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!

It almost appears like there's no chance Trump won't go to jail.
Almost. Because he has yet to be punished when blatantly admitting to committing crimes.
I prefer to not set myself up for further disappointment. Remember when it almost appeared certain that Mueller was going to pin Russia conspiracy shit on Trump? All we got was a lot of "sure looks bad but not enough proof to indict" kinda stuff. Whether because he was kept on a tight leash or the investigation cut off too soon idk. Maybe both.
As much corruption as there is in politics at the higher levels, and as much as the richy-riches aren't held to the same legal standard as the rest of us peons, I think it is a good idea to wait and see and not get ahead of ourselves.
There appeared no chance that he would win the 2016 elections so... I'll believe it when I see it.
Gotta thank the electoral college (again) for that
Came down to like 100k votes in a handful of swing states that gave him the win.
Oh sure. But my point is that he should have been in jail even before he was a candidate. The justice system failed the American people years ago. I hope I'm wrong and he finally goes to prison.
The first criminal trial is March 2024, election in November. I don't think he'll be in jail before the election, and it's hard to know what is going to happen, but he might win.
Considering how dumb trump is, he may just incriminate himself on day 1 of the trial, the jury deliberates and its all over by lunch.
Lol is that possible? Things can get weirder from here I guess.
He will be headed for prison or in prison until a republican wins the presidency.
I read this as "beheaded" at first and got excited
