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!

I won't get my hopes up until after the seizure/liquidation order is executed, and he's got to start selling shit, everything about and around Trump shows the rich in the United States live by different rules when it comes to the courts, and there's always another delay or stay or appeal, that the normal citizen wouldn't be granted or have access to, especially Trump since he and the Republican party control over half the sitting judges which decide these things
It's a little fun watching him squirm, but only so much, because then there's the inevitable let down of the stay, or appeal, or case falling apart, or supreme court review, or prosecutor disqualification, or some other fucking infuriating bullshit
Justice delayed is justice denied
Even if it all goes as it should, and he sees at least some consequence, it's a travesty that it took so long. Even if he was behind bars today, the damage to what passes for justice in the US is done.
Rich people are above the law.
I hear they’re tasty though, well marbled and tender
This is at least a case his Supreme Court can't interfere in.
Tribunal of Six
I'm glad his supporters have given him all their money at this point. Nowhere for these fuckers to go to beg for money except the very obvious and illegal sources which will land his ass in even more hot water. Agents of the court are all up in his banking business, and he can't work his way out of this one without getting caught red handed doing something...hopefully.
The only reason he’s gotten away with it so far is that people thought he was rich. But since it’s all loans, it turns out he’s not. As a result, he’s starting to have to play by the normal people rules, and that’s going to suck for him.
