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.

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!

This author is a fucking crackhead seriously.
The president and his allies will face impeachments, lawsuits, and maybe even The Hague.
What are you even talking about? He is rich, he will just chill for the rest of his life in some mansion. He will "face" nothing, his lawyers will do that for him.
Just like how prince Andrew is. Right.,? He's being held accountable for the treason and sex crimes. Right ?
Surely.
Yeah, Dump'll get the same punishment and have to change his name to Mar-a-montwittenbangerbum for the rest of his life.
He's only charged with leaking state secrets. The pedophile class would never actually prosecute one of their own for crimes they themselves are guilty of.
I believe all multi millionaires+ are pedophiles. They're not exactly doing a great job proving me wrong considering they run everything and we've seen dick and all from them attempting to punish it beyond words.
Big difference between a Millionaire and a Billionaire though. I do not think multi millionaires are pedophiles. Hell you could have that owning a house in some cities.
True. I forget my mom just passed that and she's a teacher. My frame of reference is a little skewed cause I'm kinda poor.
I would not be surprised if he dies in office, regardless if it's less than 4 years or not.
But when it comes to all those around him that enable(d) all these horrors, no effort should be spared in going after them in every possible legal way: Bondi, Noem, Miller, Bannon, Stone, just every single one of them, if still alive, should have constant "lawfare" leveled at them.
The Republicans will never learn any lessons otherwise. Basically nothing happened to any of them the first time around (and for Nixon and for Ronnie Raygun) so they got even worse.
Also, we need to have some carve-outs for pardons for assholes that work for a party and do crimes on their behalf - if you are in prison for doing crimes as a Republican politician in the interest of carrying out the Republican platform, no Republican president should be able to pardon you.
Right now, this would only apply to Republicans, since they are the only ones doing this kind of thing.
If you only attempt to prosecute the current executive branch, you will end up in a worse position over time. Corporations that participated in the open corruption by donating to his swearing in must be held accountable, criminally. The senators and congressmen who supported his obviously unconstitutional policies must be removed from office at the very least. The judges at all levels who very obviously ignored the constitution in pursuit of a fascist agenda with i'm sure a large quantity of kick-backs have to be disbarred.
Obviously this would require a complete overhaul of the existing structure and so has absolutely no chance of happening, but in reality, it's the only "lawful" way to stop the continuous slide to right and perhaps allow justice to prevail for the next few decades.
He will commit suicide before relinquishing the Oval Office is my guess.
I prefer he be Mussolinied.
Stop. I can only get so erect…
Nah man that does nothing for me. Suicide is the most peaceful way out he could possibly ask for. Its a tragedy that Hitler managed to kill himself before being publicly skinned alive.
It’s Trump. He’ll botch it.
I’d much prefer a massive heart attack during one of his dumbass rallies. Kills him instantly while collapsing at the podium. His poorly fitted pants falling down as he falls face first into the ground. The sound of his death shits rattling through a mostly empty arena, and red hatted supporters behind him are sprayed by copious amounts of McDonalds and Diet Coke fueled diarrhea. He’ll probably fucking die on the toilet, but I can dream for a moment like this, can’t I?
Isn't he building a bunker under the ballroom?
The price tag suggests a Palantir data center, much like the hardened data centers they sole Israel a few years ago.
If we go by Shattered Union canon, Trump and a sizable portion of Congress will be killed by a nuclear weapon during his 3rd term inauguration, secretly masterminded by Russia.
He won't be able to do that.
He's a coward, he won't do it.
F's to the guy who will eventually end up killing Trump.
Every day the whitehouse pharmacists roll the dice with him dying on their watch and ending up the scapegoat.
He’s an obese 80 year old
This assumes he doesn't die in office. How many Wiccans and cardiologists are preying for a blood clot?
He'll never pay for his crimes because he's rich and white. There's only one way that people like that get punished...and I'm not allowed to say what that is...because Americans are pussies. I'm an American, so fuck you...Americans are pussies. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this situation.
Violence? You can say that. Here check it out.
I think trump should experience violence, as should all pedophiles. Punch Nazis in the face.
This isn't the bad place.
How in the fuck are there still serious people that think he will give up power willingly. He’s either going to. die in office during this term or illegally stay in office for reasons that are made up. This is a dictatorship
He hasn't stabilized his rule. The maga coalition is falling apart all on it's own
Will Trump wiggle out of real consequences? Probably. There will definitely be election fuckery.
But the maga coalition failed to grab the crown, and does not hold the keys to power. That's even more important for a dictator, because they don't have the legitimacy democracy grants leaders
Shittier rulers have lasted longer.
They really haven't.. at least not if by shitty you mean incompetent
[x] doubt
He can have a post presidential rest in peace...
Actually he can't because there will be a constant line of people pissing on his grave.
