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 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.
  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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

That's what you're complaining about? You guys are fucking lucky that people aren't just walking up to you and shooting you in the head. They aren’t human.

which amendment is the guarantee against soldiers being quartered in homes?

Does it matter when your government wipes its ass and balls with that constitution? At this point it's a paper in a museum, nothing more.

The trump admin is now pulling at the second amendment FFS. Not that I like that amendment, I fucking hate guns and they should be prohibited world wide, but o know how important the second amendment is to magas! It's the fucking load bearing wall under the foundation of all of their beliefs. Trump doesn't even care about the "rights" of his own supporters anymore (really REALLY bad move for a dictator wannabe, even dictators have to answer yo groups of people) so do you think he'll care about the 3rd, even for a second?

I guarantee you he won't even know what the 3rd amendment says

Yes, it gives you just cause to seek retribution by any means necessary.

That'll just be the next one conservatives invalidate anyway.

If they haven't already.

Idk man I don't want to give any conservatives credit, but theres been some pretty hefty internal backlash with this whole anti-2nd amendment rhetoric they've been pushing.

[–] oopsgodisdeadmybad@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago

Until it settles back down, the fact that it's no longer reliably functional is kinda my point. If they internally work to restore it that's fine, but while ICE is still dropping bodies for fun, it's kinda moot for now.

I still wish what we call conservatives were an entirely extinct species anyway. I don't know what kind of moves would need to happen, but this version of far right simply shouldn't exist. But I'm getting ready for a whole other speech starting, so I'll cut it off there.

That only makes it illegal if the property owner doesn't explicitly allow them. Public bathrooms and businesses can technically refuse them entry, but local places are likely the only ones that would do so, as corporate chains are trying to buddy up to the Trump admin.
