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!

Judge: Do you recognize the defendant, sitting at the table right there?

Jr: I’ve never met this man in my life.

Closer to the truth than he’d want us to think.

Like 'Mr Trump Jr.' doesn't spend most days hoping he'll make his father not regret naming him junior, kinda like Mr Trump senior's father relation if I've understood things, though in senior's case I think it's just getting the name Trump. They're worse than the Bluths and not nearly as funny to watch. Not to mention much less Ron Howard voiceovers which doesn't help their amusement.

Just wanted to add, for those that don't know (probably not needed but still) Arrested Development was a comedy about a rich family of real estate types that had their comeuppance, well I'm foggy on the outcome but they had law troubles due to some light treason, and other shady issues. If you've read this far just watch it on Netflix it's one of the most clever comedies you'll come across, if you enjoy British humour from an American angle.

Rudy Giuliani holding a press conference on a parking lot right next to a porn shop because someone didn't check which 4 Seasons it was is definitely Arrested Development level of funny :D

Change “testifies” to “lies” and I’ll believe it.
