        She does seem like the “I’m taking you down with me” type, doesn’t she?

          Pretty much everyone in the GOP is that type. It’s basically a prerequisite to be that selfish

    I mean… she’s not completely wrong, but she could have, you know, not have followed fascist orders too. All on them need to be held accountable

      Not so much not follow orders, but how about go for the job. You don’t get a job like that without going after it and pulling strings. And you could resign at anytime.

    “I was following orders” is not a defense to committing a crime.

      I am equally shocked and completely unsurprised this wooden amalgamation of a parody of a human actually used the “I was just following orders” line. Not a dumb guard or a patrol agent or a desk clerk, but an actual Secretary of Homeland Security. (for whatever prestige or value is held in a position that was invented in 2003 because white people suddenly got scared of Muslims.)

        Well that’s the wonderful thing about being a cult leader. You’re the only one who can solve the problem. So you get whatever you want, you get all the credit when things go well, and when everything goes wrong… you become everyone’s scapegoat. It’s not a valid excuse, but it is human psychology.

    This isn’t her trying to excuse or justify her actions because she senses some looming consequence, this is her reiterating her loyalty to trump and the cause in the face of outside criticism.

    edit: Also maybe push Miller under the bus, the reporting on this is kinda weird. Axios says there’s calls for her resignation, MSN says there’s calls for Miller to face censure… not actually sure what’s true with this one

    edit 2: much better article that explains the situation from Atlanta Black Star

    This is a yes-and moment. I thought it was silly that momentum was building around impeaching noem when what we clearly and obviously need to do is remove Trump. So, yes-and. Yes, impeach noem, AND remove Trump.

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

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.
