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!

The day that I see Trump in handcuffs is the day I'll be opening a nice bottle of champagne with dinner. Same goes for the day it's confirmed that he's ineligible for running for office again and the day he receives a prison sentence.
We're up to 4 Trump Indictment Days in our house. Don't wait, they're all special occasions.
You celebrate Indictmas too?
I'm looking forward to St. Verdict's Day and Jailsgiving too!
Well-done steak with ketchup, just like Donnie likes it.
Unfortunately there's nothing preventing him from running for president out of prison. God forbid if you're a disgusting foreigner, but trying to overthrow the government in the highest act of treason since the civil war? Nah, go ahead mister president.
We'll see. I won't pretend to know much of anything about the law, but I saw a news article about some lawyers who recently concluded that an article of the 14th amendment actually does prevent him from holding office.
And yeah, on paper the law applies to everyone but clearly that's far from the truth. Seems like Trump's consequences are finally starting to catch up with him though.
The "no rebels or insurrectionists in office" clause? That only takes effect of he's actually convicted. And then, of course, he'll ignore the court ruling, whine about persecution, appeal the case, and continue doing whatever the duck he wants until he's physically restrained.
Yeah I think that's the one. He might be convicted soon, I think. I hope.
