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!

The Trump administration's deportation program has divided Americans in recent months, marked by consistently strong backing from Republicans and MAGA Republicans, in particular, and less so among others. Earlier in Trump's term, it had larger majority approval, but since mid-summer, the program has hovered around more even division. Its approval is a bit higher today than last month.

That’s the takeaway? That they shouldn’t wear masks?

Holy fuck we are lost.

Keep in mind these questions are always being asked through the lense of neoliberal media organizations, so like, baked into the questions are the tacit assumptions that the current system should exist at all.

most feel ICE shouldn't wear masks

Some of us feel ice should not exist and those affiliated with it should be tried for their crimes.

A majority of Americans think Trump's policies are bringing migrant crossings at U.S-Mexico border down.

Yeah turn your country into a fascist shithole and no one wants to come anymore. A lot of Americans don't want to live there anymore either. Well done.

I’m of the opinion ice shouldn’t have heads to wear masks on, you know, applying the time tested solution to Nazi’s and all by helping them fulfill their only helpful destiny in life, fertilizing the earth.

I feel like bariweiss.com should not be an acceptable news source.

They shouldn't have guns. If a suspect has a record of violence then get the local police or FBI to subdue them. After that it's just transportation.

Imagine - being against other people wearing masks for matters of health (the cons spent how much time bitching about not only mask mandates for themselves, but seeing others wearing them - usually the anecdote was about seeing people wearing them alone in cars. Obviously, the implication is that they are cucks and pussies afraid of their shadow as much as they are of a virus that is "just like the flu", unlike the manly conservative telling the story. Or they'd whine endlessly about how they cannot understand someone wearing a mask), but being for them wearing them for fascism.

I really have to just shake my head at the conservative mind...
