    Dear Supreme Court: you don’t need to. They can’t.

    Dear Congress: impeach Trump. If someone blocks you, impeach them.

    Dear MAGA idiots: shut up and grow up.

      Yeah, feels a bit too late for that. This isn’t going to stop until the non-fascist Americans drag them out into the streets and dispense justice. People are going to die and the good guys are going to need to organise a whole lot first.

    So, where will that leave Puerto Rican people? Puerto Rico is part of the Untied States but the people look foreign

      Sometimes, I don’t even know why the state option is popular in Puerto Rico. It definitely is; they’ve had two official but non-binding referendum on this in the recent past, and the statehood option was a clear winner. Won by good margins over both maintaining current status or going independent.

      Ultimately, I think it should be up to the people of PR to decide what they want to do, but geeze, this isn’t a great time to join the Union.

        To be fair, they’re already part of the Union whether they want to or not, it’s more a matter of if they get to have political representation or not.

        They made a huge mistake with POTUS the first time by not sending their children to felate him when he showed up to throw paper towels after hurricane Maria.

        The only way for Puerto Rico to become a state is if they all turned Republican and white.

        Hey now, don’t forget Clarence Thomas. He’s worked very hard to be as evil as possible. Sometimes old black men can be racist in their own way.

    This is already illegal.

    Racial profiling is considered illegal in the United States as it violates the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause, which guarantees all individuals protection from discrimination based on race or ethnicity.

    Also, if there is no suspicion of a crime, it is illegal to detain someone. Otherwise that’s kidnapping.

    These issues have been litigated many times.

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.
