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!

No one should be applauding what has happened to Trump or his associates. Our country is so divided that we should all be sure we are standing for the "traditional" rule of law and we should not be accepting any ruling that has politicized the law no matter what side of the political spectrum we are associated with.

couldn't have said it better myself, DJ from the comment section. the fact that Giuliani continues to say things like the "Biden regmie" to trick conservative supporters is disgusting, but what else is someone like him going to do when they are this desperate..

Rudy says 'Biden regime' because he is a Russian stooge and Putin loves calling his opposition a regime. Just doing the bidding of his master.

Per Wikipedia:

In politics, a regime (also "régime") is the form of government or the set of rules, cultural or social norms, etc., that regulate the operation of a government or institution and its interactions with society. The two broad categories of regimes that appear in most literature are democratic and autocratic.

So there is of course a "regime" ruling the US, it's mostly democratic system that Biden, and as of yet Trump is also part of. Anyone outside of that regime wants serious changes about how the US is led, and is not participating in the current system - where the only real rule is that change in leadership is at least supposed to be by the people and bloodless. Point is, if you are not part of the "Biden regime", which is basically the democratic system the US has, you are calling for a violent overthrow of it by a minority.

Words should have meaning, and he should definitely be called out on publicly supporting sedition.
