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!

Why wouldn't he? I expect he will fire everyone he can who isn't totally loyal to him. And I expect his supporters to love it.

I expect he'll install whoever is willing to give him a big military parade through DC. Because I think that is the only point to our military from his perspective.

That's not true. He also wants them to shoot protestors.

Absolutely that’s the plan. Install Loyalists and yes men.

Michael Flynn is going to be involved somehow. We all know it.

That Flynn wasn’t recalled to service to be court-martialed is a travesty.

While I agree, it wouldn’t have mattered. He would’ve been martyred by the right, and Trump would pardon him on day 1.

Probably the most dangerous thing about his second term is he has nothing to lose. No more elections to worry about. That, coupled with his ability to largely escape any serious repercussions for his actions will make for an interesting 4-years.

Too late idiot's. Should - have spoke up

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

Plenty of Trump's former cabinet and generals he worked with spoke out against him.

People are just ignorant and vote against their own self interests.

A bunch of generals and other high ranking members came out and endorsed Harris though.
