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!

Chief Justice John Roberts warned against personal attacks on the judiciary, telling an audience Tuesday that while criticism of opinions is fair game, “personally directed hostility” is dangerous and must stop.

Roberts did not mention Donald Trump by name and, as he so often does, he went out of his way to stress that the attacks he was referring to were coming from “not just any one political perspective.” However, the chief justice’s admonishment came weeks after Trump said that justices who ruled against his sweeping tariffs were an “embarrassment to their families.”

I would submit that hostility towards conservative judges needs to increase.

[–] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 7 points 2 hours ago

Actually, feeling a way about another citizen for betraying the shared values we were taught, irrespective of that citizens education or judiscial ascenency, is dope as shit!

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 27 points 4 hours ago

He can go fuck himself.

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 15 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Surely small, regular violences committed by one person toward 340,000,000 people merit a large violence against that one person in retaliation?

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 52 minutes ago

Systematic dismantling of democracy is not a small violence.

Stop requisitioning hostility then, materfucker.

[–] TheTimeKnife@lemmy.world 41 points 5 hours ago

Roberts is such a dishonest jackass.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 hours ago

John Roberts can go fuck himself.

It deserves saying more than once.

[–] turdburglar@piefed.social 6 points 3 hours ago

or else what?

eat a shit pie, enabler.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

Maybe eat shit fuck face.

[–] justalittleguy@lemdro.id 74 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Idk man maybe you shouldn't have given immunity to the guy who's given to attacking anyone who doesn't bend over and take his micro dick

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

My god is that the consequences of my own actions I hear?!?!??!?

It's nice to see roberts admit he's turned the court completely away from the Constitution and is now purely a political actor serving as the activist for Republicans.
He deserves every hostility he gets from every American he has betrayed in order to enrich himself and his buddies. Families are suffering because of him, and he doesn't think he deserves their hate?

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 52 points 6 hours ago

The hostility will continue until immunity is removed.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 hours ago

Lifetime appointments make second amendment solutions the only recource for citizens.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 hours ago

The Supreme Court is illegitimate

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 46 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe they need to start doing their jobs, first.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 6 points 4 hours ago

They are. They don't work for us.

[–] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 5 hours ago

Judges have always been a toss up in the US. Most of the time, their job has been taking bribes and protecting the interests of the orphan crushing rich.

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago

Drop dead you traitorous cunt.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Seems as though those who turn hostilities toward society find society turning hostilities toward them. Stop protecting a lawless, pedophile wannabe king. The Roberts court is a treasonous embarrassment.

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 6 points 4 hours ago

Hmm! Has he THOUGHT about making Rulings using the Constitution to STOP the Attacks? That MIGHT Work?

[–] whatalute@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

Maybe if Roberts hadn't been so busy sucking off daddy donvict over the years then trump wouldn't have built up his insane expectation that the Supreme Court is there to do his bidding. But of course to Roberts...it's really only the people tired of being forced to witness to all of his court's dick sucking who are big meanies to him. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes Roberts.

[–] Darbage@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

The dogshit decisions have got to stop

[–] I_Jedi@lemmy.today 10 points 6 hours ago

It's funny how evidence always tends to disappear...

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

He should start a group. Do zoom calls. Make signs. Hats. Shirts. Protesting stuff.

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 hours ago

But not black shirts, thats terrorism

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Actually, it doesn’t. Is it illegal if it doesn’t escalate to a crime?

[–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago

I think think that individual cares about laws anyways
