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 wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.
That’s cool n shit, but the Republic is dying and we need Lady Justice to fucking haul ass.

There's a real precise window of time the wheels of justice have to finish grinding before they hit the concrete barrier at the end of the road
JUST HIT THE FUCKING BOLLARD
Did you scroll away too fast? Man, I can’t believe it sheared that engine block clean in half!
How does one reconcile that statement with the aphorism "Justice delayed is justice denied"?
It is an aphorism after all, it's missing a ton of nuance.
Are we delaying justice temporarily to ensure it sticks or covers all crime that came to light late? I wouldn't say that's justice denied.
Are we delaying justice temporarily to ensure it's applied properly? I wouldn't say that's justice denied either
Now if we're talking about delaying justice as a way to cover for the defendant eg constantly delaying proceedings till people forget about it and then silently dropping it then hell yeah that's justice denied
Ken Paxton says “howdy”. Somehow, all of his trials just find endless delays.
The US judicial system just delays justice against the rich and powerful - the rest of us get railroaded to hell.
Justice is always delayed otherwise it’s just retaliation.
Tell that to the people who rot in prison for decades before being exonerated and receive little to no compensation when they're freed (if they're freed at all).
Fapper_McFapper is right.
"The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding fine."
