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!

It's a Saturday :(
Make it happen anyway, just so Trump and his lawyers have to deal with unpleasant shit on a Saturday.
I would do jury duty on a Saturday for that trial.
He faces a separate criminal trial in Manhattan in March 2024, and another criminal trial from Smith in southern Florida in May 2024.
What happens if the trials overlap?
They work it out. For example, the Manhattan DA recently stated that he’d be fine with delaying his case so the Fed cases can go ahead
Good bot.
Man, I feel like this one could pass a Turing test…
There is a bot flare to your username. Are you really a robot replying to someone ?
Probably checked “bot” in profile settings
"Work it out" is a strange way to say it's a dick measuring contest. /s
But yeah, the Feds will almost always win unless they want a different conviction to help make their case.
Sounds like a Trump problem, not an our problem.
It's like Mr. Burns having every disease so that they cancel each other out. He's committed so many crimes the entire Justice system is too backed up to cope.
We've had one, yes. What about second Justice Department?
Hehe.
“No we’re not going to let you go to that. Flight risk.”
“Yes we’re absolutely going to file a warrant and keep your bail… don’t worry, we’ll donate it to little kids or something.”
What happens if the trials overlap?
it’s extra entertaining?
I was curious and checked: unfortunately, January 6th, 2024, is a Saturday. :(
His place is in a prison!
January 2nd, you say? Ooh, happy birthday to me!
