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!

The MAGA cult is already running around with King Trump signs.
Seriously it is just completely bonkers that a scary number of people actually want to live under a dictatorship.
Somehow they're convinced he's only going to hurt the "right" people.
I too wouldn't mind living in an absolute dictatorship if my guy (or I) was the boss. (Actually even then I think I'd feel uncomfortable; I have too much empathy for my own good).
Trump has already laid out a plan to expand presidential powers if he wins in ‘24, so that might not be too far off in a future GOP platform
Well, you've got Bill Barr's attention.
Anyone seen the unredacted Mueller report yet? That we should have? Anyone? Beuller?
Skewers? What does that even mean as a headline?

There you go. It is a legit term. I did not read the article. Was it just harsh words or actual consequences from the judge?
It means you're supposed to have a visceral, emotional reaction that caused you to click to learn more and give them ad revenue.
I wish this junk wasn't commonplace but it must have been proven to work with how often it is used.
