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!

It's not just "what he did in office".
HE TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE MOTHER FUCKING GOVERNMENT TO CLING TO POWER. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR GOD DAMNED HEAD.
I'm sorry, but I am so tired of this argument. He commit fucking treason. That is literally what happened. We are all pretending like it is some nebulous thing, and it isn't. He is the textbook definition of a fucking traitor.
Yup, and there are a hundred accomplices still in office.
The Supreme Court will define "treason" by what the constitution says, and Trump does not fall into this category:
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”
So, unless you:
a.) Recruit and assemble a militia and use it to actively engage in insurrection or
b.) provide aid to a foreign power with whom we are actively in a declared war
He did not recruit all those Trumpsters, they did that stupid shit on their own. He didn't help the cause, but he did not actively recruit them to attack the government.
My point is that the LEFT is throwing that word around way too much...without really knowing how it's defined.
Definitionally it was a militia:
Recruiting said militia:
Proof of motive for committing treason:
Nobody should take you seriously because you are as pathetically weak willed and spineless as you are dishonest. Defending what Donald Trump did and the Supreme Court's usurpation of the Constitution to allow him to avoid prosecution makes you a traitor to democracy. You disgust me.
Okay. I guess we'll wait and see what happens. Cheers! Oh, and VOTE RED!
I would stick a shotgun in my mouth and pull the trigger with my toes before I would vote for Donald Trump.
I don't necessarily "support" Trump, it's about what he will actually be found guilt of. Left wing driven sites like Lemmy and Reddit do nothing but attack the Right and anyone who supports Republicans...I just like to remind you all that the Right is NOT just about Trump. In the meantime, let's wait and see what he's actually found guilty of... I vote primarily Republican (although I'm registered Independent), but I'm leaning more towards RFK Jr. if anyone...
