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!

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) also suggested a novel way to deal with contempt of Congress. She told Fox News that she was prepared to force a vote on Garland's arrest.

If her legislation is enacted, it would require the House sergeant at arms to arrest Garland

So. if Biden doesn't get executive priviledge... as a sitting president... does that mean Trump doesn't get it... as a former president?

who am I kidding, they don't care about the hypocrisy.

To the fascist, hypocrisy is a feature. It's a tool that removes restrictions for themselves while it restricts others. It's a flex; their strength is so great it can't be bound by internal consistency or mental consonance.

To the fascist, if hypocrisy grants them more power then it's a good thing

Fifth and Sixth amendments: "Am I a joke to you?"

....bah who am I kidding, the entire bill of rights is a joke to the pissdrinkers.

It's heartening that someone so profoundly mentally ill can still find a job.

We’re not going to stop doing the bad things. We’re going to turn the people stopping us from doing bad things into political prisoners.

But republicans don’t want the courts to be used to attack political opponents.
