Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

And then you have absolute dick holes like this
POINT OF PROCESS!
Suspending the right to a trial is ACTUALLY under the jurisdiction of Congress. No argument with the explicit justification of crushing rebellion, just that the Cheeto is doing it instead of a bipartisan Committee on Un-American Activities.
The Constitution is shit. It is a slaveowner document. The Bill of Rights, in a vacuum of both textual and historical context, is okay, but all these motherfuckers who wax poetic about The Constitution need to actually read Articles I-V. They need to read the Federalist papers. They need to understand this was meant to be a plantation / finance / settler colonial aristocracy from the very beginning. The bicameral legislature was literally designed to undermine democracy. The electoral college was literally designed to undermine democracy. There has been an outspoken contempt for the will of the people from the very founding of this republic. The "founders" don't even attempt to hide this in their literature. They explicitly state this as their motivation on several occasions.
In the first couple years of Trump 1.0, I got the impression that the USA had lost its way. I started reading a bunch of this shit, trying to figure out where things had gone wrong. What I discovered was that everything is actually working exactly as intended.
