Rules:

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.

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.

Summary

Donald Trump has suspended U.S. refugee programs, canceling flights for nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared for resettlement, including families of active-duty U.S. military personnel, unaccompanied minors, and those at risk of Taliban retaliation.

This executive order leaves thousands more approved refugees in limbo.

Advocates warn the move abandons vetted allies and strains U.S. credibility.

Minority Democrats called the decision "shameful," citing its impact on vulnerable groups and U.S. service members' families.

I don't enjoy how everyone else seems to have to fight for every policy decision, while the orange asshole just fucking does shit at will. He was doing it the last time too. Congress isn't even in this equation, so what was biden getting push back from?

The Regressives have all branches of government.

Dems barely got that in last 30 years.

They also have the supreme court so nothing will stop the dictatorship
