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!

yeah...good luck with that
Guaranteed the Justice Department got everything in order before raiding a former president's residence. This is just adding to his many public humiliations.
Don't try to sue the Justice Department. They literally don't bring cases that they can lose. Plus they're all top lawyers who can triple their salary elsewhere. Even the FBI is afraid of them.
I know one of these guys. They're very nice but will rip your throat out (rhetorically). They could convict you of a felony and you would end up agreeing with them.
Trump is not intending to win this. It's purely performative, to give his voters a reason to believe that all of Trump's troubles are politically motivated, and to keep his conversation with them on his terms.
The election is only 3 months away. Either he wins the election, and he can appoint a AG who can make this all go away, or he loses, and is likely going to jail regardless of the outcome of this. So this "lawsuit" only has to live until the election is settled, through all the recounts, whining, and Capitol storming. It doesn't need to reach a conclusion at all.
What difference does an airtight case make when you have a litany of judges, all the way up to the supreme court, that will happily twist the law to rule in your favor?
He doesn't have any of that. These judges are more loyal to the Heritage Foundation, not Trump. He just signed their appointment papers.
Hopefully we get the "bad guy falls in poop...classic element of physical comedy" part in November
For anyone wondering this was from a 4th wall breaking moment in the Brendan Frasier movie George of the Jungle
One day Jerboa will do gifs. Until then, I will see only that one guy's face staring at me.
With the current SCOTUS? I don't think he will need it 😮💨
Yo what is this from?
George of the Jungle
Oh yeahhh, thanks
