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!

They think all these Generals are on their side, but Generals value competence and loyalty, and they know what Treason looks like.
These MAGA dumbfucks haven't realized that they are gathering ALL the military high command together, so they can start their military uprising.
That's fucking hilarious. These same generals are perfectly okay with deploying troops against American citizens in Portland.
How do you know that? How do you know that they haven't been stewing like the rest of us, slowly getting hotter and hotter?
Now they get to meet with their peers, and find out they've ALL been thinking the same things, and they want to come up with a plan.
Frankly, that scenario is as plausible as the one in which they toss away every military dream they ever had, to be recorded in history as the weakass generals who let the Nazis take over the world.
If there is no coup now, our military leadership is 100% on board with killing US citizens. They would be just as bad as the "weakass generals who let the nazis take over".
Let's see what happens, shall we?
Trump and Hegseth would have no trouble ordering the military to fire on American citizens, they are confirmed psychopaths. I'm not convinced that the majority of Generals would follow that rule. I suspect that MOST would not.
I admire your optimism. I suspect that the vast majority of them would open fire on american babies if Trump told them to.
How do I know?
I've been paying attention.
