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!

When does political showboating become treason?
For instance, if you were to sabotage someone’s car brakes “as a prank” or perhaps even “to make a point” (about some stupid shit, who knows?) and that car failed to stop and killed somebody… you be charged with murder or at least manslaughter.
TFG is sabotaging the genuine security readiness and functioning of the military of the ENTIRE USA because he has some retarded “culture war” excuses.
Being a blockage for a couple of weeks…? Maybe valid political theatre.
Doing this shit for months and months?!?! That’s beyond criminal. That’s straight up treason.
He's hoping to hold out until after the 2024 elections, I feel it. They're hoping to stuff these positions (which include very high command positions) with GOP yes-men. The "culture war" nonsense is just a smokescreen that plays well with his voting base.
People who will send the military into situations where it traditionally has not? And defend those overturning an election in the "right" direction?
This tracks for me.
I feel that you are correct, unfortunately. They own the SCOTUS, next they need top military and voilà, coup in action.
