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!

Yep, I expect he’ll do one or more of SF, NYC, or Boston next. Probably Boston, because it’s smaller. Then again, the optics and actual operational details of trying to subjugate the city that’s known for being the first major flashpoint of the original American revolution could get… shall we say… interesting. We’ve got a lot of very smart people out here that would be Very Not Down with a fascist takeover. And intelligent, angry, highly motivated people can and will fuck you up.
Would love to see the "crime statistics" justification for sending troops to Boston, too, like they've been doing for DC, LA, and Chicago.
"Boston is an anarchist hellscape, there are only 70 other major American cities with worse rates of violent crime. Look here, a black Bostonian woman with a 2-day-old Twitter profile tweeted how badly she wants us to come and save Boston from all the gangs and the drugs. You've got people living in fear of a horrifying 'green monster' that no one's managed to deal with for over 100 years, can you believe it? And no, we're not taking any questions at this time about the other 5 cities in Texas or 4 cities in Tennessee that have significantly worse crime stats."
Maybe he'll invade New York on 9/11
