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!

Right after they successfully impeach Trump.

Oh come on, can’t you let us live with the fantasy for a second?
Again. Third time's the charm I guess, not that it'll have any consequences this time either.
Charge him with terrorism and send him to gitmo. We've sent people there for less.
We are currently sending people there for much less
I don't understand the US law etc but my understanding is to do that they need to get the US martial to bring him in. Which unfortunately are under the executive branch (run by the president)
They can roast all they want. They still lost.
They still lost.
America lost. This "finding out" phase is really hard to watch. Is his term over yet?
Its been three weeks... Three very long weeks...
He's still alive, so no.
Did they SLAM him? It's not a real victory if dude wasn't slammed. We gotta resist harder! \s
Some part of me feels that we made a mistake by only giving one branch the power to enforce the law. How can the legislature or judiciary really have any weight behind their words if the executive actually controls all the resources…
