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!

I don’t know if this happens, or if it doesn’t. There should be zero tolerance for even joking about this. The only thing that I will assert is this: If this happens, and some combination of: another branch of government, state governments, the public, law enforcement, the military, and the media, don’t immediately halt everything and throw his as in out, then the United States is over. I don’t mean ‘over’as a descriptor for decline. I mean it’s just immediately done. There is no nation, there are no laws and we have no constitution. The entire project ceases to exist immediately.
Psst… it’s already over, because that’s what Billionaires want.
Lol, the vast majority of Americans will never tolerate Kings, and we mean it. We're willing to die to ensure it never happens here. I know you don't believe me, so I'll just say sit back and watch us torch our billionaire class and eat their flesh. You'd be surprised what Americans are willing to do to ensure No Kings. Its not just a protest slogan. We fucking mean it.
I'm in Australia. We have a king and it's no big deal. Thailand has a king and it's no big deal.
What you have on your hands is an imminient dictator. You don't want that.
No, I don’t want either. Call it a king, call it a dictator. They can both eat shit. Fuck your king, fuck Thailand’s king. Their continued existence is an affront to every human being that breathes.
You already have a king, so there is that! But yeah I’d love to see what you describe. But dude, he tore down the WH and it’s all crickets.
To be fair, I really don't care about the White House in general
I despise its current tenant, and it sucks that the add-on is gonna be a tacky gilded ballroom, but I'd be fine if the building got blown up by a space laser
Fuck, it was burned down already. Twice.
True, we won't tolerate a king. OTOH, more than a third of us are more than happy to tolerate a dictator.
I really hope it’s true.
My gut doesn’t believe it is.
My heart still hopes.
Sure pal, you're different from everyone else in the world, you are immune to fall under an authoritarian regime, sure. LoL
That good old American exceptionalism.
I mean I’m rooting for them, absolutely. Based on the current track record though, it isn’t looking good.
Willing to die in a seated position doesn't cut it goofy
you misread
I agree with the sentiment but I don't think it is true the two term limit is a relatively new thing, Franklin Roosevelt had four separate elections and served until he died that was only in 1945, we have changed the constitution since then but I don't think it is fundamentally different from the majority of America, granted this was a war time president but I still don't think it is fundamentally different.
