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.
- 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.
- 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!

Finally the media will actually say it. I've been trying to point this out for a week but no one has been talking about it. Ignoring lawful court orders, laws passed by congress, and the constitution. This is not a drill, please think about what it will take to reverse this and what you personally can contribute to this struggle. The consequences will be dire for everyone if this is not stopped.
I believe you, but it’s too late. We elected a mad man -twice, and have never once followed through with any sorta legal action, punishment, or repercussions for his sly/illegal behavior. What can we do now except hope to vote against his party/interest in 2 years and continue to write letters to congressmen (who don’t read them).
It's never too late.
There are plenty of political actions one can take beyond voting and there is absolutely not time to wait 2 years to address these things. Protest, join orgs fighting this, call your representatives, do anything you can think of.
It's never too late. Remember, whatever democratic protections we have today were fought and clawed from the rulers of the past by people like us. Worst case scenario we have a repeat of that situation but they never win in the long run. The human spirit and desire for freedom can never be permanently defeated.
Unionize. Unionize while you still can
Good point I should have mentioned that one.
