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!

He should be dragged through the courts and then thrown in jail for murdering civilians.

Trump and Miller and Noem also. A few others slip my mind.

He should be dragged through the ~~courts~~ streets

You had a small typo there

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 7 points 3 days ago

Yes. But then a period.

For anyone who didn't get the reference, Blondi was the name of hitler's german shepherd.

This was after one (1) single day of wildcat general strike! They immediately threw their pawn under the bus. You now know what they really fear. It's not voting, and it's not protest walks. Shut it all down and they'll scatter like the rats they are! Ice jackboots still active? General strike! Miller not in prison? General strike! Trump not impeached? General fucking strike!

Ignore those trying to divert to other ineffective actions. You've seen what works

[–] CLOTHESPlN@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

There's another planned strike on the 30th. We're not done yet.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago

Striking, and organizing, we need innumerable groups cooperating on general forums on what they agree on, both publicly and privately as they see fit.

Then we need some real leadership. With even a nascent sort of forum as such we could find the leaders to popularize the site and actions like strikes.

If he retires, it will be with a pension, and someone will replace him.

We need actual consequences for elected representatives and government employees who break the law.

[–] SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Maybe we could Ammend the usual procedure

Every ICE agent should be publicly named and should live in fear for the rest of their miserable lives.

[–] mrslt@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Anyone in favor of giving them the "Aldo Raine" treatment?

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 days ago

He is a p of s nazi, but also just the fall guy.

I honestly think that ICE believed they could suppress all social media engagement - and now after two highly profiled murders, the backlash is so heavy it might flood the voting booths come midterm.

Therefore the government decided to release some pressure by flushing old commander cunt down the drain to seem more culpable. I'm guessing they're going to try to get someone who is a bit more subtle, but who hopefully - and statistically - is also an idiot.

Make no mistake. They can become more obtuse and even less direct, clinical even. But the end game is clear by now. Extort, suppress, violate and crush opposition. That is the job of the current administration.

Do not give them an inch.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days ago

Get fucked you goose stepping monster.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 25 points 3 days ago

Oh well at least this worthless traitor gets to keep his fucking pension.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)
[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Retired straight out of the window?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago

Are you saying seeing this asshole cosplaying as a Nazi and chucking tear gas at innocent bystanders and peaceful protesters was NOT a good look?

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 14 points 3 days ago

Like Felon Musket retired.... Back to planning for next election.

[–] RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 days ago

His new office

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

May he develop bone cancer in his retirement 🙏

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Is that painful?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

"I will fade... and go into the west..."

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Let's make sure this dwarf never enjoys a day of retirement.

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 16 points 3 days ago

Don't leave the country Greg. There will be some questions for you later.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If he's still alive it isn't enough.

brutalize the populace, then set yourself up to be a saviour.....

[–] havvyhh2@mas.to 14 points 3 days ago

@Redditsux ousted and prosecuted would be more appropriate...but ousted is a start.

[–] IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet@reddthat.com 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Don't let these changes pacify the hatred people should have for them.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 days ago

He's not even being punished. He's retiring.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins said Bovino’s access to his DHS social media accounts has been revoked.

A promising sign that this is true.

The Atlantic also reported that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her adviser Corey Lewandowski are at risk of losing their positions.

It would be nice if this were true as well.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I expect they have a very deep bench of horrible assholes to replace them.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago

They are running out of fox news personalities, might have to open it to the lower tier con media.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

Corey Lewandowski

Somehow I forgot that this piece of shit was involved in this admin too

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

"Maybe if we just rename ourselves to Meta, people will forget all of the horrible things we did"

This literally changes nothing.

Remember, everyone, if you see him in public it is your civic duty to punch him in the dick.

[–] Lasherz12@lemmynal.space 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Knowing this admin it's because Stephen Miller thought them not aggressive enough. Until wormtongue gets thrown out on his ass I only expect escalation.

Say goodbye to Col. Lockjaw, everyone.

May the Christmas Adventurers Club give him a nice private office to celebrate his retirement!

Was this guy the cocksucker who said that your second amendment rights were forfeited if you brought a gun to a protest?
