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!

Not sure what 'permanently' means within the context of this administration.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Fun fact, when the president violates his oath of office, he's guilty of treason!

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, treason has a very specific and limited definition in the constitution so it wouldn’t be

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, treason requires cooperation with other heads of state. For instance, selling/giving classified info to Russia. Oh wait…

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 1 points 20 hours ago

Do you really think we’re going to find evidence again? It’s probably all gone now with the way they’ve fucked every department

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

But the Supreme Court already said he can’t be guilty of anything.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

But that requires Republicans to have a spine.

A federal judge will be found in El Salvador by Tuesday.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

By Tuesday it'll be Rwanda

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tuesday, Wednesday heart attack

Thursday never coming back

Friday Abu Ghraib

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Is this The Cure?

[–] SpaceShort@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

If that happens. Time for more mass protests. Shut down the economy. Park cars across all major roads. Maybe even form alliances with opponents of the regime in El Salvador with the aim of overthrowing that regime and liberating the prisoners.

Are there any federal judges without pale skin? I don't think fash are attacking clarence thomas.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They pay a lot for that token.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Some old lady’s kitchen remodel is worth the downfall of modern society.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 28 points 1 day ago

He opened with this, going after the top law firms capable of prosecuting MAGA.

[–] twice_hatch@midwest.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In the end it depends what the guys with guns believe and who is paying them and how much

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 2 points 23 hours ago

That is the kind of government action that Gandhi's protests counted on ...

The fash system will put a million people in concentration camps before one of its lawyer.
