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!

Top Trump official Stephen Miller's recent declaration that anyone who "preaches hate for America" will face deportation has ignited alarm online, with critics warning the statement disregards First Amendment protections.

Social media users and legal analysts raised immediate concerns, pointing out that expressing dissent or criticism of the government is protected under the First Amendment. Some worried the administration was veering into authoritarian territory.

The backlash has reignited broader debates over the limits of free speech, especially as civil liberties fall under scrutiny. While immigration enforcement remains a core theme of President Donald Trump's platform, critics are increasingly questioning whether rhetoric like Miller's is a precursor to more aggressive suppression of dissent.

Oh, I'm sorry, bigoted dipshit. Forgot you need to specify exactly what level of stupidity someone's on or you'll get pendanted to death

Bigoted dipshit? You realise a country is represented by their government right, especially a democracy? Your people voted for him and if he decides to genocide others, torture them, start wars, annex other countries or do whatever the fk evil shit, it reflects your people as a whole. Why should other countries give you the GRACE of being spared your precious feelings when their people are being attacked and suffering the consequences of YOUR government's actions? You're a priviledged asshole if you think people should GRACE you with their fucking patience and goodwill when your government is attacking them!!!

Yes, bigoted dipshit.

Assuming all Americans support their government and treating them poorly because of it is being a bigoted dipshit, simple as

And the dissenting comments to that opinion all read almost exactly like how MAGAts talk, it's funny and gross how much like them you are

Nobody said all Americans support their government you reading comprehension challenged moron, we said your government reflects your people. Since so many voted for him and still support him and since you lived in a DEMOCRACY your government represented your PEOPLE (that's literally what the word DEMOCRACY stands for); there is clearly something wrong with your people's fkin culture. Just like there was something wrong with German culture in the 1940s (DUH) and pointing it out and having unfavourable views of the current American culture and people is NOT bigotry. You live in a dictatorship and there's way too many people going with it to say it isn't supported on a wide scale. Wake the fk up. My husband is literally American and he understands this concept that people outside the US will see Americans a certain way, because so many are letting it happen. What is wrong with you?

Edit: That user has a history of getting their comments removed by mods AND telling others that they are "dumb" or lack reading comprehension when THEY are the ones misrepresenting what is being said (hence they get downvoted to hell when they do it). Talk about projection. What a joke. Blocked and forgotten.
