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 about 25th amendmenting or 14th amendmenting or Article 5ing?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

fun fact, all those failing is why the founders added the 2nd ammendment.

No. this is not an endorsment of civil war or assassination- it's a warning. if you remove all legal avenues for justice... then there's only illegal avenues, and eventually people will be pushed to pursue those.

I mean, hell, look at the list of grievances in the Declaration of Independence and what happened next. Violence is quintessentially American and a foundational part of our history. Those who've benefited from extended periods of peace may have forgotten that. "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time..." and all that.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

absolutely.

Guess my point is, if Jeffries is unwilling to puruse those legal avenues, he's part of the problem and needs to go. Same with Schumer. (and maybe even more so with Schumer.)

The four boxes of liberty if I remember correctly.

The soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and finally the ammo box. In that order.

Holy fucking shit! Why not? Because AIPAC/Isreal controls him

I'm ok if we work around him to fix shit while prepping the case that sends him to jail.

yeah fair point. we need to get the dems a majority but we also badly need to get these centrist do-nothings out of power and off Aipacs tit or they will only do what Israel wants, which is to keep trump empowered.

When asked if impeachment was a top priority, Jeffries said “of course not” during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

“I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader added. 

“We believe in this country, you work hard, you play by the rules. You should be able to live an affordable life, a comfortable life, in fact, to live the good life, and that means a good paying job and good housing, good health care, good education for your children, and when it’s all said and done, a good retirement,” he added.

He's got a point. Step one: remove Jeffries. Step two: remove Trump. Also remove Schumer ASAP.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Pretty lame of him.
