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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

If only Democrats had the fucking balls - if/when they have power again - to try to do the same to Melania.
We shouldn't normalize denaturalizing citizens.
We should throw them in giga jail for the rest of their lives.
Not a peep from Schumer or Jeffries. They are collaborators, no different from in Vichy France.
If you don't like a political opponent it's a perfectly normal legitimate strategy to raid their home, demonize them and get them deported.
Hey, uh, guys I just woke up from a fever dream where America became fascistic. Guys? GUYS?
Too many people think that fascistic is fasctastic.

Have any leaders or top democrats held press conferences or anything denouncing these actions or showing support for her? It seems like they are just leaving her on her own to deal with this which is pretty shitty..
Unfortunately for Omar, the billionaires who own Dem leadership don’t want any social dems in congress. It’s too popular an idea and billionaires fear the populace taking back power.
She’s a progressive, not a social democrat
the billionaires who own Dem leadership don’t want any social dems in congress.
The more the rich tighten the screws, the more Jean-Paul Marat seems reasonable.
You think democrats and liberals oppose this?
Yes

The fuck sticks won't stop until wr have gas chambers again. I'm so tired of humans. How fucking hard is leaving other people alone?
Very hard, when they're brown.
Where the fuck are the fucking Democrats springing into action?
Chuck Schumer has said nothing. He would happily watch the entire squad be subjected to this.
Neoliberals are conservatives. That's how we ended up here.
Conservatism is fascism and it has infested both parties. Allowing conservatives to continue existing among us will always lead to fascism.
Our push to the left must be merciless and unending. Normally, peace cannot cure fascism. We must accept that violence may be necessary to survive this.
Conservatism is not fascism. In no understanding of either definition could either be considered congruent with the other. Fascism is an extreme form of conservatism, as you’re well aware.
Normally, peace cannot cure fascism. We must accept that violence may be necessary to survive this.
Yup. When is the last time we saw dem leadership organize the party effectively, or release meaningful pushback to culture war rhetoric? It’s nada all the time with these clowns. Fucking Schumer and Jeffries apply all their efforts to serving billionaires and are happy to be unpopular as long as they get to lead the losing party. I’m sick to death of hearing how brilliantly Pelosi handled Republicans during her tenure— she literally fucking led us right to where we are now. Fuck anyone who serves billionaire interests.

"Reportedly"? Like it isn't obvious? As in, it's obvious they're trying to eliminate their political opposition by any means and this is the first step of that?
"I'm sure Kamala would have been just as bad, because something something shitlib"
-- the purity ponies
But it's it really the first step. Feel like they have been making plenty of steps already.
