Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

France did the thing that Democrats are too scared to. I hope it works
Nothing to do with Democrats. This has everything to do with American Politics; Republican, Democratic, Independent.
Corruptions only friend is freedom from responsibility and accountability. We have that pretty dialed in here in usa.
He was charged. Judge Cannon postponed the hearing past the election. How is that on Democrats?
It's not the job of politicians (or at least it shouldn't be) to prosecute criminals. However, if you count Merrick Garland as a "Democrat", he should have moved on Trump immediately after he left power. Instead, he sat on it. That was the first delay, and Judge Canon was the last. Blaming the last delay is obvious, but not the real story.
Hey, don't stop at Garland. Who was Garland's boss, who could have told Garland to do his fucking job or be replaced by someone who will?
Never forget that failure to deal with Trump is ultimately on Joe Biden and no one else.
That’s fair. I’m not sure of Garland’s motive to delay, other than a lack of constitution. Cannon was quite overtly playing games with the hearing and calendar, so she took the heat.
Garland didn't want to seem like his actions were political retribution, like they claimed it was anyway. He didn't want the perception they already concluded anyway!
Some heat. She's still in office.
Good luck getting 2/3 of the Senate to vote for her impeachment.
there isnt a left in USA THOUGH, democrats are center right at most. they all kinda support some kind authoritarian leader.
You're saying that like the massive variety among them is a monolith
