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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

President Donald Trump is calling for Democrats to be jailed, ordering the Justice Department to investigate lawmakers who have dared to threaten to hold him and his goons accountable.

The 80-year-old president cast his demand for Democrats’ imprisonment as a response to their threats to investigate members of his administration, particularly Attorney General Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer.

The mad king's calling for the arrest and imprisonment of political enemies for merely being political opponents is one of the nails in the coffin of a dying empire. Add this on top of J6 too.

I think his seemingly calm response to the election was due to no one explaining the situation to him. I can't imagine what Miller is recommending now...

His meds must have been working for a moment

Well they are ramping upn national guard in dc for no stated reason...

So they will be suspiciously militarily equipped for January...

Nah.

The loss was too big to lie about, and he can say that "he" didn't lose.

I think that his AG has been on the blower saying "we're all so totally fucked now" and trumps initial response is this outburst.

I agree except he's so far gone, he had to be told he can't fight this one as fraud, and I think the resignations of the three federal prosecutors has something to do with this. He demanded, they refused, not our of patriotism, but self interest obviously.

He would cry foul, you know he tried, he didn't get the support. He floats ideas like this, or did before he lost his fucking mind, like after 2020 with the insurrection act and rerunning elections under the gun of the military. Flynn spearheaded it, but he broached it too. Didn't get support.

2028 is going to be wild, as the dems will manage to nominate newsom or god forbid that douchy chicago sell out they think is tough, the former mayor whatever his stupid name is. Rahm Emmanuel. Fuck that guy, and fuck newsom.

The establishment will throw us back into the arms of these traitors that are planning on permanently fixing elections. We may only survive now because the prez and his picks are such fucking cunty douche troll liars.

Next nomination will likely be more intelligent, and with dem establishment in opposition they could topple the republic and throw us into darkness, so to speak.

Banishing Éomer and abandoning the Westfold?
