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.

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.

Looks like it's TACO Tuesday a day early.
Want someone to photoshop that scene in avengers with trump as hulk. "That's my secret. It's always TACO Tuesday." Then the big space worm just plows through him.
“ICE took a lot of bad people off the street that day. We arrested a sexual predator, arrested gang members, arrested somebody that had an armed robbery conviction. So we made L.A. safer, but you’re not hearing any of this,” Homan said. " All you hear is rhetoric about ICE being racist and ICE being Nazis and terrorists,..."
"Sure we may have swept up dozens and dozens of unrelated non-criminal undocumented immigrants, possibly fully legal documented immigrants, or hell even native born American citizens. That's just collateral damage. We'll sort them all out when they arrive in El Salvador. Who knows, maybe we might even let them come back to US soil. Stranger things have happened." - trump's border tsar probably
Who knows, maybe ~~we might even let them come back to US soil~~ they might leave CECOT alive—some day.
FTFY.
When you kidnap people without due process on the regular you're encouraging people to fight back. When you send them to foreign gulags known for literally torturing and killing people and forcing them into slave labor you're encouraging them to fight back with deadly force.
Dying—fighting for your life—sure sounds better than just giving up and letting ICE take you away. At this point the Trump Administration and ICE cannot be trusted to execute due process. They're operating outside of the law. They are the lawless ones.
They're hoping for deadly conflict and I fear they're going to get it. Though, on the plus side I'm 100% certain they will be unhappy with the outcome. In both the short and long term.
Here's the thing, Tom. You just said a lot of things, and maybe they're true and maybe they're not, but I can't believe any of them because you're part of an administration where everyone lies continuously. And even if I did, it doesn't excuse imprisonment for life without a trial in a foreign prison for terrorists. That's literally the kind of thing that Nazis did.
TACO Tom
