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!

People can downvote this all they want, but this is actually true, and maybe you remember Trump's former-lawyer, Cohen, saying that he likes to do things the way mafia-bosses do, so his saying something like "it would be good if < someone > were to get permanently harmed" .. & then have his lackies/flunkies ( don't know which is which ) just do it, so that he never can be made-accountable for anything..
Yes, I expect a wave of murders to happen to opponents-of-Trump, within months or weeks..
The tipping-point is going to be crossed.
Yes, that kind of "dealing with" opponents is on the table.
People are too naive about what's going-on, making-believing that status-quo will continue forever, & they've got forever to undo what Project2025's doing..
It isn't about ruling the US of A for a 4-year term, it is about DESTROYING anybody's ability to interfere with Republican dictatorship, until everbody's dead.
Different "game", different rules.
As a ninja explained, in the book "Kenjutsu", IF you're trained to presume that your opponent will protect their life,
& they make a cut at you,
THEN you automatically make a cut at them, knowing that they're going to divert their cut, to block yours, to save their life.
BUT .. if they don't care if they die, then .. they don't divert their cut, to block: then you die, right then ( they do too, but they took you out, because you were relying-on leverage that you didn't actually have )
Countries make the same mistake.
The US is making that mistake, now.
Fatally.
