Basically they dared us to act or submit.

those boxes seem to be getting ticked mighty fast.

[-] VubDapple@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Excellent concise summary

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Us? We were granted no such immunity.

[-] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Depends on which side of history you’re on.

[-] danekrae@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Yet I bet the majority of americans are sitting behind the computer complaining about how much of a shithole country they live in, and are therefore submitting.

If anybody take offense to my use of language, please remember that it is actually a presidential sentence. If your the people americans vote for can dish it, you can take it.

America's been a shithole for 20 years, the terrorists fucking won. Happy 4th of July btw

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 7 points 4 months ago

20? Please. It's never been great for people of color or lgbtq, and several others, and for the majority, it's been at least since the 80s the downward spiral began.

America never was America to me

People need to do more than just vote. Democracy is not just about voting. Get out side, into the streets

Has the Supreme Court just overturned Betteridge's Law of Headlines?

[-] qprimed@lemmy.ml 26 points 4 months ago

n.. ye.. goddammit!

[-] OsaErisXero@kbin.run 10 points 4 months ago

That this has all of a sudden occurred, and so consistently, is in some ways more frightening than the headlines on their own.

[-] trafficnab@lemmy.ca 31 points 4 months ago

It's extremely frightening but now that the rule of law is dead in America, I am forced to ask myself, what are my red lines? One person in this country has almost completely unchecked power, what would a criminal president have to do before I start condoning violence?

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

They've shown outright it's all about what you can get away with.

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago

Finally someone gets it.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 23 points 4 months ago

The $upreme Corp. is off the rails. Time for a nationwide protest and perhaps a nationwide labor strike.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

It honestly feels like they're not giving us any other choice.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago

You do have a choice. You can just lay there and take it. You know, like that asshole from the Heritage Foundation wants you to do.

[-] trafficnab@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I'm running out of boxes of liberty here

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

It's wild they think they won't be the first casualties of their own illegitimacy.

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago
[-] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago

Abso-fucking-lutely.

[-] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Next up: they'll have to rule on what constitutes an 'official act'. Then they'll blame the committee that assigned/ advised the action, leaving the king unscathed as usual.

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!
