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!

This is so dumb. All it takes is one person who gives more fucks about killing him than they do about anything else.

If the deep state wanted it done… he’d already be dead.

The deep state has the technology to fly a missile up someone’s asshole if they wanted to.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

A missile with ninja swords that go “schwang!”, even.

The stupid this is the deep state isn’t some hidden cabal of secret actors, they’re hidden in plain sight and the billionaires that hire lobbyists, fund campaigns and basically decide ‘democracy’ as they choose to present it.

The show we’re presented and to argue over is just a distraction to keep us from coming after them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

People can't even seem to agree on exactly what the deep state even is. When it first came up, it was career civil servants who nefariously wanted a semblance of continuity so they could do their jobs. Now it's just another cabal of Them. Might as well be Freemasons collaborating with the Trilateral Commission again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Well yeah.

As they see it, I don’t think it even exists. But that just makes the whole thing even dumber, right?

Assuming that it exists, is the secret service somehow immune? Nope.

If presidents have total immunity like Trump is arguing in the Supreme Court, then it’s entirely within Biden’s purview to assassinate Trump. I don’t know what Trump is screaming about, this is exactly the power that he wants presidents to have.

Proof time travel does not exist...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

That, or we might actually be on the fixed timeline that is better than the others.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Someone from 50 years in the future and someone from 500 years in the future and someone from 5000 years in the future might have very different opinions on what the best timeline is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

True. Every timeline will try to survive as well, I guess....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

"better" as in "most survivable"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

You'd have to be dumb as a fence post to believe such a thing....oh wait, this is Republicans we are talking about.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

With what? Hamberders?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Are they projecting again?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I'm pretty sure Donny's lawyers argued in court this was OK.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

But according to Trump's lawyers, presidents are immune from everything, so they can just assassinate at will. So according to their arguments, Biden is within his rights as president to take out Trump
