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!

Imagine how much worse off we would be if that kid actually had manage to not miss Trump. We would likely still have Biden running for president against God knows what.
Realistically killing john roberts would save american lives, who can say if good or bad.
I could say but won't because I like getting news from Lemmy.
no.
we don't want their side becoming martyrs. this is a bad idea.
its more of a trolley problem thought exercise.
The overturn of roe alone has probably lead to several deaths. Who are you or I to say his life is more valuable than others,
no. for a hundred years we'd be hearing 'if they hadn't murdered our donald'.
no.
they still mourn the confederacy
Based and extra-points-for-Thomas pilled.
You could have made the same point without being disgusting by saying impeach.
I understand your frustration. I really, really do. But the trouble with political violence is that it doesn't end there. Look at our justice system - it isn't about making people whole, it's about getting even. That's what the other 40% of America will do. I don't want a civil war in my lifetime.
We the people cannot impeach.
Bro, please stop. It's a bad look, it's morally and ethically wrong, and it hurts our chance at never having to hear Trump's name ever again.
You should be banned and your comment should be deleted. If you want to be a dumbfuck, please do it into the mirror like your apparent role model, Travis Bickle.
Maybe politicians should think about violence when they destroy so many peoples lives for their corporate overlords.
