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 love the fact that Trump has been found in contempt of court for violating a gag order and making threats to participants in the trial ten fucking times, and the most he received is a stern look from mommy as she says "Don't make me count to three.....", knowing full well he'll never go past 2 and a half.
And they're even talking about putting him in jail for a few minutes or a few hours at a time and hoping he "learns". The man is threatening violence against people and the most this court system seems to be willing to give him isn't a "time-out". The most they're willing to do is the threat of a time out.
Seriously. Ten fucking times and they're talking about maybe possibly throwing him in jail for a few minutes. If anyone needs proof of our two-tier justice system, here you go. I can go on youtube right now and find literally thousands of court videos showing people being held in contempt of court and serving days in jail for wearing inappropriate clothing, grunting at the wrong time, and not saying "your honor". But this man literally stands right in front of the courthouse and violates the gag order on the daily, and the most he's gonna get is a glorified tour of a holding cell if he violated the order eleventy billion more times.
Even if he is found guilty, do you think this sack of putty is going to be willing to throw Trump in jail? Because I've seen no evidence yet that this judge, or any other one, has the stones to do it.
