    And he’s right, as long as the “resistance” continues doing nothing.

    Every day these people aren’t afraid to leave their homes is a day Americans have failed.

      Wrong argument: he’s literally citing the supremacy clause.

      A better argument would be that same constitution prohibits violation of limits on federal power, especially the bill of rights, enumerated powers, judicial review.

      Let me be devil’s advocate here for a sec.
      Yes it is. Unless a federal law breaks any federal law, international laws, treaties or human rights its latterly the highest level of law in a democratic country in this modern world.

      (And also, i agree with the major. If your community thrives or immigrants fills gaps in the community then fucking let them. Your community is better for it)

    What a shithead, we’ve fought rebellions in this country over goddamn stamps and whiskey, and they really imagine material conditions are good enough that this sort of behavior will be tolerated amidst their ill advised trade war?

        I think Miller is more a mix of Joseph Goebbels and Wormtongue, both sycophants seeking to advance on the backs of others.

        Smeagol was basically a good guy until he was enchanted by evil. Miller brings evil with him.

          I think of Miller as more like Himmler, which is why I call him PeeWee Himmler. Bannon is more analogous to Goebbels.

    It’s somewhat hyperbolic to say a lot on the right are actual nazis, but this dude is the most neo-Nazi motherfucker and deserves everything that should come to Nazis.

      The law doesn’t matter unless the president says it does. We can disagree but it doesn’t matter until he is removed.

      EOs are far more powerful because they trigger actual action by federal agencies.

      It may not be how we learned it in Social Studies, but this is the streets.

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!
