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 you made it this far into the new administration thinking you will have a future fair election, you need to take a good fucking look at the mirror and ask yourself how far you are willing to fight for your own future.
No one is going to save you. Waving signs and impotent chanting never made a difference. No one is going to fix this for you. It's going to take a collectively outwardly aggressive movement, in the spirit of the armed Black Panther party, to change this shit within your lifetime. Anything short of this you will never see get fixed until long after you die of old age.
If you are not willing to be aggressive in any way to help everyone get this ship back on course away from racists, Christian fascists, white supremacists, bible-thumping mega-church millionaires, lobbyists, and billionaires... Then you should leave.
And even IF you decide to leave, if this shit doesn't get fixed here, it will simply follow you where you go next.
Fascism is a fucking disease, you can't ask it nicely to go away. We literally had to have a global war to stop it.
And yet, as with any disease, outlook depends on many factors. The number of cells in the immune system that recognize an infection, for example, can radically alter its progression.
A sudden widespread immune response may be all that can save the organism following an initial exposure, but often a more targeted, adaptive, and coordinated immune response is possible later. It mostly depends on how much of the body recognizes the infection and does its part to block its spread.
This judge had a particularly crucial part and played it to a T~h~.
It takes a hell of a lot more courage to hold the line with your comrades, like this judge did by laying the groundwork needed for their future victory, than it does to
You use numbered lists and em dashes in your overly verbose reply.
Suspecting that either you're a bot or, no offense, extremely autistic.
Solid rebuke.
Not a single emdash or any sort of dash in that response, mate. A numbered list does not a bot make.
