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 prefer that he gets locked in syndrome for a few years. A taste of hell before he goes to the real one.
Personally, I'm hoping we can strip the family of enough wealth that they're all left destitute. Anything less will just encourage copy-cats.
Copy cats? Trump is the copy cat. The original was born in 1889 in Austria.

I'd happily settle for a massive stroke with aphasia and a droopy face.
How would we know?
Like what happened to that dude from Metallica's "One"

Saying this on Reddit would literally get you a ban. Wild. I love Lemmy.
Shortly before I left completely, I had gotten a permaban for saying "I concur" on a post of a woman in a shirt that said "punching Nazis is not a crime." Neither the post itself nor its poster were removed or banned. I appealed like 20 times before it was reversed but it made the decision to leave altogether so much easier seeing first hand ADMINS, not just moderators, defending Nazis.
Reddit admins love Nazis. Spez is a far-right psycho prepper.
I’ve seen comments removed for saying this here on lemmy. I think it depends on the context and the mod.

I mean, duh.
He should have dropped out when he was found to have raped someone.
Hell, he should have dropped out when the "grab them by the pussy" tape came out. How did that work out?
Go vote for Biden if you can, is my point here.
Walking into dressing rooms because they "just let you"
... of children.

Yes, but he’s not going to.
This article is a waste of electrons.
alternative title: career criminal should have integrity
Believe me👐, the best campaign managers have told me, everybody's saying it👆, they're, saying, "Donald, drop out of the race". 🖐That would be an absolutely beautiful election move. 🤚Just terrific. 👋It's true! ✊️Nobody could drop out of a race better than I could☝️
Not bad Trumpspeak, but you’ve got one glaring error in there. Any time he quotes someone, that totally-not-made-up person calls him “sir.” Nobody would dare refer to the god-king by his first name!

He's now barred from owning a gun, but people want to give him the nuclear football? 🤔
No, they are depending on him just passing it along to Putin.
Barred from owning a gun ? Because he was convicted ?
We’d like that. Something tells me that both people who read Washington Monthly aren’t going to inform his followers.
He won't. His goal at that point is to avoid the consequences of his actions and abusing presidential powers is the best chance he has for that.
If you think that the last election was a mess, wait to see the next one. Trump has nothing to lose anymore and will reach new lows in hopes to save his own selfish ass. He has demonstrated again and again already that he lacks the moral capacity to do otherwise.
I'm waiting for the whole "Our founding fathers were criminals, and we elected them to represent us, so what's wrong with me" type of argument.

LMAO. That's not going to happen. I would love it but there's a better chance of snow in August.
Downvoted not because I disagree, because this might be the most pointless set of words ever written.
Anyone remember Al Franken?
Al Frankens political career got fully William Wallaced in public view for nothing while Donny Two Scoops raised millions after becoming a convicted felon.
I hate this country most of the time these days.
Yup. And Franken stepped down for merely being accused of something.
Was he accused of anything other than a silly prank photo where he was pretending to grope a woman?
If I remember correctly, he was also accused of kissing her on her lips without her consent.
I call that, integrity.

Does anybody remember the 1980's being the "Al Franken decade"?

And money should grow off trees! And monkeys should fly!
Donald Trump has never once in his life put anyone else's needs ahead of his own greed.
He cut his own nephew off from medical care.

He can't. It's his only chance of staying out of prison.
He should have dropped out 8 years ago. He didn't then and he won't now.

Grifter gonna grift. He'll use this to his money making advantage till he is forced out.
This guy ain't gonna let go of anything and will happily drag the entire world into the fire just so he has something to sit on while he burns. You, personally, are his absolute last consideration
It would be hilarious if he does get elected from prison. All of his meetings with foreign leaders would need to be by Zoom or equivalent, and that's if he's able to get special privileges to do so. If not, he'd have to do it all in a 15 minute phone call once a week like the rest of the prisoners. And he might have to eat Nutraloaf lol.
At least the cost of running Air Force One would go down to zero.
Why would he? His followers keep throwing money at him. He got richer because of the conviction.
