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!

If we could lock him up before election season really kicks in that would be great… otherwise I’m scared for our democracy.
First president elected from prison. The crazies uniting behind their martyr.
Plot twist: he can still run (and be elected) from prison.

If you weren't scared before, you haven't been paying enough attention.
Won't happen.
First Republican debate is 8/23. We won't even have a trial date for the Jan. 6 stuff until 8/28.
Primary calendar is here:

Trump has 2 trial dates set so far, New York in March and Florida in May.
1st trial is 15 days after Super Tuesday.
2nd trial is before just a handful of states.
Which is fucking insane why are they pushing the trails so far out?
Caseload. The D.C.courts have 800 cases pending for 1/6 alone, not counting any other crimes.
NY most likely has similar load issues. The Florida case has the added bonus of needing lawyers with security clearances.
Well, can't those 800 douches move to the back of the line? They should be making way for their leader.
Wow, 800 January 6 cases? That's going to make a lot of people happy.
But why? Didn't Biden beat him? Not that I'm a fan of Biden, but the majority of Americans dislike Trump more than Biden.
The crazies have not been getting less crazy, and they're doing their best to convert as many fence-sitters as possible.
But its not just about who wins and who loses the presidential election. There's also down-ticket races, as well as the increased extremism that this ongoing spectacle is pushing on all parts of the political spectrum.
Just going to point out that convicting and jailing him does not disqualify him from holding office, and would likely just embolden his base.
