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!

"Pentagon officials discuss what to do if Trump were to attempt to deploy the military domestically, CNN reports"
"After CNN reports, the Trump administration discusses how to replace all Pentagon officials, CNN reports."
No worries, with project 2025, anyone not completely loyal to Trump or a minority will be retired in order make the military great again!
After which the military will be so ineffective we won't need to worry about it.
He should have been arrested last time. Now we have to hope a soldier or officer has enough of a spine to destroy his career by so much as telling the Cheeto in Chief "no."
Changes made to dod policy in September allows him to use the military domestically upon request of local police force.
Which would still violate the posse comitatus act
Im sure there is a gray area there with DOD adding it to 5402.01
Jesus Christ would you people stop citing on the books laws as if they mean ANYTHING now. Trump and his people will do whatever they want, the law be damned. Ink on a page in a law book means nothing to them now.
He's not even right about what he's citing.
No. Just no. That's been completely blown out of proportion. It's a reissue of a decades old memo to update intelligence sharing. It's for groups like the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Like when he orders the execution of Mark Milley? It will perhaps be one of the most significant moments in US history where we either stay the US or become Turkey.
That's why he wants Hitler's generals instead. Much more suited to his style of governance.
I hope the generals succeed in their attempts this time.
You record it and impeach him
If everything he does, per SCOTUS, while President is legal, than what do you impeach him for? Also, you guys voted in a red House and Senate, so that's not happening on a good day.
I'm getting very tired of happy happy joy joy style and unrealistic posts. We need to talk raw reality here, people.
