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.

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!"

The interesting thing is that Ukraine (which does have corruption problem) has such independent institution to flight corruption. The institution was created because of demand of Western countries, including UD. It is crazy that US doesn't have something similar as it definitively needs it.
I'm also certain that the Epstein files are (among other things) right in the center of the corruption.

No one is getting paid from this.
The Trumps will. They'll all sue each other, win billions, and the taxpayers will pay the bill.

Worse than that, they'll use the law to go after the Bidens for baseless claims of corruption instead of the trumps
will it apply to in-laws? i want to sue the Kushners into generational poverty
'Hey Mr.President sir, Can you sign this law that would let me sue you? Thanks.'
Good luck with that one. I like the thought, but yeah, not gonna happen. At least making them say no is a statement I guess.
Yeah. If they had the cotes to override a veto on this, they'd also be able to remove him from office.
Yeah if it passes I'll upload a video of me sucking my own dick.
So tired of the games man. "Look, LOOK something might change
Oh, except its democrats that did it so it will never be passed with a majority republican government.
Sorry about that.
Headline next week " Senate Democrats issue a bill that would end child hunger, introduce a cap on credit card interest, cut student loans to manageable levels AND give free healthcare to every citizen!!"
Yeah I sure bet they fucking did because they know that shit will never, ever pass.
It is tiring. It is 100% mental masturbation. Its a waste of time for all involved.
Had they wanted this to be different they could have had the shitty court system actually hold him accountable for the 4 years they were running the show.
Know why they didn't do that? Because suits stick with their own.
But that's alright they will introduce the Hold Accountability for Trump act in a couple of months that they know won't pass either.
Is… is that something you can do?
Hell no. I see how much the dog enjoys it if I could I probably wouldn't even leave the house! Lol
Yeah if it passes I'll upload a video of me sucking my own dick.
I agree everything you said. But on the off chance that Willy Wonka makes some actual chocolate… do we do proof or bans on these kinds of things?
Also, chuck schumer in a body suit was not a mental image I needed.
I suppose I should say I'll upload a video of me attempting to suck my own dick lol not a chance in hell I'd actually be able to do it
Anything but actually using the 2nd amendment that countless children apparently die for.
I think you're confusing things a bit, the proponents of gun control are the ones who put this forward. The people in favor of child murder are the ones who would be most targeted by this, because they seem to also love corruption.
Or are you advocating for gun use, because a fuckload of children will die when that kicks off, so it's best to delay. Also, Trump is losing support by the day here. He's wildly unpopular and openly declining.
Right now the optics are on our side, so when ICE rolls into town, you go protest, stand in front of your neighbors, but keep it non-violent. At least from your end, ICE will be violent sociopaths, but fuck, I can take it. Or if I can't, it was a good run.
No, I firmly believe that now is not the time for violence. We will all know when it's time.
We will all know when it's time.
Rest of the comment aside I think from history we find this is generally explicitly untrue. We have already passed many things that people would have thought completely unthinkable, I think it is dangerous to assume it will just be obvious. We all have lives and unless we are individually targeted they will just go on- getting worse little by little, every passing day, and you will get used to it
Regardless of where you draw your line, people will not all just innately know, people must draw their line consciously and decide when it has been crossed over
No, you will know when it's time because there will be some spark, some incident that pushes normies to the brink. It will be quiet at first, and then it will just keep blowing up to the point where it's all anyone will talk about, and then, it will be time for violence. Everyone will sort of agree on violence at the same time, but the who and how will be different. It will be a chaotic mess of mass murder and retaliatory mass murder. Because that's what it looks like when it's time for violence.
There are no winners when it's time for violence. Which is why it's not time yet. But trust me, we will know when it is.
Maybe? You might think a global pedophile conspiracy with connections to top government officials around the world would set it off. Or the fact that people implicated in that global pedophile conspiracy keep conveniently dying. Or the fact that one of the central players in said conspiracy is now the president of the US, and has surrounded himself with government paid lawyers and politicians, in a so-far-successful bid to insulate himself and other billionaires from legal trouble associated with raping children.
But maybe there will be another spark who knows?
Together, we must all draw a line, and say this far and no further whether it effects me or not. Unfortunately my line is far crossed.
"Keep it nonviolent" while they use you for target practice.
Fuck man. We all know the only way this actually changes and it sure as shit isn't with all of us holding hands and talking about how what they are doing makes us feel inside.
I'm not confused. Shoot the tyrants. The time for violence was when corporations and politicians agreed bribery was legal. And before that when the housing market was turned into a circle jerk, and before that when the cops decided because of the Rodney King riots they needed military gear, and before that when Reagan rat fucked the world by making the petrodollar, and before that when companies thought they could pay people in funny money. Violence is the tool of the masses when their leaders think themselves above all else. You haven't been taught that because its the only thing keeping capitalism running.
If you're so gung ho for violence, then go do it.
But that's counter productive right now.
Fuck for all I know, you're an agent provocateur with that shit.
Do you honestly believe that the tyrants will die easy? or that the military and police will stand aside before the actual tipping point is reached?
No, all you're doing is telling people to go commit suicide by cop, so that the cops will have another excuse to crack down on left wing groups.
If you think this is some sort of gotcha, its not. When people can't eat cause of Trump's policies it will happen on its own.
That's the tipping point, when the police and military stand aside.
MAGA will not, but every successful revolution has the police and military mostly stand aside or join in.
Until that happens, likely after the election, you should either bunker down or preferably get out and peacefully protest.
I'm just a Bill, sitting on Capitol Hill ♫♫
Foxxy Love vs. The Board of Education......
Delusional headline, no way is that happening
E. Jean Carroll WON and she still hasn't seen a dime.
Not true, she received $5.8 million and it's driving the child rapist nuts. She is still owed tens of million from the 2nd judgement.
She literally got the first payment less than a month ago.
How long did it take?
Gonna keep moving those goalposts?
Until the final appeal was denied. Which is actually pretty standard in these cases. The fact that Trump was able to drag out the appeals as long as he did is a massive problem.
You said she's never been paid. It's okay to concede you were wrong, and then state the fact that it took so long is a travesty. Just doubling down on a different argument entirely is moving the goal posts.
Sir, this is a lemmys.
~~She didn’t get paid~~
~~but how long did it take?~~
Yeah but they made faces at her, so
I can't WAIT until Democrats take MAJORITY Control and ~~PASS this Legislation!~~ KILL this Legislation since it's NOT good Enough!
The Democrats should reach across the isle, after all the pedophile protectors are sure to reciprocate when they're in power.
Lol you won't even get a reach-around from a Republican, let alone a reach-across.
Yea yea sure.
All talk and.... NOTHING!
Are we talking about Democrats or people bitching online?
Both. I usually vote Democrat, but they talk a lot with no bite.
Yay more performative bullshit!! :D
Trump will definitely sign that once it passes both chambers!
