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!

So should the guy with 34 felonys, but here we are.
34 felonies so far.
Yeah, that goes back down to 0 if his lawyers get the judge to toss all the evidence from when he was president
If you knew ANYTHING about the case you'd realize that isn't going to happen.
The Stormy Brown pay off was during the campaign, tho.
When has the truth ever been an obstacle?
The illegal payoff and his money ganes began outside his presidency. They are state convictions.
SCOTUS did not invalidate those.
I dunno where you're going with your aggrieved post-truth rhetoric, but the truth did and does matter.
I am saying that if they put the orange turd back in the Oval Office, and let's say New York sentences him to prison, what will happen?
This person is a convicted rapist, fraudster and who knows what else, and he has not seen any consequence. Will he?
We'll have to find out. Legally, he gets equal treatment.
It's his first felony conviction but there are 34 of them.
That fucker shouldn't drop out of the race, he should be disqualified for treason and thrown in jail for his multitude of crimes.
And while I'm dreaming, I'd like a pony, too
Jail is too nice, unless you mean chained to a wall and fed gristle until he croaks
That guy should resign the same way the Nazi he idolizes did.
He should, yes. But he won't, and we need someone who can beat him.
Yeah, but Biden is 2½ years older! /S
Standing against a guy that's a raving lunatic doesn't make it OK to be senile. Hilary was a shit candidate and look what that got us.
Are we forgetting that he cheated to win? Like it's proven that the Russians used social media to convince people to vote for Trump. Whether or not Trump directly paid for it is speculation. But they can put Jaret Kushner and Donald Jr. In the same room with the same people several times.
