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!

I'm not interested in torching democrats either, but their reliance on the patience of progressives has to come back and bite them somehow. We are all watching the right move with lightning speed and wondering why the Democratic party ever convinced us the same couldn't be done for progressive policy.
Trump is pulling blatantly illegal shit and you're wondering why the Dems don't do the same thing when they're in office???
Bonus round: It's easy to burn things down. Any fucking moron can burn things down. It's not easy to build things up. In fact, it's very, very, very hard to build things.
That is the conundrum. Stake your claim in norms and legality while your opponent steamrolls everything to the delight of a generation of people who've lost all patience and you'll always lose. How do you fight that?
He doesn't want to. He wants everyone to be happy when no one fights it.
Burn the fucking ICE down then. Or simply prosecute Trump and put him in jail.
It's over either way. While there may be a way out of this, it's not going to be with the current dems, and very likely not a peaceful way either.
As much as the current situation is fucked, a normal country (under Dems) needs some level of ICE. So no they can't burn down ICE. And Dems are not the judicial branch. Dems do not decide who goes to prison, the judicial branch does that. This is the same old: Dems are beholden to the truth and rules, and GOP isn't.
Yes, we didn't have a normal country at any point prior to March 2003, when ICE was founded.
