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!

He won't get impeached. It's been well past time we start using that second amendment so many love to go on and on about, but never actually take advantage of.
He should have been imprisoned after January 6th. He should have been imprisoned for stealing documents. He should have been imprisoned for being in the Epstein files. Yet here we are, America baby!
He should have been in prison decades earlier for fraud. But here we are. Trump is a metastasized tumor of the cancer that is the billionaire class.
i know someone who is in prison for life for less fraud than krasnov has committed. the injustice infuriates me (not that my acquaintance is in prison, long story, that krasnov is not)
Legal consequences are for the poor.
if my acquaintance pays back the money he defrauded from people and lenders and the government he wouldn't be poor though
This guy is wearing so much plot armor fr.
At worse he will be impeached but there will be no effort to remove, meaning absolutely nothing
I believe there are at least three confirmed attempts on his life to date.
After you, sir. Why not be the change in the world you want to see?
Damn FBI using lemmy now /s
I'm working with my therapist on getting over my extreme fear of guns. Then I'll start hitting the range.
I mean someone definitely tried, almost got the dude too
Turns out, you don't actually need a good guy with a gun.
You need a guy who is good with guns.
Yeah all of this could have been avoided if one numpty had properly set his windage.
Maybe take a hint from the Ukrainians and fly a tethered drone in next time.
The rest of the world is waiting.
The rest of the world needs to swoop in and save us at this point. The new nazi party and several pro-fascism democrats are making sure this shit continues unabated.
No, American citizens sitting on their asses are allowing this to continue unabated. We’ve been telling you for about 3 decades what path you were on and were met with belligerent shitty USA USA USA chants and flag waving.
