Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
I think there are very few decisions he could make that would be more likely to trigger a massive political uprising. Fuck around and find out, I suppose.
You say that, but watch the bootlickers blame this on liberals and minorities for committing too much "fraud."
That’s exactly what will happen. Waiting for violent conservatives to do the right thing is such a stupid plan.
No one is waiting for them to do the right thing. People are waiting for their "but this affects me!" moments to eat away enough of his support to make moves feasible.
You know what I get super tired of? The fucking fatalism that seems so popular to pop off with in the hopes of a couple little updoots to make oneself feel better about the situation. It isn't helpful. You are allowed, I can't stop y'all, but I am exhausted by it.
Yeah fuck off with your exhaustion, your country is threatening to invade my country. Do something about it. Because your lack of doing anything is exhausting me.
And so they win: making you hate me for stuff I don't support and have been trying to prevent for my entire adult life.
Great job everyone, me included.
The individualism that is a consistent cultural framework around all of the US whinging about 'don't blame me' is where the blame lies. Your collective commitment to eschew any collective responsibility. This is fertile soil for fascism, because apathy is all that's needed for the takeover.
And then the crying and screaming becomes an even bigger export.
Yeah exactly.
So how many supporters need to turn against him?
His approval rating is 47%
47% of Americans say they support Donald Trump as of 3 days ago

47%, half, half of the country supports what is happening
You are delusional if you think Republicans will suddenly learn self reflection
Yeah, if they think these town halls with people screaming at them are bad, they are not going to like what happens if they actually activate all the deranged ‘keep your government hands off my Medicare’ conservatives against them.
Yes, but the Palantir model says exactly where that line is, which is why he's able to be so aggressive with so little pushback.
There have been times Trump overruled the model and started getting pushback but that's when he reversed a day or two later.
It's weird, he's using a massive Ai threat model as basically a poker odds computer, and badly, surely nothing could possibly go wrong here.
Do it. I'll get the popcorn.
No joke I assumed it was going to be raided by the time I could use it anyway. Was really cheering for that asteroid/was looking to that as God’s reset button.
I had my job convert me to a 1099 contractor and I'm just flat out not paying federal taxes right now.
Yes, I'll owe. Yes they'll come after it. I don't care right now. When they do, I'll claim ignorance and then communicate by snail mail and then set up a measley payment plan. Fuck 'em.
If they get rid of the IRS like they are trying to do you won't have to worry about it. I think you're making the right decision. Withhold until things become more clear.
Honestly if they actually get rid of the IRS they'll be blasting their own foot off. Seriously Americans are pretty much universally paycheck to paycheck, if folks can get away with saving that much they will and such actions will spread like wildfire.
I didn't know that was an option
It kind of isn't? I could face fees and interest.
But I'm just completely uninterested in giving the current government any more of my money, especially as it relates to social security.
I hear that.
But that may hurt you more than them at this point. No need to be a target.
Fair. And worth considering.
Agreed, I've never expected it to last another 25+ years. But a lot of these chucklefucks that voted for Trump are. I say turn it off so the leopards can continue feasting.
I’d say we could starve them out, but most of them have the body fat to last a few winters

He's acting like a literal fucking toddler. My 3 year old acts better than this.
Shocked I tell ya shocked!
Doge doing something stupid again
I fucking dare you.
Yes Republicans. Grab that 3rd rail and hold it tightly!
There’s a reason he wants that data so much — and it’s definitely nefarious.
Bunch of fucking bullies
