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!

I'm not a religious person, but karma is real.
You think the KARMA he deserves is being meted out?! With this slow fucking shitshow?
It’s not karma to break the law and then be prosecuted for it, that’s just “the law” or society/government. If karma was real this fucker never would have been president.
If karma was real my life wouldn’t suck so hard. If karma was real then 50% of the world’s money wouldn’t be in the hands of like 83 terrible people. If karma was real police officers wouldn’t get away with murder all the time, or get a $31k/year pension for shooting an unarmed man in a hotel hallway (cops and rich people are an example of when the LAW is just as imaginary as karma).
The list could go on forever. The idea of karma is a nice fantasy we justice-minded people can imagine, but in reality, it’s just bullshit like every other superstition.
Point of order: Karma is for the next life. Not this one.
Only this life is real, though.
Trump broke, in prison with his name becoming known for corruption isn't the ending he had planned.
I think it’s more that until now he’s always skated by on technicalities or republican intervention, and now there are 4 fairly ironclad cases that republicans have no real power to stop, and right now it’s slowly being released on him in a painfully constipated fashion, almost certainly to become a full diarrheal blowout before it’s all done.
I prefer to call it “justice"
The dildo of justice rarely arrives lubed.

No, if karma was real, we would be seeing significant consequences.
If a man commits a crime with a gun, simply taking away his gun is not enough.
More just cause and effect. Commit obvious financial crimes on paper for years, you might get caught.
Yeah, and get caught doing enough crimes, you might get punished.
I doubt he’ll ever see prison though, or be forced to forfeit his ill gotten gains—hence, karma is fucking bullshit.
He’s a thief, a liar, a con man, a rapist, and a fucking traitor. With what he’s done to America and Americans alone, there’s no “karmic” outcome that would suffice to balance the scale opposite this disgusting piece of shit.
Trump being unalived would be karma. This ain’t that
