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!

And Americans will hand it over without firing a shot.

Very disappointed in Americans, Luigi is only respectable one.

[–] BassTurd 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I support what Luigi allegedly did 100%, but what change did that bring about and where did he end up? The POTUS is arguably the safest man in the world. Walking up to the Whitehouse to just end it isn't how that works.

It's going to require an organized effort and sacrifice for any chance of success. To add, 30+% of the population supports the current situation, so it's not just one bad apple. Lastly, the majority of Americans have not really been affected yet, so the urgency to sacrifice oneself for an almost 0% chance of success isn't really there.

I'd like to see judges start arresting people carrying out Trump's illegal orders. Might not be able to go after Trump, but not a single one of those other players have the legal protections he has. Make people scared to carry out his orders and maybe less people will be lining up to do so.

What change?! WHAT CHANGE?! no one changed anything! Why didn’t SOMEONE ELSE do anything?

I’m too busy with my mccorpo job to save my country, my family, my friends…

But someone else… someone else should do something about this but not that thing, because what change did it bring?

Do you understand the kind of person you are yet?

[–] BassTurd 3 points 23 hours ago

Yes, someone surviving. Unless you're in our shoes, you can get right off you high horse and fuck off. Big words from someone who's never sacrificed literally everything for almost 0 chance of change.

Hell, the Trump admin could affect you too, why haven't you started popping off conservatives to save the day?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

The change was meant to be in you. You were meant to follow his lead.

So target another Republican who isn’t the safest man in the world. When they can’t get any middle managers to issue their orders for them because they’re all dead or scared you will have made a change.

Judges are not going to achieve anything. Don’t even bother wasting your time on that libshit.
