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!

You had the SCOTUS authorization (presidents can't do crimes if it's "party of their duties") to arrest Trump and make him go away, but instead we now live in the Fascist States of America. The GOP are domestic terrorists, but her, at least you can die sun knowing you played by the rules. Go to hell old man.

Exactly this. He is the reason why the us is in the shape that it is today, and is the reason why it will continue to regress in the next foreseeable future.

Yes, the 6-3 conservative SCROTUS totally would have supported Biden having Trump arrested. Only Republicans can do whatever they want.

The Chad move was to arrest the SCOTUS as soon as the ruling came down.

So move faster than they can stop him. Trump has shown how effective disappearing people without due process can be. The Supreme Court can't resurrect the dead as far as I'm aware.

They said "arrested," not "killed." I agree that an assassination would have been a good way for Biden to sacrifice himself for his country.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 1 hour ago

Other events can follow an arrest.

It’s not like they could stop him…

"We determined Biden is not immune from prosecution for this act." Congress would impeach and easily pass it since Democrats don't worship him, Harris becomes president, Trump is convicted and no punishment happens, Trump is elected president.

Now, if he did something permanent like have him assassinated, that would have made the world a better place and could not have been reversed.

when he's sad, he thinks about all the babies in Gaza he murdered, then he feels better
