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!

So Trump wants mass deportations and to end birthright citizenship, but wants to allow dreamers to stay? I don’t buy it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

His administration isn't going to be known for its well thought out policy solutions and his supporters won't judge him on that basis anyways. He just needs to deport a few brown people and have the press report on it so they can feel like he's hurting the people they want hurt. That's it.

This is all absolute bullshit. He's trying to pull this "People like me now, so I'm not going to do anything crazy..." bullshit.

Something dark and sinister is on the table...

Depending on the generals around him, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a nuke drop in the next 4 years as a "scare tactic" and "warning" to all

I had a dream about that last night.

My tinfoil hat theory is that he's going to coordinate with Putin to let him drop one on either DC or NYC. He won't do anything to stop it since it would fulfill his sadistic desire for retribution.

[–] kittyjynx 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

NYC, where his flagship properties are? Or DC where he also has properties as well as the symbols of his power?

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

The dude is an unhinged, demented lunatic. He also despises NYC.

IMO if the hypothetical was to come to fruition, he'd go for somewhere on the west coast. Seattle or L.A.
