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!

I don't suppose we could deport Trump... to, idunno. belarus? its sort of like russia, right?

After the swifties defeat him in November they will deport him to Guantanamo. They have a nice facility down there that gets lots of sun and the sea breeze is quite nice.

NY gets first dibs, I hope that judge sends him to Rikers, even just for a week.

Sending Trump to Rikers would be both hilarious and a great way to make Republicans finally start caring about the inhuman conditions that exist there.

I'll gladly volunteer Colorado. ADX Florence is a perfect spot for him.

I mean, that’s probably the “legal” way to do it,

But I’m just going to idly say dream about idly air dropping over Moscow with nothing but a diaper and parachute. Also a tattoo that says “purchased as is, no returns, no refunds.”

Tucker can take him on a tour

Fun fact, learned this over labor day weekend. There is a family friend whom is in the throws of senility. The family isn't well off but they have him in an old folks home... in Thailand. The kids says cost is super cheap, and the care he gets is "great" so I'm told. Now, the issue is that some of the siblings want him back in the US, where they can not afford to keep him I. The care he has now is much better than what the family can afford, and none of the family are willing to take care of him themselves. They just want him back.

I bring this up so as to say. Maybe his kids send him to Japan, where the elderly tend to die alone and quietly. I dont imagine he will know how to use a phone in the next few years

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

But, for a country I've never visited... I rather like Japan. Lets not inflict him on people that don't deserve it!

(what? Ramen is amazing.)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Japan’s way pricier than Thailand. I’ve been to both in the last 6 months.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I'm thinking more North Korea.

Deport him to my basement.
