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!

Look at the numbers, they aren’t really deporting people in the numbers they should be according to their agenda. He capitulated on tariffs with China. Every week it’s a different fumble from his cabinet. Even the worst gifters of the MAGAspehere are starting to speak out against Trump’s corrupt behavior.
All their policies are being enacted via EO so they can and will be stricken down the moment another democrat takes power.
The biggest concern I have with this administration beyond the obvious human right violations of sending people to foreign gulags, is not the actions it’s taking by themself but rather the precent they are setting. The next democratic president, if they are really worried about fascism as they say, needs to give priority to dismantling the power of the executive and returning it to congress. But that probably won’t happen because they’re all power grubbing greedy assholes.
I think democrats need to look back and realize that the pre maga GOP was absolutely right when it said that state sovereignty should be preserved above all things. It is the strongest bulwark the US has against authoritarianism.
