politics
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!

Why foreign?
Can’t even Make American Gulags Appear let alone a manufacturing infrastructure for you sexist, racist, anti-science, anti-health, selfish, fascist, no-exaggeration dumbest people on earth considering how you chose this.
Foreign gulags give the shitheads plausible deniability when it comes to situations like the mistaken deportation of a legal resident. So, they can rendition you to El Salvadore, and there's jack and shit you can do about it.
Yeah. I’m waiting to see how they explain that they can’t bring people back on court orders because they’re dead. Except of course the Supreme Court stepped in.
Oh no, they've already said that he's effectively in foreign custody and any transfers would have to go through diplomatic channels IIRC.
Because in the US you have some recourse to the courts. In a foreign one, the current Supreme Court seems to think you don't.
That was the entire point of Guantanamo, to keep people outside the legal system.
Who would have thought that building secret concentration camps around the globe would come back to haunt the good ol' USA? Home of freedom and democracy!!! \s jfc
This precedent isn't current. It goes back to Gitmo and likely a bit before that. We just had twenty-five years of liberals kinda shrugging and insisting these kinds of horrifying totalitarian impulses are reserved for brown people and particularly poor whites, not anyone who matters.
we have before

Trump is not having original ideas but instead is using the same playbook Hitler got off the United States
Even the Nazis built their death camps in other countries.
Not the first one. Dachau. So was Sachsenhausen and Neuengamme.
Don't worry, y'all. USA has endless prisons.
Dude... This rabid anti American shit is getting old.
You're on a social platform with like-minded people who are all potential targets for this administration's horse shit. Few, if -any- of -us- voted for this. We are Americans, but we are also, very likely, -your- allies.
If you just want to be mad and demonstrate how in-control of your emotions you are, go on. But what's happening has global ramifications. Maybe don't dunk on those who are fighting it from the inside.
Until you actually start cleaning house, you are not our allies. Comments like yours, and other empty expressions of support, are as meaningful as "thoughts and prayers."
Get your shit in order rather than whining about how unpopular your country is.
Until we start? We have. It's not something that happens overnight. You're saying you're not my ally until I'm winning, and that's not the high ground you think it is.
And as far as whining... Look at my post history before you call me a whiner. I have little to no disillusions about my country.
This edgelord internet routine plays right into the authoritarian's hands. Build bridges, not walls.
