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!

LMAO. If the dems did this, the maga cunts would be like "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" but daddy dumpy does it, and they're probably rejoicing.

[–] Uranus_Hz@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 hours ago

But seriously, how is that supposed to work? Is the USPS supposed to open all the envelopes and determine if the voters are registered?

[–] jve@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

April.. ah what the fuck

[–] core@leminal.space 25 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Well thats election interference

I just instructed the president to lick my balls. I don’t think he will though.

Their username contains “bill”, so maybe they're Clinton, possibly aka Bubba, in which case according to the Epstein files Trump may have already blown him, unless Bubba was the horse...

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 4 points 2 hours ago

I think he only rapes girls tho

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Good point.

[–] rangber@lemmy.zip 10 points 8 hours ago

Are you Benjamin Netanyahu? Because he would.

[–] chahn.chris@piefed.social 79 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

So the USPS doesn’t have to do this, they don’t report to the president, and I don’t think this is in any way legal.

If the postmaster general follows this order I would hope anyone in Congress could haul him in and have him arrested.

States run elections, period, and this is blatant election tampering.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 32 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

The postmaster was appointed during trump's first term and was constantly trying to destroy the USPS then, and has been trying since.

They are sitting on a huge pension fund that team trump wants to embezzle or spend on war.

Biden admin did not push to get rid of him, so this was part of a bipartisan finance driven plan to destroy the USA.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 13 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

One more Biden/Democratic failure. They had four years to get rid of that traitor who was systematically destroying the USPS, and after trying absolutely nothing, they were out of ideas, and he's STILL there. They aren't any more effective when they have power, than when they don't. Fucking LOSERS.

[–] AWTM_James@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

He's not still there though. But don't worry! He was replaced by an equally shitty bootlicker

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, but it's just one more major example of how infuriatingly weak the Biden administration was. They didn't even try for justice at all, or attempt to avoid an even worse future For America. Literally nothing. Even with the Insurrection, they only punished the foot soldiers, and NONE of the leaders, who should have been hanged.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (2 children)

Yep. Legally they couldn't fire him, and they prided themselves on following the law. Trump regime has no such qualms and breaks the law with impunity daily, knowing that it will take years for challenges to work their way through the court system, and then finally wind up at the corrupt Supreme Court which will take their side.

[–] 7101334@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

they prided themselves on following the law.

Except international law against genocide, occupation, and human rights violations.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Somehow MAGAs get anything they want, and Dems cant figure out how to get ANYTHING they want.

Biden couldn't fire DeJoy directly, but he appointed a majority of board directors who could fire him, and then they decided to not remove him. Choosing appointees who will carry out the presidents agenda is a primary responsibility, and Biden seriously blew it. Again. I understand why it didn't occur to him, he could barely remember his name, but he had a whole team which should have been picking up the slack, and they obviously failed.

And even if his administration can be excused for that bit of incompetence, he could have removed DeJoy "for cause," such as inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance, all of which he's been criminally guilty.

They had multiple LEGAL options do get rid of him, and MAGAs would have availed themselves of all of them, and then some, but Biden couldn't do the bare minimum of vetting his appointees for those who were committed to his agenda.

Dems are OBSSESSED with being more polite to corrupt treasonous genocidal pedophiles, than fulfilling their Constitutional responsibilities to their own voters, who are desperate for real action from their elected representatives.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Not to mention Merrick Garland. 😩

Just like other past irregularities, mild repurcussions after the fact is too late when the election is already stolen.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 8 points 9 hours ago

Not in Trump's America.

Elected by Trump.

No consequences.

Donny needs to fuck off and not be alive.

Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.

White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

We really need to start melting them down.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 235 points 15 hours ago (25 children)

One of the great failings of this government is not providing a punishment for repeatedly issuing unconstitutional orders. He has exactly zero incentive to stop.

[–] Pulsar@lemmy.world 65 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Our Congress has allowed a lawless president to do whatever he wanted. It is a MAGA coup dresses as Republicans.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 35 points 12 hours ago

This is pretty much the Republican project all along.

And mine still hasn't been processed yet so the USPS may have it (for our primary). Fuck.

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago (5 children)

UHM, THEY LEGALLY CANT??? 😭

[–] Ravel@sh.itjust.works 18 points 9 hours ago

He can't legally rape children either but that didn't stop him.
