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!

Probably best to incite trump to really obvious criminality. Like using the secret service to take someone out. He's stupid enough to fall for it and maybe then the majority would be 'woke' and get rid of him.
Would it even matter though? The criminality is really obvious as it is. When he said he could shoot someone in Times Square or whatever and not lose support, that was an uncharacteristically lucid, accurate and honest statement.
Maybe not, but I live in hope that for most people there are lines that not even cult leader can cross.
We've crossed those lines a dozen times and he still hasn't lost support.
Has the criminality not been obvious thus far?
To us. Not to stupid, ignorant and brainwashed people. Or not in a way which is important to them. I mean, most rich people have engaged in some kind of criminality, or what should be criminal. Tax fraud.
Fascists want to boil the frog slowly lest it hops out of the pot.
Force his hand, either everyone will know full stop that he's really Cheeto Mussolini or he doesn't and keeps losing momentum. We fight this in the courts because that's the only check there is right now. Hopefully there are elections next year and enough seats go far left dem or independent and the centrist dems start realizing their faces are next.
Either way, get to know your neighbors. Form or join community gardens. Start a neighborhood watch or cleanup action. Go to your local civic board and government meetings. Elect people who represent you and your interests locally at the mayor and state rep level.
We're all going to need to help each other out soon. We keep us safe.
