Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

I prefer that he gets locked in syndrome for a few years. A taste of hell before he goes to the real one.

Personally, I'm hoping we can strip the family of enough wealth that they're all left destitute. Anything less will just encourage copy-cats.

Copy cats? Trump is the copy cat. The original was born in 1889 in Austria.

Nah, let them keep an income of $80k/yr each. Make a reality show out of old money trying to live modestly as middle class. I'd subscribe to HBO Max for that.

Also make sure there's an accountant with some charisma to explain their bank account balance in every episode. Need to make sure they aren't getting other sources of income. Ideally, make the accountant a black woman. Not like a skinny pretty one like you'd find hosting the news...no, one with some meat and attitude. She'll be the host too.

I'd happily settle for a massive stroke with aphasia and a droopy face.

How would we know?

Like what happened to that dude from Metallica's "One"

Nothing but his own internal monologue and no interaction with the rest of the world? That's basically a campaign rally for him. He'd love it.

No he wouldn't. There would be no one to give him external validation, which extreme narcissists crave.

Ranting and raving in his own mind, with no one to tell him he's a good boy or the yugest, bigliest smartest man to ram the ramparts, would be the worst kind of hell he could suffer.
