally doesn't think he should be allowed to
We need a president willing to use every tool at their disposal to stop fascism, not one that's fine with loosing as long as they tried their "goodest"
Too busy trying to not rock the boat meanwhile other people are actively punching holes in it
Got to make sure the boat is going nice and steady as it crushes headfirst into the iceberg. Wouldn't want to cause a ruckus, no.
Good point. "Rock the vote, not the boat" may as well be the campaign slogan.
Well you have to admit it worked well for Neville Chamberlain didn't it? /s
This won't lead to a ratcheting effect of political warfare internally at all.
Do you honestly think Biden is fully aware of and capable of using his newly decided powers? I don’t.
Hell, would you trust Biden to drive your car home for you after it gets dark outside?
To put it bluntly, if I were as old as he is, I would just start ordering things to happen, because ultimately the worst that happens is the people say no, put me in a cushy federal ~~resort~~ prison for a couple years, and I'm dead.
I trust plenty of people with physical limitations to do mental things, but not physical things.
"your president won't even order the murder of citizens without a trial, what a huge fucking coward he is for not taking the easy road"
This is what you sound like to people residing in reality.
