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!

People need to realize that what he is … offering is a form of insurrection, where states resist the federal government

They are trying to make any disagreements with Trump an "insurrection".

Meanwhile Texas AG literally wasted tax payer money to pursue Trump's bogus 2020 election claims

This is what we mean when we talk about fascists. Fuck America.

Maybe start with Alabama which was the first state in recent history to flat out refuse to accept a SCOTUS ruling.

This is their plan. They'll arrest a few different elected state officials on bogus federal charges, and then find a conformant puppet to get out in their place. Then they expect all the other duly elected officials to fall in line and stop resisting.

This is a Russian playbook. Plain and fucking simple.

The Supreme Court removes people from state office, huh? With what mechanism? Who pays for it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

The "because I said so" clause. That's the only one the authoritarians actually pay any attention to.

Freedom! Can't you just smell the "libertarian" viewpoint being expressed here? Not to mention the notion of "states rights" being employed in local representation?
