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.

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!

These things we need to pay more attention to. And I mean we, globally. It doesn't make for good headlines, because one needs to explain how US government works. But these are the leverage points that start the undoing of democracy. Yes yes, it's already hardly democratic anymore, but right now there's still a chance that the nightmare ends come next election.
We sort of know how it works, you don't need to explain it. People in other countries have education about the civics of many nations, and obviously most of us pay attention to US politics. Go ahead and assume we know the basics of what is happening.
Maybe they will actually fight back if their insider trading gets threatened
Well I'll be, if it's not the ideological purge!
And only about 3 months in
Only running slightly behind Hitler's January - March power consolidation. Trump just needs a Reichstag fire to give pretext for an Enabling Act.
That may be why ICE is so unconcernedly aggressive. It's a win/win situation for Trump, leading up to either kidnapping and expelling undesirables by masked secret police or, if someone fights back in a dramatic way, providing the basis to increase his power.
Nobody expected it!

Although Hitler presented no evidence of a plot by Röhm to overthrow the regime, he nevertheless denounced the leadership of the SA.[40] Arriving back at party headquarters in Munich, Hitler addressed the assembled crowd. Consumed with rage, Hitler denounced "the worst treachery in world history". Hitler told the crowd that "undisciplined and disobedient characters and asocial or diseased elements" would be annihilated.
Erin go bragh
In 1847, a group of Irish volunteers, including U.S. Army deserters, joined the Mexican side in the Mexican–American War. These soldiers, known as Los San Patricios or Saint Patrick's Battalion, flew as their standard a green flag with a harp and the motto Erin Go Bragh.[6][7] Similar flag designs have been used at different times to express Irish nationalism.[8]
We have to impose justice on these cunts.
That orange turd has been evading karma for so long I am starting to suspect those assholes do have a time machine
At this point its pretty obvious Karma's not real, some of the shittest people have and still do live the best lives, and some of the best intentioned people have lived the shittest lives. It's js copium for good people with unfortunate circumstances.
Honestly I wonder how long it'll take before these goobers just lock the doors of Congress during a recess with a U-lock.
They redefined "calendar day" to not include any days for the remainder of the session. We aren't that far off from this kind of bullshit at all.
That's not a thing.
It's like the joke:
Let's see him wiggle out of this! [he wiggles out of it effortlessly] Ah. Well, nevertheless!
it is. requires a two-thirds vote.
only six have ever been booted from the house. the most recent was george santos in 2023, the only republican to have been.
it is. requires a two-thirds vote.
With this crop of democrats, it's still not guaranteed to fail.
Trump demanding it, I mean.
It's also a 2/3 vote in whichever body brought the action, which would never happen.
Because Trump's first term and 100 days of his second has shown him to be a stickler for obeying the law.
A lot of things he’s doing “aren’t a thing”
