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!

No, he doesnt. If he did, he would have used it. People who can do something, dont make public statements. They just do it. You notice how Trump talks shit 24/7, yet its all that. Talking shit. This Carr dude is the same thing, they all are. All talk, no cock.
But lets say he does, lets say he makes an order to shut down ABC. Congrats, he just gave ABC billions of dollars in law suit money. And they are back on the air anyway, and he most likely goes to playboy prison for abuse of power.
The problem with the culture wars, is that you are all so far gone you dont trust the system. You dont, they dont, all you all think everyone else is cheating. Notice how in 2020, they all said you stole the election? And in 2024, you said they stole it. The system is just fine. Its just as fucked as it always way, but its fine. You can trust it. Its not slooooooowwwwwwwww. At some point, the Epstein files come out. At some point, Trump gets done for raping kids, colluding with a convicted paedophile and giving her a reward for perverting the course of justice(Her crime meant that she had no legal right to be transferred). And the list goes on and on. But eventually, it will all sort itself out. Unless of course, you stop talking about the Epstein files because some dog shit comedian got sacked for not being funny...
