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!

I was expecting something subtle, some sort of resistance from within type stuff.
Not so much.
Can this be applied to ICE? Where are they staying in your city? Where are they keeping their trucks and gear? Where does it come from? Where is their dispatch? When ICE arrests someone, what’s the logistics chain to get the person away from your city?
Proof that CIA knows what the cure for fascism is, and yet chooses not to ever since Reagan.
So many countries ended up with fascist autocrats with the help of the CIA. Way before Reagan.
The CIA was created to protect capital interests while pretending it's for the American people... They are like the heart of global fascism. Them and the federal reserve banking system.
Capital Interest Administration lmfaooo
Why stop fascists when you can enable them worldwide and locally that helps secure funding and work for you?
Why would you not want to have more threats to encourage congress to fund your habits and slowly erode the rights of the Americans you claim to defend?
The CIA started hating fascists due to the war effort but learned they had the same idea just different strategies.
The CIA wasn't around for WW2, that was the OSS and that agency was dissolved after the war.
This is honestly the first time I'm wondering why, exactly, they got rid of it.
While it wasn't the CIA, the OSS was basically the WW2's CIA, and then the OSS set up what became the CIA. The OSS also helped Operation Paperclip go into effect, escorting Nazis into the US Government and its allies.
The cure was disabling fascism long enough to let it get conquered by not-fascism.
But that doesn't work in the USA because we will get conquered by More-Fascism.
The truth is that the south has perfected the art of double speak and gets away with saying horrid dog whistles for 40+ years and then blushes and puts their finger on their chin and goes "whoooo, meeee?" when it's called out for what it is in plain English. "I wouldn't feel responsible if anything happened to Fauchi" while simultaneously calling him evil the devil wicked china virus and then removing a security detail. But because Trump didn't explicitly say "I hope harm comes to Fauchi and you should get him" it doesn't count. It's bullshit and everyone knows it.
One political party has played by the rules while the other rewrites their language and erodes their purpose and claims that party 1 doesn't play by the rules enough. Moving goalposts.
Democrats will always fight over the rules while Republicans are busy changing the game and watching everyone catch up too late.

You magnificient bastard!
Is the idea here just to be kind of a jerk?
If so, my time has come...
Be the boulder you were always meant to be.
Amazing. Thanks.
Resistance from within? You think Ron Swanson is toppling dictatorships?
What is Ron Swansons ideology? I've got a taste from watching season 1 and 2 but not a full picture.
Ron Swanson is supposed to be the archetype libertarian.
Yeah, that's fair.
