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!

President Donald Trump is suing the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department, and is seeking $10 billion in damages.

Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization sued the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department in federal court in Miami on Thursday, following the leak of their tax returns by a former IRS employee in 2019 and 2020.

More distraction from his kiddie diddlying/trafficking/protecting his handlers, I see. $10 BILLION LAW SUIT vs the IRS!!! How un-astonishingly absurd and "dead cat on table" of him

Let's sue him ourselves, for... everything‽, in the amount of $1 Trillion dollars! muwhahahahahaaa! That should make him ~~shit his pants~~ back down a little

Or just continue letting him do whatever he wants, because he's captured the "checks and balances" and proven the lack of consequences. That bitch is fucked, it's the puppet-handlers that need to walk the line (if they wanna keep the charade up). And they don't give a fuck, cause they've got the perfect patsy

He can threaten everything once again, but good luck taking that grift to the grave. Salting the earth motherfuckers won't have a habitable Mars to run to, cause they're too busy burning the shit behind them

Enjoy the yachts while you can! I'll enjoy my humanity, meanwhile

He hates that we wont stop talking about him being a pedophile and purposely hiding all the epstien files as they were business partners for years for human trafficking.

Anything to distract away from him getting held accountable.

So far, everything he's done is reversible.

Stealing all our money? Take it back. Liquidate that asshole (or his possessions);

Executive orders? Executive order to nullify/remove/cancel them;

Beefing up ICE? Reduce it

Except the pedophilia of course. That can't be undone, but nothing the legal system can't handle. There are so many others though, someone should invent the Electric Bench.

All we have to do is get someone with half a brain in that office. This is all fixable. But the sooner, the better.

if its just money I think they should acquiesce, go to court pleading guilty and give all the tax money to Trump.

The US is then left in the position of keeping Trump or the economy and I can't imagine the head of every US banking institution and every company from Microsoft down to my local gardener being unable to make money being behind that.
