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!

MODERATORS
He was also literally allowed to walk free on his own recognizance on charges that anyone else would have been held without bail for.
He was also literally allowed to surrender himself voluntarily, and did not have to go through being handcuffed, perp-walked, or have his mugshot taken.
He was also literally allowed to keep his passport and has no travel restrictions even though his all-but-unlimited resources and private planes make him the textbook definition of a flight risk.
He is also literally being coddled by his hand-picked judge in one of the cases, who has repeatedly ruled in his favor multiple times already and said he deserves special treatment because of who he is.
He is also literally continuing to engage in the exact behavior that got him in legal trouble in the first place, and openly daring people to do something about it.
The fact that he was arrested means jack shit. He has never suffered actual consequences a day in his life beyond a few fines that wouldn't even amount to a rounding error on his tax forms. Even in the cases he's facing, many believe that even if he is found guilty, the chances of him seeing jail time are low because of the logistics involved with jailing a former president. At worst, he'll be sentenced to house arrest where after the first 27 or so times he violates the terms of his house arrest, they might hold a hearing to politely ask him not to do it again or next time they'll have to say "or else".
