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!

Losing everywhere in courts, so now you think you can just sidestep them by changing the constitution? Lolz

Stephen Miller is an evil villain pulled directly out of some children's cartoon show.

I don't think they have the right to take that away.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

They don't have the right (because it's illegal) to do a lot of the stuff they've done and yet here we are.

but they think they do and that is dangerous

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

I'm not sure they think they do legitimately. They probably don't care about that; they think they can try it and might get away with it for a while.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

They don't have the right to deny due process either. Still happening.

"privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it."

That's the wording in the constitution. They just say that undocumented migrants amount to an invasion and they can suspend it.

It's not like the supreme court is going to override them on that.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

I dunno.

The appeals court straight up said it is in no way, shape, or form an invasion, and they have to have their day in court no if, and, or buts.

I think it's 7-2 against trump.

They have any and every "right" that no one denies them by actual force of action. The courts will wag their finger and the administration will say "You're a Marxist, I don't have to listen to you. Fuck you."

:(

Is it "losing* if there's no consequences? Lol Bro is winning in 4k

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Right... so anarchy it is then.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago

Sounds like it.

For the new people: Anarchy just means no hierarchy. Not being a dick. Remember that.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Anarchy should always be the goal.

I think you mean disobedience or resistance?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Hah, well, I was kind of paraphrasing a quote in my head I guess. But yes. You are correct.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Anarchy for the average person is not about political anarchy but just a word to mean chaos

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which is why we must correct it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

Oh heard. Just thought it might be a linguistic issue

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

If that happens I imagine we get a few more people whose red lines have been crossed.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

They go this route then the protests every weekend here will become a different kind of rodeo.

If I'm there to peacefully protest and all of a sudden they can grab you a basically kill you (because let's face it it you get sent to El Salvador or Libia was it? You are dead. You are not getting out), people start packing and right fully so. Miller is a fucking moron and a scum bag.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Good! The Founders CLEARLY only Wrote the Constitution to Protect SCHOOL SHOOTERS and LITERALLY nothing Else! So EVERY OTHER PART of the Constitution like writ of habeas corpus can ACTUALLY be IGNORED!

BUT you DARE NOT IGNORE the Part that allows ME, a PRO LIFE REPUBLICAN, to SHOOT UP AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Because of course they are

When they talk about being the party of Lincoln this isn't what I had in mind...
