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!

We decide?
His dream would become true if he dropped dead tomorrow. So would a lot of people's.
May his presidency be very short.
That would make him president for life wouldn't it?
He was never joking. What is it going to take for people to take him seriously?
They have to be personally affected by his actions. Good news is he's speed running this.
The bad news is even those personally affected aren't all going to suddenly call a horse a horse. A good number of them will bitch and whine about him hurting the wrong people while being blissfully unaware that if someone got caught lying, it's not the first lie but just the first one that they found out about.
President for life, so about 6 months?
He’s such a disgusting disappointment. A dangerous idiot given too many powerful toys.
Here's a lot of things but not a disappointment. Everybody with two functioning brain cells knew exactly what he is and everything is turning out exactly as predicted. Anyone who is disappointed by this has been wilfully ignorant until now.
He’s a disappointment as an American President. A disappointment as a human being. didn’t vote for him. I knew what he was and is.
When this is all over. One way or another. And the dust has settled. Please remember that even moderate republicans supported him.
Statistically, he is likely to be president for the rest of his life.
Evil people live longer.
"What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure."
Every now and then the founding fathers were based af...
Also, I've always heard the "tree of liberty" part, but not sure I'd seen the "It is it's natural manure." Damn.
I sure hope when Trump said he wants to be president for life that his monkey’s paw curled a finger. Ideally, this would leave only the middle finger upright.
Is this monkey's paw taking suggestions for cause of death? If so, might I nominate, "death on the toilet?" It just seems appropriate for Trump.
Let him be president for life, if he agrees to have a very short life left. Then sure, it would be good news actually.
Finally, a compromise with the fascists I can get behind.
If he is "joking" about it, he obviously means it.
He could be president for life and still only do two mandates of 4 years, well the second mandate could even be shorter!
Waiting for an enterprising weapons manufacturer to release a new gun named the "Term Limit"
That'll be the most popular 3D print file in a couple years.
Keep it ready to go for the next time the Benchy folks start being dicks about copyright.
One strategically deployed hamberder in the next 1000 days is all it will take to ensure this outcome.
Then you need to lock Vance in a furniture showroom, and nail Johnson to an inverted cross.
Vance is the creepiest motherfucker I have ever seen. That man has no soul. Not in the sense that he's cruel. No, look into those eyes, and tell me there is a soul in that husk. Vance is a philosophical zombie. There is nobody home.
I wonder if he's narcissistic enough to still at least do the election for his third term. He'd need significantly more cheating this time around to overcome the margins he's gonna lose by with all his voters dead or faces eaten by leopards.
It's already done. Elon getting CISA access and firing people there was the end. Elections are cooked.
They might stage a pretend election just for his ego.
