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!

Despite a court order, a reporter and photographer from The Associated Press were barred from an Oval Office news conference on Monday with President Donald Trump and his counterpart from El Salvador, Nayib Bukele.

Last week’s federal court decision forbidding the Trump administration from punishing the AP for refusing to rename the Gulf of Mexico was to take effect Monday. The administration is appealing the decision and arguing with the news outlet over whether it needs to change anything until those appeals are exhausted.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit set a Thursday hearing on Trump’s request that any changes be delayed while case is reviewed. The AP is fighting for more access as soon as possible.

He also announced in the meeting that they won't be facilitating the return of an illegally-extradited man despite the Supreme Court's unanimous order to do so.

Why don't the Democrats try to impeach him over this? I know it won't pass with the Republicans in charge, but at least it would show that they tried to make things right.

They should try it and try to get Republicans to vote against Trump - I know it won't work, but at least they should be forced to publicly show their colors as minions of a dictator.

There should be a impeachment trial for each and every time that traitor breaks the law. It's the least they could do.

And that they're targeting American citizens to be sent to El Salvador as well.

If the president doesn't have to follow the law, why should we?

You don't have a militia that stormed the Capitol once and is ready to do it again

Because there is a very real possibility that we end up in a hole in EL Salvador, never to be seen again.

Silly American, rules are for poors!

Every jury should be be asking this question too. If Trump can break the law, everyone can.

Because guns

"Despite a Court Order" could be the title of a history book detailing orange douche canoe's second (and attempt at a third) term(s) in the white house. Seems like we'll be reading variations of those words with upsetting regularity for the next few years.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 2 points 19 hours ago

Why do they keep reporting on anything else but the Other my? Seems like a waste of time imo

[–] ToadOfHypnosis@lemm.ee 43 points 1 day ago

Trump is a petty little bitch.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 1 day ago

Trump and his goons flatly ignore the courts now. That's just another example.

[–] yagurlreese@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

hmm..so he can just ignore court orders and it's okay now? what the actual fuck.

Who do we want to stop him?

“Military” I mean realistically
