    I could go on, but I think that the point has been made.

      I knew before I even clicked the topic that it would be pointless to get excited over the idea of poinhing this out.

      You’re the only human commenter, and thats the comment. It’s such obvious bullshit that I KNEW someone was going to beat me to it.

    The scary part is not that this idiot says these things

    The scary part is that he has a well funded following

    Drump is only part of the problem

    The other part of the problem are the millionaire and billionaire backers that keep this circus of the insane moving.

      The scary part is that he has enough extremist followers in law enforcement & sitting judges that it is possible they’d claim an interpretation of the law in someway where it actually happens.

    Blatant fascism from the GOP nominee? Who would have guessed?

    Yes, Trump is a problem. But the problem runs deeper.

    If not Trump, another useful idiot.

      Useful-er probably. If they can get the votes.

      Here’s to hoping the bag of rats eats itself long enough for the Republican party to split.

    The Second Amendment fans who say that their guns are to defend the other rights will actually do nothing about this clear and present danger to the First Amendment.

    The Supreme Court is no longer part of the checks and balances it is supposed to be. It is now controlled by MAGA. Along with half of Congress. So that only leaves the White House now.

    Of course any Magoo will just defend this as “ThAtS nOt WhAt He MeAnT! He SaId It’S aBoUt InFlUeNcInG tHeM!”

    To be honest I kinda hope they do take that defense. Could be a nice time to bring up all the bribes gifts to conservative SCOTUS “justices.”

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!
