      Since when has Trump let a pesky thing like the law stop him?

      Dude is literally a rapist. Nothing is stopping him

          Not any sort of legal mechanism…

          A time for action was this time last year. Except Garland fucked it up. Cheeto could have been rotting in prison by now

    hey this is extremely bad, isn’t it? this seems alarmingly like the beginning of a “worst case scenario” event unfolding. i don’t see how it isn’t, can someone offer a reason why it wouldn’t be or am i fearing this correctly? i fear this is a setup for the insurrection act.

      Yes this is the next step in the fascist takeover of the US. These are the troops they plan to use if you resist their tyranny.

      The time to protest is now.

      I would feel a lot better if everyone around me would panic. I might sound sarcastic but I really mean it. It makes me more upset that people around me act like nothing out of the ordinary is happening. I want everyone else worked up so I know I’m not crazy for being worked up

        honestly, i 100% agree. the gaslighting i am being subjected to is driving me, quite literally, crazy. i am in a psychology program right now in part because i cannot deal with all of this and everyone’s fucking complacency, cowardice, and inaction.

    Stephen Miller, Noem, and others are moving to live on military bases. Why do you think that is?

  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.

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
