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!

Schutzstaffel was a paramilitary unit under Adolf Hitler started in 1925 for “protection”. It started with 10 men, and by 1944 it was almost a million strong.
Due to the United States constitution and the information age of technology, it would not be possible for Trump to create a new paramilitary force, so instead he simply co-opted and weaponized the most politically radical police force in our country - Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The SS were the enforces of Nazi ideology and “law”. They kidnapped dissidents and foreigners. They facilitated and ran the camps. They are the ones who did the holocaust.
ICE are the enforcers of MAGA ideology and “law”. They kidnap dissidents and foreigners. They facilitate and run the camps. They are the ones doing mass deportation to foreign authoritarian death camps.
Most countries (125 nation states) define mass deportation as a crime against humanity in accordance with the Rome Statue of the International Criminal Court.
Under international Law genocide is defined mostly as mass murder against a national, ethnic, or religious group… but also just creating life conditions meant to destroy the group physically, and/or forcibly moving children to another “group”.
ICE agents are Trump’s modern day Nazi SS.
I am not drawing parallels here. I am just tracing the lines. It’s the same fucking picture. The only reason there are less dead bodies and missing persons, is because almost everyone can see almost everything as it’s happening now.
Imagine if Hitler was an incompetent moron who had to deal with smart phones and social media.
That’s our President.
Been saying it time and again: the comparison to Germany 1933 is not an exaggeration (anymore).
And I'd say we're much closer to 1939 now.
We're actually close to 1936, when they started rounding up the first disabled people to send them to special hospitals to get the beat treatment, only to have their families receive a letter that their loved one had passed away.
The clergy were the first to detect the pattern, as each family in their congregation that had been ordered to send their family to the treatment facility got the same letters, and clergy figured out that a euthanasia program was underway.
They spoke out, and Hitler acted shocked at this news, and pledged to end the program, and find out who was responsible, but it was only made more secretive, and of course, evolved into the Holocaust.
We haven't reached that point yet, but we are building the concentration camps required to hold everyone. I suspect that they intend to use ANTIFA Domestic Terrorists as 13th Amendment Prison Slaves, to replace the foreign workers who used to pick crops and such.

"This person writes much better than I ever could. Must be AI"
My son is an excellent writer, and he's in college, and he's terrified that his writing for assignments is going to be attributed to AI. I just tell him you can't worry about that, and just write. If someone makes the accusation, they'll have to prove it.
Besides, he's smart in every other way, too. It won't take long for his profs to recognize that he's too smart to use AI.
I’m sorry you feel that way.
The truth is I don’t use AI for much, I’m just old and have written and read a lot of stuff in my life… but think what you want I guess.
I do talk to it sometimes… but I kind of hate bullshit, so I haven’t really used it for content before.
It’s sad that basic literacy, grammar, punctuation, and spelling is misconstrued for AI these days. I weep for the future.
Sometimes I use it to clean up graphics that I've done, so they look tighter, but it's extremely frustrating. Half the time it says "Ta-Daa!" and there's nothing there. You tell it there's no image, and it says "You're right, I didn't show the image, upload the original and I'll get it right this time," and it still doesn't display the graphic.
Finally it tells me I used up all my requests until it resets at some future unknown time, but it will keep me company until then.
No thanks, I'm not interested in snuggling with a sexually harrassing AI.
It's like the worst employee I've ever had. If it WAS an employee, I'd fire it every day.
