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!

People really need to tamper their expectations. I dunno what universe you live in, but I live in the one where a rich ex president gets away with his crimes and never sets foot in jail, because sadly that's the reality. It would never be allowed to happen.
I agree... But 4 months ago, no former president has ever been indicted. Now Trump has been so 3x, with a fourth on the way in GA. the walls do seem to be closing
Also it's temper not tamper
no now is when we howl for blood.. anybody with a backbone knows that.. what you just described is the way things work in Russia.. where everyone is a coward..
No one thought we’d ever see an insurrection like Jan 6. and no one ever thought an ex POTUS would ever be indicted. Yet, here we are. He’s going to be convicted and he’s going to prison.
That's just unacceptable though. And people who keep saying this are only giving more credit to this idea. They keep saying the law applies to everyone so we are going to find out for sure if that's true. He can be stripped of that secret service perk. You don't get the perks of being a president if you are a criminal. Why would you? Let him fight it from his cell if he wants
