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!

Pleaded guilty to a felony and she gets probation and community service? I got community service for a drinking ticket in college. I should've tried to overthrow democracy instead. She should be kissing the court's feet she isn't in prison.
Tries to steal electron for Trump: 5 years probation
Steals and distributes Trump's tax records: 5 years prison and the judge wishing they could throw more against the terrorist to democracy
I came here to make exactly the same point. Fuck the United States judicial system.
Like any other organized crime operation where the boss has others do his dirty work, the only way that you are going to get the boss is by convincing the foot soldiers to give up the boss. Unfortunately, it means having to make deals with the small fish to catch the whale.
Did you have connections and money? Very important step.
Your starting build is also important. White Christian rich lady is basically “story mode”
I’ve already started but I’m finding that life is more difficult than I prefer. Can I change the difficulty?
Ideally, I’d like a sandbox mode. I don’t really see how I’m supposed to buy a house or afford both healthcare and groceries at the same time. If I could just have more money and opportunities in general then it would be a much better experience.
Sandbox mode is rare, only the NG+ of a certain few cheaters have unlocked it.
If not, at least have a backup plan: someone to flip on in exchange for a sweetheart deal.
Agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors against Trump and co-defendants is the reason she’s not in prison.
Really? No consequences for the orange turd so far. Just saying.
Agreeing to cooperate in the case is no guarantee it’ll be successful.
Hell the trial probably won't even happen, this judge and the Georgia Supreme Court are only starting to throw sand in the engine.
She pled out in a RICO case. It's standard for the first ones to flip to get sweetheart deals. Powell and Chesebro also got off easy. It's to incentivize small fish to flip early on the big fish to bolster the case.
Does it satisfy our collective justice boners? No. This is pretty SOP though.
Yup exactly. The goal is to get her to flip with a sweetheart deal, because now she’s forced to testify against everyone else involved. Either she testifies, or the deal gets ripped out from underneath her and she goes down with the rest of them.
To be fair, they're going after bigger, slippery-er fish
Honestly, she is more useful for prosecutors and I'm actually ok with her not doing prison time as long as she is 100% onboard on putting the Cheeto Mussolini behind bars.
