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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Why do people keep responding to this like laws and tradition meananything?
What does anyone think will be different this time??
The leader of an insurrection delayed investigations until getting reelected, threatened and fired people who dared to look at him sideways, and is unapologetically defying a judge's orders while using his sentient moneybag to openly bribe politicians who say they're willing to impeach a judge for not agreeing with the president (going against the warnings of the supreme court).
Where are our papers and pens going to get the power to do anything about it when all the power sits with the president? I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who pushes back hard enough is going to experience The Night of the Long Knives.
I genuinely think we are days to weeks away from seeing a politician become a political prisoner. And even then, headlines will ask "are we inching closer to fascism?" And people will say, "this is what the laws are for. We just have to wait for the system to work."
Lex Luthor has taken over Metropolis and is killing anyone standing up to him, Lois Lane is sobbing over Clark Kent's mangled corpse while Jimmy Olsen assures her that Superman will show up any moment now and everything will be okay. At that same time, Perry White is telling the printer to run the headline "Luthor Shoots 61 Citizens in one day, Experts say This Could be Illegal"
