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!

Not just them, anybody with fucking power. Where is the military right now? Theres a fucken coup happening in plain sight.
I thought this was what the second amendment was for... Well regulated militia and stuff...
Have you done anything like that yet?
Not my country, not my lifestyle. But when all those gun nuts give a militia protecting the democracy for an answer to the question why the second amendment is necessary you have to wonder if they started maching by now. Because if not, that argument might be bull.
It's easier to call for someone else to be brave than it is to be brave.
I'm not calling anyone to be brave. I'm calling them to put their money where their mouth is. Twice now, but you seem to not understand.
You are using synonyms in this context. That's twice you've pretended they're different. I don't know why you don't understand.
You no understand, me see this. Me not bother anymore. You sleep tight.
Interesting to see whatever point you were trying to make could not withstand the overwhelming urge to be an asshole.
Aw you, I think the same about you 💕🤗
I mean, you very clearly started the hostilities.
well, no, not a coup, a constitutional crisis, but not a coup
Unlawful seizure of power is a coup . . . oh . . . wait . . . Trump has complete immunity . . . nevermind
It's not a coup unless it's from the Potomac Valley region of the US. Otherwise, it's just a sparkling crisis.
The Four Loko of coups
Eh more bud light than four loko
It's a distinction without a difference. It's an unlawful seizure of power.
Idk man I’d say it falls under the definition of coup. With extra steps sure, still a coup tho imo
