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!

trump is cancelling interviews, not doing debates, not talking about policy, because he's expecting the supreme court to crown him king, which they will, the instant they're given the chance

the only reason he does rallies is because he's a fucking toddler who feeds on attention

Then they do that, I hope they're ready for the outcome. There are going to be a LOT of people who won't do crap until after the other shoe drops.

It's really difficult to see this ending without violence. If he loses, his supporters are going to get violent. If he wins via a house vote or SCOTUS, I would expect violence.

I never understood this, what do the Supreme Court justices have to gain if trump becomes dictator.

Do they really think being more wealthy than now but under a dictator is better?

Like, some of them have children right? Wouldn’t you want your kids to grow up in a democracy if the king your electing can turn on you anytime?

You're not thinking like a fascist.

I and mine will always be safe for together our great nation is strong.

Does it hold up to logic or the slightest scrutiny? No. Does that matter to a fascist? Not even a little bit. Because you see... I and mine will always be safe...
