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!

It's a wet dream to imagine the same thing happening over here

Hey, a country can dream.

I’m sure it’s some Russian and billionaire backed attempt to destroy a democracy like America. Good for them for if they can stop it in its tracks early.

Do it! And then spit the chairman out into the crowd like Ozzy did that fake bat head.

That was not a fake bat. Ozzy was rushed to the hospital after the show for rabies shots. If I recall correctly he thought it was a prop and that’s why he did it.

Thats crazy and terrible

What stops them from changing party name and continue as before?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 hours ago

In theory? Nothing.

In practice? If the court rules, that a ban is justified, it not only rules, that the AfD is unconstitutional and thus banned, but also all future groups that can be seen as its successors will be banned.

On the basis of the AfD AfD's classification, Bremen is to advocate the swift initiation of a party ban proceeding against the AfD as "secured right-wing extremist" by

the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution at the Federal Level. The red-red-green coalition of the Hanseatic city wants to bring a corresponding application to the Bremen citizenry.

The draft on the urgent request is available to SPIEGEL, it is signed by all three parliamentary groups and was unanimously adopted by the SPD parliamentary group on Monday afternoon. The Senate is therefore to engage in talks with the new federal government and thus work towards a ban procedure.

Furthermore, Bremen, in consultation with other federal states, is to initiate a Federal Council initiative in parallel in order to apply for a ban procedure at the Federal Constitutional Court via a majority in the Federal Chamber.

"We do not want to be accused of the fact that it is too late for this at some point," said SPD parliamentary group leader Mustafa Güngör to SPIEGEL. The basis is the classification of the AfD as "protected right-wing extreme" by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. "At the latest, we now know assured that the AfD is threatening our freedom-democratic basic order. Our coalition in Bremen therefore does not let up and continues to push for the initiation of a ban procedure."

The amendment to the preurgent request to the Bremen Parliament Mustafa Güngör and the SPD parliamentary group, Henrike Müller and the parliamentary group Alliance 90/The Greens, as well as Sofia Leonidakis, Nelson Janßen and the parliamentary group Die Linke have signed.
