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!

If charging fascists for the murder they commit is wrong, then I don't want to be right.
I'm on the side of the protestors. Just like anyone with a brain. What do you think happens when those fascists get charged? They get pardoned by Trump, and there's nothing we can do about it. You act like the State Troopers would actually arrest ICE agents if Walz told them to. They wouldn't- most of them are on the same team as ICE. You're either intentionally acting naive, or you have no idea of the implications of what you suggest. Neither put you in a good light.
No you're not. You have given up, and for that, you deserve to lose. I don't want you on my team.
They get put in court, a place Trump's administration has been losing.
Further, don't you think it would benefit us to test our limits a bit? Stretch the legs, see how far they go. Every second of every day, Trump is doing something he's "not supposed to do."
If they get put in prison, that's a victory. If they get pardoned, that erodes public trust in the judicial system. Do you think a judicial system that cannot keep nazi corroborators within its prisons is worth respecting?
If they get pardoned, invoke the judicial equivalent of the filibuster. Bury them in paperwork. Lose the goddamn cell keys, I don't care. Make the ICE agent that comes to unlock the cell you won't open slip on a banana, film it, then hold a press conference where you and everyone else laugh at them. Nobody likes Trump. Use that to your advantage.
Damn. Got me. Guess I better join the Nazis /s
Idc if you want me on your team, idiot. We're stuck in this together. So cut your holier-than-thou act, and fuck yourself.
That's not how that works. If they faced murder charges in state court, the president can't pardon them. And don't give me that, "He will do it anyway" bullshit, because without charging them Trump wins no matter what. What are these implications you are talking about?
I hope no one on Lemmy sees me in a bad light. I would be shattered.
Tell that to the January 6thers.
What state did that happen in? What state crimes were they charged with? Last I saw there were 1500 people charged with a federal crime.
And Trump pardoned them
That's what I'm saying. Wtf don't you undertsand?
What do you think a governor's role and powers actually are? It doesn't seem like you have a clue.
