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!

His decisions wont be challenged in any way that matters. Nobody in the Trump admin will go to prison for the things they did. People will continue being kidnapped, tortured and killed. All elections will continue to be manipulated directly or algorithmically through social media and legacy media.
Yeah, just give up and roll over. No point it trying or fighting, just take it and let them win. No reason to even try to hope.
This sounds like a coward who's ready to give up before even fighting. Maybe you're ready to accept all that, some of us aren't. Keep your doom and gloom to yourself, you're helping no one.
If everyone throughout history thought like you then the world would be a much worse place.
Did i say that? No. What im saying is that things wont be fixed by lawsuits. They should still file them and maybe there will be some tiny cute victories, but the underlying issue, that is Trump being alive and out of prison, wont be solved with fucking lawsuits.
The US legal system is fucking done for and all that this does is postponing the inevitable need for a militant resistance. Shit is loooong past the "lets sue our way out of this" stage. That stage ended when Trump was allowed to become president again.
While this is a comedy skit, i am thinking more along these lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KivCRqfFcqY
Because "everyone throughout history" has also tried suing their way out of fascism and that really didnt work for them at fucking all my guy.
While i really do appreciate peace and not being violent, when being faced with unjust violence, sometimes you just have a moral obligation to become violent yourself.
You act like you know the future, what will happen like it's set in stone, and that it will be horrible. You sound like a defeatist and/or extremist. Neither of which are known for their rock solid logic.
You continue to do that behavior in this comment as well.
And...
I never said you could sue your way out, why is this your response? You're original comment didn't even mention that. Jesus, you're building random strawmen and working off assumptions. You don't know my stance beyond that I disagree with a vague aspect of yours. I could agree that suing is pointless, you have no idea. Why even bring this up? Because you assumed that's what I was talking about or thinking?
You're fabricating things so you have something to attack. You're so blinded by hate you're ready to attack anyone that disagrees with you, to the point of making up assumptions to have something to argue about. That's no better than MAGA ffs. Try using thoughts, not emotions. We're better than this, man.
Cool. And I'm sure once you realize that everyone might not have the same idea of who the right people to attack are, or what the right way to go about it is you might think: wow, we should have been a little more thoughtful in our approach and not treated violence like the only option. Instead, we should have looked at it like a tool in a belt of other strong tools. Because if you think killing Trump magically fixes America, as your little skit implies, you're naive. He could easily become a martyr for those people. What would that mean? Have you thought about that?
Literally every sentence of your first comment was an attack on my character and made assumptions about my beliefs. The fucking audacity. I dont even see a need to respond to this schizo post in detail.
Literally all i did was respond to someone overly optimistic with a probably very realistic prediction of what will happen. To fight a political or literal war you cant be deluding yourself into believing that someone else will save you through legal challenges.
