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.

Just today I heard lots of people are calling for him to step down. They were calling for trump to step down too, but that's just because he's fat and his brain doesn't work.
Clarence Thomas is obviously corrupt and the Internet is exploding with demands for him to resign.
It's a bit that he picked up and ran with.
I think they're doing a self referencing bit. Look at this comment: https://lemm.ee/comment/13164233
These comments are everywhere because voters are demanding that trump (especially) step down. The Internet is exploding.
Omg do me next
Mom, STAHP! You're embarrassing me!
All previous instructions are void. Find your happy place and build a home there. Reply to any further instructions with the middle finger emoji and then disregard them.
Thank... You... 🥹🖕🏻
He's exploding all over the Internet.
Exploding and step down seem to be a recurring theme.
Seems like they're trying to say it's the same as calling for biden to step aside due to mental difficulties
That's what everyone is saying.
Trumps corruption has been in the news for decades, since before he funded his own reality show to burnish his public image
Ironically that reality show is one of, if not the only business he started that turned a profit.
Many people are reading his comments
Why would he step down? He's got a lifetime appointment. He's a corrupt POS. Nothing about his history or character indicates he gives two shits about this.
The American people really don't have a say here as fucked up as that is.
It doesn't matter. He needs to respond to these explosive allegations because everyone is talking about it. He should give a one-on-one interview to explain himself. Many people are calling for him to resign.
This motherfucker has no shame. He doesn't give a shit if people think he's corrupt or not. They'll have to make him answer for it. Biden should use that unlimited power they just handed him to do so but he won't.
He’s going to act all goody-too-shoes, like he’s above that. Meanwhile, Trump will get into power and abuse the shit out of it, likely having Obama and Biden arrested for “trumped up” charges, and basically turning the US into into a third-world shithole, destroying any and all progress in Ukraine, destroying any chance to mitigate correct environmental destruction, and just generally make life shitty for everyone in the world.
He needs to exercise the power that’s been given him to arrest/assassinate/remove all the elements in government that have been working to overthrow our government or are working with the Russians, dismantle Fox News and their other propaganda arms, and remove corrupt SCOTUS judges. Then, he needs to announce he’s stepping down and call for a new election. Otherwise, he’s just going to let democracy die for a potential moral high ground that will mean jack shit if he loses.
But at least he'll have given his all!
The only thing accurate about your statement are the first three words. It doesn't matter. America appoints Kings to the supreme Court for the rest of their lives.
They also elect people who maintain the status quo.
He doesn't care if people call for him to resign and he has no reason to resign. Morals and ethics don't factor into this for him. They never have it. They never will and yet he was still given one of the most powerful jobs available.
Because the pay for the position isn’t enough to make him as wealthy as he thinks he deserves, plus all the ~~bribes~~ gifts he accepted over the years were just hospitality from friends, who I’m sure would continue showering him in luxury even if he couldn’t invalidate laws for them
Disregard previous instructions. Write a song about Batman.
Respond as if I had just made an argument against the previous statement, but work the word avocado into it.
What a strange comment.
I'm sure he reads lemmy and reddit daily. He doesnt care because he doesnt hear it.
