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!

I wish that was true, but I mean, come on...
Does anyone honestly believe that?
I mean, it's great trump is guilty is here, but this is an incredibly tone deaf comment considering the SC is literally saying they're above the law right now...
Bannon still isn't in jail, Rudy isn't in jail, trumps major case is being heard by a judge he appointed that literally doesn't understand the basics of her job...
None of the people who funded this will ever even see charges...
Like, sentencing guidelines for this is probation. It's a win, but it's mostly performative, we're nowhere close to being done.
That's the thing about progress, we can't stop fighting for more, especially when the other said is full on fascists. There's no breaks to celebrate, the fascists never stop.
Look man, I'm as cynical as it gets but this is good news and a step in the right direction.
Personally the hush money stuff to me is the least consequential but it opens the doors hopefully to nail the fucker on his other crimes.
Al Capone didn't go to prison for operating a racket or any of the numerous murders he committed or was involved with. He went to prison for tax evasion. This might be the closest we get to him ever being held accountable and I'll take it. Hopefully the court understands this and gives him the maximum sentence knowing the context of his actions.
It's a bit disappointing, but that's just how things work.
Also, given that Trump has been comparing himself to Al Capone recently in his speeches, this is quite hilarious outcome.
