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!

Does that apply to cops and ICE
Of course it doesn't. It only applies to murder - you know, the thing black people and minorities do - not heroic acts in the line of duty, like cops and ICE do, or unfortunate accidents and self-defense, like white republicans commit.
Only if someone kills one of them.
Anybody who (still) doesn't see the parallels to the rise of fascism in Germany needs to get their brains examined.
While no federal executions have been carried out since Trump returned to office, he oversaw a flurry of 13 executions in the waning months of his first term in late 2020 and January 2021.
Those executions made Trump the country's most prolific executioner in over a century, and broke with an 130-year-old precedent of pausing executions amid a presidential transition.
The last execution came just five days before he left office in January 2021.
Damn, only the Brits would call that "a flurry"
He also called for the death penalty for the wrongly accused central park 5. it's been 20 years, and he remains the same
What about election interference and felony business fraud?
Trump is the law. It is, by definition, not illegal if Trump does it. No, I don't believe that, but that's the excuse people use when God does something immoral in the Bible, and Trump's followers believe Trump is God.
Was that before or after he ~~tried to~~ raped children?
Edit: I guess it still does count as rape even if your dick doesn't work.
Because we all know that death penalties have a perfect track record. Once the death penalty comes by, murders all drop to zero, that's why there haven't been any murders in the US for decades now
In my experience, consequences don't deter neurotypical people. It is actually very annoying to my autistic brain. I'm very unlikely to break any rules intentionally because I'm afraid of consequences. Meanwhile, everyone else seems very nonchalant about breaking rules even when potential consequences are severe.
That's what I meant, deathpenalties have never stopped crime
How about the death penalty for pedophiles?
Careful, project 2025 is calling for that but their intent is to use it to execute LGBT people and not actual pedophiles
"And that's a very strong preventative."
Cite expert sources that say... oh, you're an expert? Okay, guess that's good enough.
We got his death penalty right here.
