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 doesn't want unchecked power.

He wants to fucking murder millions of people.

Unchecked power was already handed to him by the "supreme court".

If you have to ask why the quotes, don't bother asking.

Unchecked power would be what allows him to do so.

It would also allow him not to.

Unchecked power need not murder people.

He's already got what he wanted in that regard.

He still wants to eradicate the vermin.

As opposed to Biden/Kamala, who only want to systematically kill around 2 million people.

“Yesterday, we learned that Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly, a retired four-star general, confirmed that while Donald Trump was president, he said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler,” she said.

“Donald Trump said that because he does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution, he wants a military that is loyal to him.”

I'm patiently sitting in the Facebook comments for this article waiting for one of his followers to say "if you don't have anything nice to say about Adolf Hitler..."

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

make the comment and see if anyone notices the saecasm.

Biden finally taught Harris the secret of his "Biden blast" move

"I have now taught you everything I know about fighting malarkey."
