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!

He doesn't know what the Declaration of Independence is — something that's taught all through grade and middle school in the U.S. The odds are he has no idea what that pesky Constitution says, nor does he care.

The only time when "love and unity" isn't the correct answer he uses it.

This what you get, no-vote cowards.

All I can do is laugh at this point. This regime is so buffoonish and so open with their intentions that I genuinely wonder how people fell for this shit and continue to believe it. Are we really this fucking dumb ?

[–] Zippygutterslug@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Yeah, we sit around and laugh about how stupid he is while he ignores the law and constitution to the detriment of the freedom of citizens and immigrants alike.

We are literally that stupid.

If this comment doesn't make the case for impeachment idk what does

Upholding the constitution is the most basic part of the job.

If he "doesn't know" if he can do that he is unfit for the position and should be removed immediately. Not even counting all the other violations of the constitution his administration has committed in just the first 100 days alone

It’s ok, he learned his lesson

Traitor cunt.

[–] ryrybang@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

He does not. He's above any and all laws. I don't know why, but he his. The Constitution is meaningless to a king.

I’ve got it! Let’s wring our hands about this while we continue to do nothing. Wait until it’s too late, and THEN start to fight back. That’ll show ‘em!

I take it that you'd recommend a celebration on the 5th of November?

What does it take to get this guy out of office? Genuine question. We impeached this guy like twice but it didn't go through

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago

A coffin is the only way. It’ll probably be easier to secede.

At this point I’m just curious how long this will go on. What would have to tilt for a group of politicians to overhaul his ass and the r’s supporting him?

[–] ijedi1234@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I believe it will continue until the politicians are scared of an angry mob kicking in their door.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Food shortages will do it.

You proud now MAGAts? Does this make you proud?

Yes. Yes it does. And there are plenty of them who want more of this.

And I don't even blame the MAGA morons any more. I blame the "progressive" Democrats and so-called "independents" who decided to stay home in November and allow Trump to return to power because Kamala Harris had the audacity to commit sins like running for President while being a black woman, campaigning with Liz Cheney that one time, and not being left enough for their liking, so obviously the only reasonable thing to do was to let Trump return to power.

How's that working out for y'all, you fucking chodes?

[–] DadVolante@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've been saying this for a long time.

The people who stayed home or voted third party are still trying to blame Dems for this, because the Dems didn't try hard enough and "didn't inspire them".

Yeah? Well if you need a politician to inspire you to show up and fill out a piece of paper that will help protect marginalized groups, then you're a piece of shit.

I'm not a Dem. Never will be. But I understood what was on the line.

Gaza is gonna get glassed, my gay and trans loved ones are in immediate danger, among God knows how much more heinous shit is going down.

They said they were gonna do this. And a huge group of people who wanted to be seen as morally pure decided to sit it out to feel superior.

You're not superior. You're a monster. The Dems shouldn't have to "inspire" you to stop a fascist regime. It's American exceptionalism at it's fucking worst.

Fuck ALL of them. All of em.

Get. Him Out!

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago

"I don't think so" is what he meant

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago

Imagine celebrating a fascist swearing allegiance to a slavemasters pact.
