Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

With this all out attack on American Citizens. It makes me wonder, if we're their enemy, who are their allies? And also why aren't more Heritage Foundation buildings and Republican Offices on fire?

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because the people that hate republicans are usually moral people and wreaking havoc and mayhem isn’t something we usually do.

You're going to have to because walking around with signs isn't going to stop this.

Their allies? White Racists, neo-Nazis, everyone who wants a dictatorship and the Russians. All of them are worthless shits.

This gets my 'I'm too scared to read' award for the day

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 49 points 2 days ago (16 children)

Read it and prepare to fight it. These cowards expect us to cower and hide. Resist.

[–] tisktisk@piefed.social 22 points 2 days ago (4 children)

You are most correct. We can no longer look away from the atrocities and hope they stop. Today all decent folks must be soldiers for humanity Thank you comrade

It's pretty vile. I don't blame you.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 60 points 2 days ago (9 children)

None of that explains how they plan to get around the Constitution, though...which is very clear in its interpretation.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 44 points 2 days ago

"What are you going to do about it?".

Just like everything else he does

[–] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 days ago (12 children)

You're forgetting something: laws and constitutions don't matter unless those in charge of enforcing it agree with it.

Enforcing laws, the Constitution, judgements from judges - all that is done by the executive.

When there's a fascist corrupt executive function, you get selective enforcement and convenient ignoring of parts of the law, serving the double effect of 1) keeping the corrupt executive in power and in control and 2) discrediting the institutions, furthering the corruption.

Yay.

In June, however, the Supreme Court expressly permitted the government to begin “developing and issuing public guidance about the executive’s plans to implement” Trump’s order. Acting on that decision, an immigration agency released the first stage of its “implementation plan” last Friday.

From the article. This is basically their plan for once the Supreme Court allows it.

Conservatism: where suffering and pain is the purpose.

It’s become a cult of evil.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Literally the people who founded the ideology directly refered to poor people as dirt/dirty. Conservatism is a cancer on the world and anyone who supports is just a broken, anti-social fuckwad and/or deeply stupid. Just a load of obvious evil.

Wow, what an "efficient" way to ruin people's lives. For no reason but the cruelty itself. The UN list of human rights has been ignored completely by most, if not all countries. But everybody is supposed to be entitled to a nationality. Otherwise, where the hell are you going to live? A small uninhabited unowned island? Antarctica? So, in a disturbingly normal turn of events, the government has infringed upon its residents human rights.

So if as an American, you were to lose your documentation, unless you are lily white, you can be contained by ICE.

Be scared.

I see withholding licenses and registrations as a tactic pigs are going to use in the future.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, ICE can still detain you if you’re lily white. Race is only an excuse to get started; they will deport dissidents with this eventually.

This horrific and vile, this is why I wish we could've gotten a different outcome with the election. More horrible news to add onto an ever-growing pile of shit. I wish my mom would've chosen to divorce my dad and took us to Germany...Fleeing this rotting nation would've been a boon!
