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!

Can you still be president if you're incarcerated? lol
This came up a couple months ago. Apparently there is no law against it, and if elected he could just pardon himself. BS if you ask me!
A pardon is an admission of guilt. I wonder how that would play out with the general public? Oh who am I kidding, Trump sycophants won't give a shit.
Federal crimes can be pardoned by the president but this could still get complicated because NY and Georgia are bringing state level charges.
I doubt very much that a president can pardon himself. If he could, why did no one, not even Nixon, who just won reelection, not use that power in over 200 years? Why not suspend Congress and govern by executive order? I mean, it violates the Constitution to prevent Congress critters from participating in a legislative session except in cases of Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, but who cares? The President can self-pardon! Lock them all up if they're being a pain in the ass.
It would completely upend the rule of law. Not even this clown car of a Supreme Court would allow that.
Eeh, if they push for violation of the espionage act, he is screwed as he can no longer run for public office.
"Bring some Cokes in please" 🤦 that's how you know it's real
Idk, he said “please”. sounds pretty sus
💀
That or she just claims it isn't enough of a crime to punish it.
Game Over*
*unless you are rich, in which case, carry the fuck on
No amount of money will save him now. Money will likely put him in a hotel suite under house arrest after conviction though.
Every time this man opens his mouth he admits to another crime.
