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.

I love how they just casually admit that they're "exploring ways" to break the law.
Don’t worry guys! He only wants to deport the worst criminals! You know, like the enemies of the people. Now, who was it that he call the enemy of the people, again…?
First they came for the students protesting the genocide and to divest from Israel... and we said FUCK THOSE PROTESTORS!
Rapists, gang members, democrats, red haired people, wokists... You know. The enemy!
Then finally the non-loyalists
I keep my wok hidden away in a secret room in the attic where they’ll never find it and make stir fry in a good old fashioned American manufactured skillet like our good lord and orange savior intended. You’ll never brand me a wokist
Everyone is a enemy combatant in the War on Flavor

I did not have "The Nazi's will outsource their gulags to El Salvador" on my fascism 2025 bingo card... I need to get more creative, or possibly criminally insane.
Man, pay attention to terminology:
-
Nazi = Lager
-
Soviet = Gulag
Its only until our own black site at Guantanamo has completed their new 30,000 prisoner facility. Then we can torture and execute dissidents ourselves, outside if the view of the media and courts.

So yeah if that's the case then we need to seriously explore ways to remove him from office
Removal of Trumps entire regime should be the core demand of the protests, instead of that milquetoast "Hands off" BS
Well, certainly we can count on the republicans to vote to impeach and convict once they see him disregard the constitution.
Why would they impeach him for something the Republicans on the Supreme Court will declare perfectly legal?

Of course he does.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
First they came for the socialists ... But the US was coming for the socialists at the time, so that part is left out at the Holocaust museum memorial.
Actually first they came for LGBTQ+ people and scientists studying controversial subject matter, but the guy who wrote the poem was a conservative Catholic priest, so he didn't mind.
Worse than that, he was part of a group that carved out special exemptions for their churches with Hitler. And was a raging anti-semite until his death bed iirc.
So a traditional conservative who only saw evil when it affected him. And only insofar as HOW it affected him.
Man, can you imagine hating on your deathbed? I'd think of the slightly less shitty times.
A piece of garbage that has a far better legacy than he deserves.
Well, his legacy is about regretting a mistake for not standing up for others even if he doesn't like them. I don't think that's a legacy of doing good even if it's a good legacy. I think he has the legacy he deserves; being known for failing to do what's right even when others died doing so.
You have a very good point. Not even remotely remorseful for being motivated by blind hatred, but able to at least consider the babies of a basic ethical framework based solely on pragmatism.
That makes it a better poem in retrospect, imo. It demonstrates its own moral
Actually, first they came for physically and mentally handicapped. The clergy spoke up because they were the first to notice that the families in their church with vulnerable individuals were all receiving letters that their family member had died while getting government-mandated "treatment" in a government hospital.
Hitler was "shocked, " and pledged to end the program. Instead, it went underground, and evolved into the Holocaust.

Can't wait to find out if I've been vocal enough to be selected as a concentration camp candidate!

Does anyone still think America isn't a dictatorship?
TBH its not very obvious. Immigration officials around the world probably still view the US as a democracy. If an American were to apply for political asylum in, say, the EU, for example, it would likely get rejected.
We need something very concrete, like if 2026 elections get cancelled or martial law declared, then they would actually take asylum applications seriously.

It is really simple. You put a swastika on your flag, blow an important empty building and you say the country is in an emergency, transfering all powers to White House.
