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!

Law is no more here in America. What a judge says doesn’t mean shit, and no one should listen to a damn thing any authority figure says. Free for all, purge, loot, rape, burn, kidnap, whatever you want, because if a judge says anything about it, there are no consequences or enforcement. Oh, wait, that’s different for me, because I’m a poor, and the rich hire a bunch of other poor to come beat the shit out of me and lock me up if I do anything that doesn’t match their ideal of a “good American”

This boils my blood, and should be making everyone want to throw rocks repeatedly at those responsible. They need to be held accountable for the complete lack of due process, and should suffer an eye for an eye punishment.

Literally the only power the courts have ever had is the executive's decision to abide by it. "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it." so even 200 years ago there was never anything actually stopping a president to expand his power. De Tocqueville pretty said the same when he did his deep dive into American politics.

Wanna do something about it? This is the head of 50501 AZ's matrix server. You are not powerless. We are not helpless. Together, we can put an end to this storm.
