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.

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.

Ok. unpopular opinion time but this is kinda dumb as congress has a specific process for removing a president which was put in specifically for a president behaving like trump. impeachment. the 25th relies on the rest of the presidents cabinet having balls but trump requires they leave them at the door when they enter his administration.
If you recall, he has been impeached twice already and yet...here we still are.
yeah and that is because of congressmen who are derelict in their duty. other congressmen should keep on doing their duty and bring up impeachment charges for everything he has done. An individual violating the constitution can't be helped and even a department is something that happens but when the administration does not punish and remdiate the violations as part of their oversight then it becomes an administrative policy to violate the constitution and that means the president himself is now responsible for violating the constitution. This outside of actual instructions for vioating the constitution and disengenously arguing that they are not when they clearly are. Many replublicans are wealthy and educated and benefit greatly from a stable rule of law society. I am hoping that it is trickling in on them that not only trump must go but republicans do. That conservates need to rebuild and find some actual priniciples if they ever hope to have a rich enough society to skim off of.
