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!

MODERATORS
People said he wouldn't be prosecuted, and he was.
People said he wouldn't get indicted, and he was.
People said he wouldn't get convicted, and he was.
Now we're waiting on sentencing and carrying out that sentence, and people say that won't happen, either.
The justice system is slow, especially at the federal level. Some of that is due to deliberation, some of that is due to federal judges having too high of a case load, and some of that is due to the fact that Trump is a former President, and prosecutors and judges have to handle that very carefully. If acquitted, that's it, prosecutors rarely have grounds for appeal. They need to walk into the court room with an airtight case.
If you follow other federal cases, this kind of timeline is completely expected.
Except for Judge Cannon. She's just blatantly pulling things in Trump's favor. The rest are doing their job. Edit: oh, and the Supreme Court, of course. They just fucked a lot of things.
So what I'm hearing is... he's getting away with everything forever?
Look on a more serious note, I do think if he fails to become president again his luck probably has run out. The bad news is, between winning legitimately and stealing the election through House vote, Trump still is probably odds even to become president again - if not better.
I know there is a chance sentencing and carrying out of it happens before the election, but I'll believe it when I see it.
Dude he's always going to get away with it, he eats like shit and he'll be dead soon anyway. The important thing is to implicate his conspirators that will be around for decades longer doing more fucked up shit in the background.
