Bove faced credible allegations of telling DOJ attorneys to defy court orders. Republicans confirmed him to a seat on a U.S. appeals court anyway.

    I mean, assuming the republicans ever lose power, why should any of the conventions of the past be upheld? Why should not every single judge appointed by the republicans be removed from their positions?

    Trump has shown you that the rules don’t matter when you are in power, fucking learn the lesson already

      Trump is so transparent, his evil henchmen even look evil! I mean look at that gormless, single-digit IQ pig Tom Homan, the Cruella-looking Tulsi Gabbard, the worm-for-brains RFK Jr. with the tombstone voice, and now this children-scaring motherfucker: they’re so caricatural they could have been cast as Dr. Evil’s henchmen.

      I guess all that’s missing is a cat called Mr. Bigglesworth sitting on Trump’s lap.

        Indeed, I think the Americans’ only recourse left at this point is the fourth box of liberty. The problem is, the powers that be have understood that they need to outgun the citizenry if they want to stay in power forcibly. So they’ve militarized the police to the point that it’s simply impossible to overpower it. And all of them surround themselves with multiple layers of bodyguards, so they’re impossible to approach.

          More violent authoritarian regimes have been overthrown by people power. Don’t fall into the learned helplessness trap.

        Incoming “You can’t blame them for not wanting to vote Harris!”

        Yes I can and it is 100% deserved what comes to them. A vote against Harris is a vote for genocide and the absolute destruction of the rule of law.

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.

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
