Rules:

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.

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.

The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution states: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”

Unconstitutional actions ordered by the POTUS. Are we ready to impeach yet?

Leon, according to his family, never had so much as a parking ticket — a contention borne out by court records.

Oh yeah, get that guy outta here. He’s a real threat. But all the rapists and child traffickers running our government are cool though 👍

I’d like to bring back the tradition of sending traitors to islands. Which island should American traitors live on?

I hear they built a nice humane new prison in florida with some a fun alliterative name

The titanic.

We dont need to raise it up or anything. Just leave it where its at and send them over.

They seem to be pretty fixated on Alcatraz...

I'm in favor of deporting traitors to Antarctica. You know, uphold the old British tradition of sending prisoners to Australia.

I've always been bummed about no one trying to seriously colonize Antarctica. With my proposal, Trump and his buddies can try colonizing it firsthand.

Adak Island, or one of its smaller neighbors.

Can states bring kidnapping charges against federal agents?

The feds would just argue the supremacy clause, tell the filers to get fucked, then kidnap the filers to Sudan.

The man was granted asylum! He’s 82 god damn years old!

I would love to see a popular uprising where we string up the thugs that are snatching people off the streets. They don’t need unnecessary things like “lawyers” or “trials”. A can of gas and a match are pretty cheap. So is rope.

I once read about scaphism, for those who dont know, don't read about scaphism. I thought not a person on earth would deserve that. He deserves that

I think it's more likely that California begins a secession movement that don dipshit to get impeached.
