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!

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) on Wednesday said 2024 will be the last election “decided by ballots rather than bullets” if former President Trump doesn’t win the presidential race because of his various legal battles.

In the latest episode of his show on TBN, Huckabee argued the legal woes now facing Trump are part of a politically motivated scheme from the Biden administration, an argument touted by many in the former president’s orbit.

“If these tactics end up working to keep Trump from winning or even running in 2024, it is going to be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets,” Huckabee warned in his opening monologue.

Huckabee accused President Biden and his team of trying “to make sure that Donald Trump is not his opponent in 2024″ and “to destroy Trump in the courthouse rather than at the ballot box.” He also alleged the Justice Department, the IRS and the FBI are “conspiring to hide the Biden family crimes, while all the time being obsessed with charging Donald Trump with crimes.”

huckabee and all his humunculoid offspring are the evil itself, they never had any interest in the plot

Does anyone else remember the 2000 election with Gore and Bush and the state of Florida ?

What the ever loving fuck is wrong these people ?

And why is Biden's family included for Huckabee while Trump is a singular entity ?

They really do want violence.

I hope, when the smoke clears, they serve the remainder of their days in prison.

Because They. Won't. Win.

Dear Liberals,

Buy guns now. You are severely outgunned and the police support the other side. There is no credible deterrence preventing fascist militias from waltzing into major metropolitan areas and doing pretty much the same thing the Khmer Rouge did in Cambodia (murdering everyone that disagreed with them). Being “outraged” is not enough. Putting “In this house we believe…” signs on your lawn is not enough. Reassuring yourself with op-eds in the New York Times is not enough. Buy guns now.

Showing his whole ass once again.

Funny how these bastards always find someone else to do their dirty work for them. But what would you expect from Mike Huckabee, whose dick is so small he couldn't fuck a bee?

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 13 points 1 year ago

Soooo threatening more treason are we?

Like all terrorists, the RW threatens violence if they don't get their way.

Are there really Americans that would respond to threats like this with "Well I don't like them, but maybe if I vote for them they won't shoot me?"

Who am I kidding, of course there are. Probably the same Americans that insist our rigged capitalism can fix the many crises our rigged capitalism caused.

Believe it or not, there's still a shit ton of people out there making the "both sides" argument.

Their "reality" doesn't jive with actual reality.

Calm the fuck down, Mike.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 10 points 1 year ago

Don't hope for that, Mike, it will not go the way you think it will go.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Boy, Republicans are the biggest scam artists of all time. What fucking crimes did Biden commit? There are receipts for the crimes Trump broke. Destroy Trump in the courthouse rather than the ballot box? Are you fucking high? You don't debate criminals on policy, you prosecute criminals.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

bring it on, you lying sack of hillbilly shit

[–] donuts@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Be my guest, assholes... Just like on January 6th, all of these fascist talking heads will be nowhere to be found when shit starts going bad or getting violent. They want to foment insurrection and pit Americans against other Americans, but then they very casually wipe the blood from their hands and sit back in the comfort of their mansions. It'll be their dumbest and most gullible supporters, the useful idiots, that end up committing crimes on their behalf and suffering the legal consequences.

Trump committed crimes and, despite being rich and despite being a former president, he is not above the law.

You dickheads already tried that. Now a whole fucking lot of you are going to prison, for, idk, 22 years or so. I say once more, pull out the gun or shut the fuck up, coward.
