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!

The Department of Justice (DOJ) will potentially treat opponents of President Donald Trump’s policies as “domestic terrorists,” according to a leaked memo from Attorney General Pam Bondi to all U.S. law enforcement agencies.

The document, which was first published over the weekend by investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein, appears to represent the first attempt to implement Trump’s calls to target left-wing activists and others who protest his administration’s policies as “terrorists” affiliated with antifa, an anti-fascist movement that often serves as a boogeyman for the right.

Just FYI, you can use open secrets.org to find people that gave significant amounts of money to Trump, then cross reference that information with local property records to get their address.

If someone is giving tens of thousands directly to Trump's campaign, you can pretty much guarantee that they have firearms, jewelry, cash, etc at their residence.

Not that anyone should do anything illegal. Remember the golden rule. Do unto others as they would do unto you

Pam Blondi should be getting frog-marched right into prison.

I mean, in a sane universe where the law actually fucking mattered.

Obvious attack line: "Sensitive baby scared of criticism. Cry more, it won't make your hyperbolic language any more effective when we can all see how scared you are of opposing views."

Been waiting a long time for someone to just call out his microdick energy and follow it up with how you're going to materially improve people's lives when he's gone.

Just fash things

The level of scrutiny and ridicule levelled at an entity must be double the ferocity it pursues protection from them.

I can’t wait for all the public beheadings

When? I demand to know WHEN? and how? I guess realistically, we won't see detailed revolution plans on the internet but I doubt they're happening offline either. I've seen a lot of comments that seem to think revolution and prosecution/execution of the Trump administration is inevitable but I don't see any way it's ever going to happen
