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!

because USSS is more concerned with doing their job than doing krasnov's bidding, so i'm guessing he's trying to phase out their security detail. just speculation, but i'm betting there have been times he's said "rough them up" and they've said "fuck you no"
It really is ridiculous how much they're cribbing off the nazi playbook
the authoritarian/whatever they've been calling it through the centuries i specialize in early 1800s/fascist playbook has been the same every time. i'm used to studying the religious rebellions so i look for the anabaptist/mormon/heaven's gate/people's temple/moonie/rajneeshee similarities (and dear gods are there a lot. dear gods that's a lot of cults to think up off the top of my head) so like, i'm charlie kelly over here with his cork board
Oh i know the fascists have the same tired playbook of themes and markers but the way that the yanks can't even home grow their specific sequences of events is insane
so like, all of the creative people over here are on the other side. if our side had wanted a fascism it would have at least had drag queens and mustache motorcycle parades with rainbow streamers and shit. patrols run by shriners driving around with their fezzes in the gokarts and shit, looking for i dont know, illegal horses and poor dental hygiene, children with cancer who need portation to the hospital to get their cancer treated. i'm really not very good at fascism.
we elected the stupidest people
