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!

You don't understand! The very possibility that any of these ~~oligarchs~~ fine Americans have to spend any time facing any sort of judgment at all is itself proof positive that we've descended into lawless anarchy! The country will fall apart one missed martini lunch at a time!
Don't you see?!? The law is for thee, not me!

Two excellent replies. I have nothing more to add.
Then why say anything?
Their claims to their base that "if they are able to do this to us, they could do it to you" should be the wake up call that snaps the MAGA cult out of its blind devotion.
How the average MAGA cultist can look at Trump et al and feel that they are part of the same group is mind boggling.
they are loss invested. they havd put so much time into it stopping now would only mean all of it was a waste.mental gymnastics aside at that point it would feel like it costs less to contine to the very bottom then stop and turn around.... you know just incase everything starts going your way again.... theres always a chance if you let it fester. best to smother it like a fire. never leave a little burning.
MAGAts are all "temporarily embarrassed millionaires", and thus part of the in-group (as soon as they get their millions)
If they are able to expose my scams they might be willing to expose your scams too!
