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!

Why should merchan be lenient when the entire time the orange turd was hurling insults and the system, the judge, the judges family and the jurors while displaying a level of contempt, lack of decorum and respect for the institution, and an absolute lack of contrition?
Donald is a stochastic terrorist urging his Trumpanzee cult to threaten and harass jurors and court staff. He is a danger to society. Hopefully the judge now feels able to take that into account for sentencing, despite failing to take any of that into account during the violations of court orders.
He's full of hot air. Anyone that follows him and does something stupid will fuck it up and end up in jail themselves. Giving him any sort of credence is the problem with the right. They think they seem badass. To most they seem like whiny little babies incapable of accomplishing simple goals other than being the little brother that refuses to eat their broccoli.
Paul Pelosi would like a word. We can't keep giving these terrorists latitude while they practice how to get it right.
I would say that Pelosi is a perfect example of that. Because he's in for 40 years. My point is we can't be scared of their posturing. It's just them trying to be intimidating.
Did you forget about the whole January 6th thing? It'll be even easier to get them to do it a second time since they're even more radicalized now.
No. I did not. But the only death from that was their own and all are being convicted for it. The process is working. It just takes time.
