Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Still nothing will happen.
RawStory: You're not going to guess who is REALLY behind THE PRESIDENT! And they're STILL using their WICKED INFLUENCES to CONTROL HIM!
American Pleb: Is it rich people? Specifically, wealthy overseas special interests with ties to the intelligence services?
RawStory: FUCK! We'll have to FIND SOMETHING even more EXPLOSIVE to try and SHOCK YOU MORE next TIME.

I mean, it’s just a nothing comment. Like, what does it add to the discussion? It’s some defeatist bullshit that we really don’t need right now.
Nope. This is all not just allowable, but seemingly acceptable.
At this point, what can happen? Congress is under the same sticky thumb as Trump, and there aren't enough voters who are engaged enough to even know about it. The firehose of bullshit did exactly what it was supposed to do, and now there's no public will left to keep fighting for freedom and democracy.
Military coup. A well respected general that still gives a shit about their country and their pride decides to say 'not on my watch', sends in the troops hot and hard, when least expected. Capture who you can. Eliminate those who can't be. There would be no negative consequences for that person if they succeed.
Pretty sure they sniffed out anyone capable of that and sacked them in the purges. Hell, that was the reason for the purges.
