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!

No, child, you are being petulant and spoiled. You want more treason and chaos because you are upset at the president. And you not only have every right, I am as well
But the answer isn't to destroy our government even more
It's to remove the administration before they do more damage. A private army run by people who can make any law without answering to civilian?
You are giving the government what they want. Mire thugs, less accountability, and more cash.
It's a foolish, poorly thought out proposal that creates vastly more problems
Now I am through being reasonable Bout this subject. If you do not know how the government works and why we as citizens need to stand and fight instead of the courts, then you are one of the issues.
I truly do wish you the best. I will not waste more time on this.
Goddamn you're dumb and long-winded, reality will prove you wrong pretty soon now so just pay attention and you'll find out
To clarify, I don't think it would be a good thing necessarily if courts had their own security/military, I'm just not stupid enough to believe they'd magically stop being courts if that happened. The law doesn't matter if there are no consequences for breaking it, and Trump is busy demonstrating exactly that.
