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!

Would making Trump face justice undo any of his crimes?

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The same could be said for any crimes, yet we still punish those criminals. I simply think he should be held to account like any other human would be.

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Exactly, punishment as a concept is a backwards method of solving crime.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So, the solution in your opinion is…?

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 23 hours ago

Rehabilitation and harm reduction.

At this point it is more important to not have him damage the world any further than to get justice. I'll be happy if he stops being president even if he doesn't get any sort of justice coming for him. This just has to stop.

you think this will end with dumpy? The oligarchs have already planned for dumpy's demise. The call him baby faced vance.

They won't get far without the support of Americans. Vance won't rally the Trump cultists.

It's not an actual dictatorship. Yet.

I don't even care if he dies, just let him drool in a corner somewhere.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It would certainly mitigate the impact of his crimes on his many victims.
