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!

Yeah, that guy kitted out in body armour carrying a massive cockrifle is just a secretary, bro. Helping with the paperwork, brah.
Where those 2nd amendment rights Americans so viciously protect?
Oh right it was just for show. A country full of cowards. All those history books and films, starting to think it was exaggerated. Ain't no way Americans are brave.
Don’t be surprised. But those 2A people…all racists. They are the fucking nazis that support the actions of the temu tyranny we are living under. They are okay with the talking Cheeto puff taking control of the NG and deploying troops, including active duty, cause it hurts brown people. They will just lay in their beds, having sexual fantasies of musk and trump while whispering no homo, and ignore all of this. Even when they have no rights left and Trump has fully take over the government. They are okay with all of this.
So they want to kill all the cheap labor based businesses in core red States? Congratulations. Smart decision. This will definitely boost the next election results.
Aww that’s cute that you think there’s going to be a next election. And if there is, I guarantee they’ve already gerrymandered and election machine tampered it into the result they want.
They. Do. Not. Care. About. A. Next. Election.
They don't plan on having a "next" election. And those businesses will have their workers clearly supplied to them on contract from the federal labor camps they're already working to build.
That is a big possibility, yes. They did the same here 80 years ago, and you know where that ended.
I'm really wondering what the real reason is behind the anti-immigrant actions. Sure, racism is part of it, but there has to be a money aspect for somebody because of all the extra business.
This is generating a ton of jobs in louisiana, which is basically the last slave state as-is with how their prisons are run anyway.
The private prison executives had a leaked meeting where they celebrate Trump's victory.
Fun fact, the USA still practices slavery by making prisoners exempt from the 13th Amendment which in all other cases abolished slavery. A lot of industry is constructed by convicts for cheap cheap.
and we will spit in the food of every one of them if we get the chance to.
Thank goodness—soon all us purportedly white people will be totally safe from the scourge of all the darker-skinned people cleaning our homes, our yards & hotel rooms…/s
