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!

His lawyers need to STFU fr.
This is the real Superbowl. A coworker of mine told me he treated Election Day as the super bowl each year, taking the day after off so he could stay up and watch the content all night.
I'm starting to see his point. I have paid attention to so much more political news the last couple years than I ever did before, and I'm really looking forward to this conference and the coverage of it afterwards.
True story coming up. I had a pretty major surgery the night of the Georgia run off election. The very first thing I asked when I remembered how to talk was "did Herschel lose?" I don't live anywhere near Georgia, but I just really had to know if that stupid fucker ended up losing. Last I knew when I got put under was it was pretty even, but way too early to call.
I woke up and after seeing all my siblings come to visit, I asked about politics. None of them had a clue what I was talking about. But I finally got motor control back and turned the room TV on to check on it. I don't think it was yet called at that point, but it was soon after. I was so happy. I don't know much about Warnock, but at least he won't be trying to join werewolf committees.
It was still way closer than it any business being.
Sorry about the random rant, that memory just hit me while I was typing.
Well I mean he is their client so technically, legally they have to do everything they can to the best of their ability to win. That said, they are fucking stupid for taking him on as a client. I can't believe he can even still get lawyers. Knowing how badly he's scraping the bottom of the barrel, all I can assume is that he is finding the most desperate, pathetic, trash lawyers in the entire system at this point. The ones who scraped through school with a C- average.
Gotta be pretty damn desperate to take on a client you know won't pay you...
I assume the bet is to get famous in conservative circles and pick up a pundit position on TV.
Attorneys are typically on a retainer so... But these ones might not be very smart.
They willingly work for Trump... What more do you need?
Nah. My favorite team actually made the super bowl recently. They lost, and it sucked. I was kinda upset about it for maybe a day, but there were no real consequences.
There are definitely funny moments that pop up with Trump's illegal shit. The 4 seasons landscaping presser, and potentially this one, etc, but overall, if my "team" loses this whole thing, then it's going to be a real problem. For everybody.
Yeah, my team won the NBA championship in 2016 but the happiness was quickly and painfully overshadowed by Trump's presidential victory. Sports don't really mean shit.
Oh man I feel this. Lifelong Cubs fan, they finally won the world series in 2016, Trump was elected a week later
Yeah, thanks for reminding me of that shit. I'm also a lifelong Indians (/Guardians) fan and it was tremendous fun to watch all those Cubs fans celebrating in Cleveland and then getting Trump as a pick-me-up.
