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!

I believe this has probably already been shared but we need to aware and ready. While I fear most of what happening. I ask this one consideration. If we can’t save much. Please protect our natural parks and forests. Whether through legal protest, calling and emailing representatives.

We’ve harmed those lands way too much and if we continue on the path we are. We may have none left. We can rebuild nearly everything else but that…

This article is extremely concerning. For any president to assume title of King or even dictator ever. Even spew those words. Is a danger to all no matter who you are.

We violate no laws when we save our country. We must save our country.

I wish it was that simple. We have a military the strongest ever. Now here’s where we are lucky. While I don’t expect all would support us. A decent amount would. The military will become in factions. Then the issue is I don’t know about the militia know as police.

The biggest issue. Someone already threatened Elon and got arrested. Until the king falls and he will. Any resistance is treason…

King huh? I guess we need to also bring guiltines.

[–] DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Yes! I have a better idea but I don’t know if I can share it… Though totally not related, Remember in AC Brotherhood (I think it is) when the guy gets hanged from the flagpole. That’s was such a badass moment. A symbol of resistance.

He is making congestion not only in new York but also in the media. My homepages half of the articles in the list are about Trump or Musk and that is on purpose because they know normal people give up because they can't keep up, and then they can do whatever much easier.

Flood the zone....

I’ll admit. I wish I could rest feeling calm. But.. giving up isn’t possible.. I seek the evolution of society not regression, but most of all. I can’t feel happy, calm anything peaceful. If those lands we haven’t harmed yet. Get destroyed. We have killed so many species, destroyed so much nature. I really considered for a while humans are a mistake. A curse upon the land. Many times we see ourselves as beings of unparalleled power and ability but in the end. We are the only species that can harm that which we inhabit. So much. Though we have the possibility to evolve beyond this. It’s not an easy task but it’s necessary. It’s not about democratic, republican or anything but about the future of everyone, everything.

Smith was correct. We are a virus, name another organism that kills its host

We already have a king. Burger King. 🍔 👑

There is no other room for royalty in this country lol

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

In the US, presidents and other high ranking officials enjoy privileges and have powers that go far, faaaar beyond what a king has in a modern monarchy.

[–] DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Hahahaaaa wow 😂 imagine Burger King decides to feed those in need upcoming fucking golden

Vive la révolution ! Vive la liberté ! Que le roi rencontre la mort !
