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!

MODERATORS
They spent decades stacking the courts to dictate the rule of law and make any of their actions nice and legal.
They spent decades establishing a propaganda machine so support wouldn't wain as they upgrade the dog whistles to dog sirens and implement a Christian Fascism dictatorship.
Why anyone is surprised by this is the deeply troubling part.
I mean it’s not the only deeply troubling part, but having grown up attending many youth oriented religious events that constantly preached stacking the courts, electing strong Christian leaders, and generally ‘taking back America for Jesus’, I’m not surprised at all but I am terrified
There are traitors running the federal fucking government
Another blaring conflict of interest has struck the supreme court.
Good thing there’s a well regulated militia under the impression that it’s raison d’être is to prevent a malicious government.
Edit: is
Sorry. Closest we've got is the John Brown Gun Club.
did you say "prevent" instead of "support"?
Thanks,
-the militia
How is that a “house owned by Justice Alito” not “Justice Alito’s house”?
He probably has multiple houses
Does that make it not his house?
If it's a rental property, you would own it but maybe not consider it "your house" colloquially
It wouldn’t be your home. It would still be your house.
Ok? I'm not defending this shit bag, just trying to explain the weird headline phrasing.
Who’s accusing you of defending him?
You're being weirdly pedantic about everything here. I'm trying to figure out why.
Keep trying. I won’t devolve to name calling. Have a nice day.
that's a lot of "ifs"
.... 1?
Alito should move to fucking Russia and take all the MAGATs with him.
Ye Olde Americans: The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
Contemptorary Americans: Voting will fix everything despite every election for many decades seeing us slide further to the right regardless of who wins.
What do you suggest then smart guy.
Watering the tree.
Like the founding fathers wanted
Gotta be ok with the 2nd for that to work, unfortunately most of my fellow lefties would rather it be abolished and allow the state to have the monopoly on force
Add 4
Our criminal supporting court
Piece of shit
Banner week for Alito.
Ba-dum-tsss…
How much does he weigh, and how sturdy is that flagpole? I’m just asking questions
I miss when we would publicly eliminate insurrectionists.
if there had been an ounce of melanin in that crowd, it would have been a blood bath.
It sucks nothing will be done about this. Dude should be removed.
So the pine tree is their swastika, got it, good to know.
Photo?
So, yeah. AP says the Times has 3 pictures. Where that at? Where's the evidence and WTF is an Appeal to Heaven Flag?
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/us/justice-alito-flag-appeal-to-heaven.html
NYT has multiple pictures. It's a formerly forgotten Revolutionary War era flag that's been adopted by extremists trying to overthrow the US government and establish a Christian theocracy.
