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!

"He says he will require local law enforcement agencies that receive Justice Department grants to use controversial policing measures such as stop-and-frisk. As a deterrent, he says local police should be empowered to shoot suspected shoplifters in the act. “Very simply, if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store,” he said in one recent speech."
Literally just wants to turn it into a shithole country. Skipping chopping hands off and just skip to execution.
So out of curiosity, what does he say should happen to people who defraud banks and other investors by falsifying documents and ledgers?
They should be sentenced to 50 weeks at a Trump golf club.

Surprisingly they get sent to bed early with a hot toddy and a BJ.
Sounds like they have money and as such should be above the law.
So he wants to suspend/dismiss US Citizen's 4th Amendment right (as ruled by the US Supreme Court in Terry v. Ohio).
And he wants to suspend/dismiss the 5th, 6th, and 14th amendments of the Constitution which is the "innocent until proven guilty" parts as well as Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution which guarantees the right of habeas corpus which is the right to a fair trial.
When trump said he had "no duty to support the Constitution" apparently he was truly showing us who he was.
To quote Maya Angelou:
"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.""As long as I can still shoot things and be racist" - Republicans
"As long as they're shooting the right people"
Apparently the new vocabulary is "vermin".
This also goes for the people who hear the things Trump is saying and continue to say he should be put in charge.
Your such a stupid Libtard. The Constitution ONLY COVERS School Shooters stupid!
Whole world: let's get gun laws stricter
America: let's bring school shootings to the malls
Stealing a loaf of bread to feed your starving family, starving because of Trump's economic policies, will be a death sentence. Hooray.
being suspected of stealing a loaf of bread is a death sentence.
And I got into it in another thread with multiple people who still think Hillary would have been just as bad or worse than Trump. Baffling.
They don't even have to accuse you of nothing, they'll just shoot you dead from behind while you're trying to grab a box of cheerios from the shelf
Turn into...?
Pandering to the gun morons
Due process? What's that?
Republican's stopped reading after the second amendment.
There are only as many amendments as there are genders- 2. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
