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!

I too would love to sleep forever.
Considering we're at probably over 100 broken laws yea ...
We gotta get the dems back in there so they can follow the law and not do shit until they "lose" to the next fascist. \s \s \s
Laws are only useful if they're enforced
If you can't enforce it, it's not a law.
If you break the law and nobody enforces it, did you really break the law?
They don't care.
This entire debate relies on the assumption that they have any respect for the law. Nobody, literally not a single person in that administration will be held accountable for breaking the law.
They'll try 200 different laws, orders, whatever. 180 of them will be declared illegal. And then what? Nothing. No punishment at all.
And they'll try again and again and again. Slowly eroding the entire government.
There should be an amendment that if you break the law and don't reverse it or ignore it, an impeachment will automatically be initiated.
Unfortunately impeachment is also meaningless. I don't see a circumstance where 67 senators would ever vote to convict.
The only thing that might work is to be barred from public office and placing the secret service under congressional control to enforce it. But since presidents are untouchable kings now, 2/3rds of Congress and state legislatures are never going to give that up when they could be the king one day themselves.
If he broke the law then that means he's going to prison right?
He's going to be physically removed from office and put in a prison cell right?
The Supreme Court will say he's fine though since he can't do anything wrong as president apparently.
Thanks, legal experts. Now who can or will punish him? The judiciary he stacked? The Law he disregards and dismantles? A feckless Congress? Please. That court order is notarized toilet paper.
I'm other news water is wet
Hi, other news.
I'm news at seven but I don't know what time it is.
And what about it? So you think Congress will do anything about it? That the courts would do anything about it? Democrats are powerless to do anything about it, not like I would expect them to put up any fight to begin with. The rest of America going to do crap about it? Do you think the farmers who voted to getting fucked by this will do anything about it?
My guess would be no. Let the farmers who voted for it find out.
