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!

What we need is the complete eradication of all government staff appointed by or associated with the Trump administration. Every Republican who voted with him, every Democrat who did the same.

Once that is done, a Manhattan Project sized initiative of judicial reprisal is enacted towards every single person who enabled the Trump administration. The Heritage Foundation is raided and staff is brought up on charges of insurrection. Fox News and the entirety of the right wing noise machine starts facing hard legal, financially devastating consequences for deliberately lying to the public. They, and all other news outlets are kept on a short leash until the heat death of the fucking universe. Corporate personhood is revoked, corporate lobbying is made illegal, and billionaires are taxed until they are brought to heel.

None of this will matter until the people responsible are fleeing for their lives.

Yeah, that isn't going to happen. The billionaires are getting exactly what they want. The Christians are getting a lot of what they want. They're going to keep him in power for as long as possible.

Oh, yeah. There won't be an election. Or if there is, the fix is in.

We've been here before so many times. France is the only country with any mettle. The rest of Europe is going to wail about "not escalating things" and there will go Greenland, and effectively NATO, which is just what... huh which country wants that gone again? Surely not a country that has been shown to manipulate Trump.

Will never happen, the Republicans would have to admit all his executive orders are tainted. They kept Reagan's dementia quiet for 2 years.

Who's the next scapegoat puppet they have lined up?

If they ever remove this ass from office, it will probably just be the final compromise to somehow still not release the epstein files.
