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!

And to stay out of prison, don't forget that. If he hadn't stolen the election, he'd be in prison right now, with more time on the way.
One of many t things I don’t get about his groupies. They have four years to exploit the country where they are effectively above the law, but how can they not expect justice after that? They should all be considering whether they’re going to prison in five years
The wheel of justice eventually coming around is my only hope. And I live for the day that Trump legacy comes crashing down upon them
Who is going to put them in prison?
Even if the democrats come back into power, they'll be too wussy to punish the genocidal maniacs who were in power before them
Always have been.
Politics has always pendulums back and forth. We may have swung way out in one direction but I still have hope it will swing back again, we will have elections again, people will want hope and change, want to add truth to the meaningless platitudes they made the mistake of voting for.
If we return to democracy, return to the rule of law, justice can happen
Totally. It’ll happen in like 50 years. Many of us will be dead by then, including those in power rn.
Sure, if that all happens, but it won't. We're in a new world now. Rachel Maddow said it the other night: We're no longer waiting for IT to come, it's here. All the things we were warning against during the campaign have now arrived, and will continue to arrive. We are no longer warning about the danger of a Fascist Government, we now have that Fascist Government.
So your confidence in fair elections, or even having elections at all, is misplaced.
First of all, they ALL believe fervently that they will rule forever, no matter what it takes, up to and including literally killing Democrats, of it has to come to that.
Secondly, they believe, and rightfully so, based on history, that the Democrats will do absolutely nothing to punish them in any substantial way.
IF the Dems ever regain power, it will only be because an extremely intelligent candidate stepped up who is willing to go toe-to-toe, and play Hard Ball with the MAGA Nazis. If that person gets elected, and continues with the classic Democratic bluff strategy, (with EVERYBODY knowing their cards) then MAGAs, or something far worse, will regain power in the NEXT election, and then we're probably totally finished as a democracy.
The next Dem prez better come out kicking MAGA balls, or we're screwed forever.
