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!

He lost his business empire and has to pay more than $450m. How is that not consequences?
He lost his ability to do business in one state, which likely just means he'll do it by proxy
And I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he weasels his way out of paying somehow
He has a deadline of 30 days to pay, and in order to appeal he first has to put 110% of the amount owing in escrow.
I'll believe he'll pay when he pays. I see no reason to start thinking he's going to do what he's supposed to, required to, do when that's never been what he's done. I honestly doubt he'll give up that money until it's forcibly pulled from his accounts.
Maybe this time will be different and the rules will actually apply to him. Maybe this time Lucy won't pull that football back. Until that actually happens, forgive me if I'm sceptical that things are going to be different this time around.
He won’t. Stop spreading misinformation.
What misinformation am I spreading? That I think something is or isn't going to happen?
I assure you that it is very accurate that I'm prepared to see him find some way to weasel out of this, and I'm not sure how you could possibly know whether or not I think the things I say I think.
Again: I'll believe it when it happens. Not before then. I'm done believing the right thing will happen when it comes to him since it so rarely has.
