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!

it would shatter precedent and could set off lawsuits
Lawsuits would be useless at that point, absolute performance theater.
Ceuta in Spain was just a trial to see how fired up would be the public reaction. They managed to organize 60,000 young men to crush the border in Spain.
While trump is not in great terms with Mexico gov, he’s certainly in good terms with other fascists in South America. If he pull out something like this on the US land border 2x 3x times bigger would be enough for him to declare national security emergency.

Once it became clear that they would not be granted asylum or allowed passage to the mainland, the overwhelming majority voluntarily returned to Morocco, leaving roughly 2,000 non-Moroccan nationals (predominantly from sub-Saharan Africa and Asia) being processed in Ceuta
If Trump tries to invoke national security to take over federal elections, it would shatter precedent and could set off lawsuits and protests across the country
Oh no... not lawsuits and protests! That will spell doom for him. No way he could ever recover from that.
News at 6: Trump and his Heritage Foundation pals do more illegal shit with zero repercussions.
Establishment politicians: We fOlLow the LawS, dRasTic mEasUrEs are AntI-aMeRicAn!
Trump and Co.:
They've been openly talking about this for a decade, Trump himself has said this exact thing dozens of times.
Do it, I know where every person in my town appointed by him lives, I know the location of the local republican office. If he does this, it's war and Im not fallowing the Geneva convention. So go ahead, try.
Yah more tough talk from an American shocker. If this happened your line would be moved down and it would be if he does ,,,,,, then I'll act.
