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!

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.
Be careful hitting them too hard in the pockets as it could have pre-WW2 type economic effects amongst hundred of thousands of people who could get really violent and try to overthrow the government (again)
Just guillotine em and be done with it.
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.

If they ever remove this ass from office, it will probably just be the final compromise to somehow still not release the epstein files.
Who's the next scapegoat puppet they have lined up?
Maybe.... In 2027 👀
Blah, blah, blah.
Just like last time, no one did anything and this time will be no different.
The blind allegiance to power is too strong.
Dude defunded NPR and they still bootlick nonstop. The indoctrination is deep.
The problem is the world became to reliant on one country. I hope this means it won't happen again. But it well cause money consolidates.
Correct. Also permanent removal via 25th is actual harder than impeachment and removal because you will eventually need 2/3rds of each house of Congress. The 25th amendment is not a short circuit to impeachment.
What we need is Congress to signal to Trump a real, actual threat of impeachment. He would have to change course, and if he didn't then he should be removed

it's tiresome seeing all these "tHaT wAs ThE lAsT sTrAw" headlines for years and years, while he just keeps doing whatever tf bullshit he wants with zero consequence
Well if he's not careful, he might get SLAMMED.
It’s almost like the American “resistance” is a bunch of fucking cowards.
“But I have a family! But I have a job”
Go fuck yourself, so did literally everyone else who ever fought against great odds, you absolute clown.
All while still being very proud that "they" did something in ww2
Most people subconsciously know that they would get Charlie Kirk'd five minutes into their career as resistance fighters.
Maybe you muppets shouldn’t have dined out on “give me liberty or give me death” for two centuries if you just thought it sounded cool but didn’t really mean it.
Have you served or been involved in armed conflict before? Ever conducted or been involved with combat operations in any theater of asymmetrical warfare?
Edit: @WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca that was an earnest question. If it was you, I take it that down-vote means "no". However, I suppose there's nothing stopping you from saying "yes", and just lying about it.
