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!

It helps that the opposition party seems to have no interest is actually opposing him in any meaningful way.

Biden has literally been given the green light to end his life without any consequences by the SCOTUS

Every day he doesn't, we should be brushing up on our French revolution history.

Naw, everyone keep saying this, but the supreme court only ever said "You aren't allowed to commit crimes, but if you do, you won't get in trouble for it". No extra power was given, but presidents and former presidents cannot be prosecuted for "official acts", still need to find a "yes-man" to do the deed.

The US military and law enforcement lean conservative. Biden aint finding anyone to do anything on his orders.

I mean he do it himself, I guess, he can pull out a gun and shoot trump during a meeting, doesn't matter, theres vance, mike johnson and many others in the line of succession. He can have a meeting with SCOTUS and pull a AK47 and shoot them, doesn't matter, they get filled when the republican president or acting president takes power.

You don't need a yes man if you are immune. Biden isn't so old that he can't hold a Glock.

~~Biden: "Listen folks, I need y'all to assemble a team of Navy Seals to kill Donald Trump for his treason against the United States of America."~~

~~US Military: "Sorry Mr. President, we aren't able to do that."~~

Edit: Misread comment, thought you said "Biden is too old to hold a glock"

[–] Blue_Morpho 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, because the Seals aren't immune. But Biden can cap Trump and retire to Delaware.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

But then... vance

🤣

(Btw, I misread you comment, I thought you said "Biden was too old to hold a glock")

[–] Blue_Morpho 1 points 2 weeks ago

Sorry for the double negative. I post and then edit. But sometimes don't edit :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Vance isn't nearly as charismatic as Trump, so I doubt he would be as bad as Trump.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

In terms of not being crazy enough to nuke the world, vance is definitely better.

In terms of destroying democracy...

well, hes not as senile, and that's very concerning...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

The death of Trump will be the rise of Peter Thiel shadow government. I don’t like that any more.

[–] Chainweasel 13 points 2 weeks ago

He acted like he was for 4 years while pouting at Mar-a-Lago. He never stopped pretending he was president.

[–] HootinNHollerin 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And he’s not gonna give it up after 4 years either. It will have to be by force

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

He'll be dead by natural causes in 4 years. The man's lifestyle is atrocious.

Trump runs on hate and vengence. Based on Kissinger he is going to live to be 200

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

We've been saying this for years now. It's wishful thinking that will of course eventually be true on a long enough timeline, but not before he does an insane amount of damage (and leaves JD Vance as POTUS).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Do you realize how long Kissinger lived?

[–] CharlesDarwin 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

So, more or less the same way he's been behaving since his failed coup in 2021. His idiot base was insisting everyone call him "President" donvict, too....that's when they weren't lying and saying the election was "stolen" from him...
