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!

There's a theory that they're working towards that. Convict the small fish while gathering evidence and establishing the truth. Maybe even get some to turn and inform. You don't shoot at the king and miss.
3.5 years just to indict the small fries, let alone convict before going after the big fish. Trump is going to be dead before consequences from Arizona land on him.
Well yes, but also Arizona's current attorney general was only sworn in at the beginning of last year after her predecessor wasn't really interested in following up on this.
Yeah, that argument may have worked 1 or 2 years ago, but the thing is that there is a deadline for nailing him. If he gets reelected then that ship has sailed.
He won't get reelected, period.
Do people forget that he fucking lost the election while being a sitting president?
While I sure hope you are right, I fear that he just might get reelected (by the EC, anyway).
It took awhile to get Copone and that was just on taxes. These sorts of cases take awhile to build up even when they are going fast. luckily they tend to be exponential after awhile so we may see some speed up eventually.
Seems like a problem when you can't prosecute people for trying to steal an election within an election cycle. It seems absolutely batshit to me that they're going to be allowed to participate in a democracy that they tried to overthrow. It's one thing telling people to get out there and vote against them, but these treasonous fuckers cheated last time and they're going to do it again.
Roger Stone?
The whole GOP should be charged with conspiracy and treason
It’s been so damn long, I was starting to wonder if what they did wasn’t technically a crime, for some weird reason you’d have to be a legal expert to understand.
The technicality is the large cult following, shitloads of money, and regulatory capture.
This is still unacceptable. How fucking long are we letting these traitors roam free?
Building a solid case takes time. You don't want them to win. You don't want them to go free on appeal. You want it done right. NAL, just relaying context someone else pointed out to me when I had the same complaint.
You know what happens when you attack every other head than the immortal one on a Hydra? They grow back.
All charges that have been filed include felony counts of fraud, forgery, and conspiracy.
Fake Patriots.
Specifying the party of the attorney general is irrelevant to serving justice. The piece is written solely for more clicks from conservative outrage over the "liberal conspiracy". Bad NBC, bad!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The state Republican Party documented the signing of the certificate in a social media post and sent it to Congress and the National Archives.
Send the elector choice back to the legislatures.” Ward was a consistent propagator of false claims that Arizona’s election results were rigged.
Others charged include: state legislators Anthony Kern and Jake Hoffman; Michael Ward, Kelli Ward’s husband; Tyler Bowyer, the RNC’s Arizona committeeman and the chief operating officer of the Trump-aligned Turning Point USA; Greg Safsten, the former Arizona GOP executive director; former U.S. Senate candidate Jim Lamon; Robert Montgomery, the former head of the Cochise County GOP; and Republican Party activists Samuel Moorhead, Nancy Cottle and Loraine Pellegrino.
The Arizona charges are the latest example of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election sprouting into legal cases during his 2024 bid to retake office.
Attorney Kenneth Chesebro, one of the planners of the alleged scheme, pled guilty last year in Georgia on conspiracy charges brought against him, Trump and 17 others in the state.
He is also believed to be one of the unidentified co-conspirators described by Special Counsel Jack Smith in his federal election interference indictment of Trump last year.
The original article contains 701 words, the summary contains 196 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
down for some more justice!
The fuck is that and where is it so I can stay the fuck away from it. Its in the western Appalachians isnt it?
It’s Jimmy Carter’s nut face
Thank you, this is great!
I'm sure these fake electors and their whining apologists will whine about how it's all so unfair. They should be glad they are not in front of a firing squad for what they tried to do.
Fuckem.
If this had been done 2 years ago, it wouldn't be the mess it is now. Why the fuck did it take this long to get after it?
When Giuliani was Mayor, he boasted of having homeless beggars arrested. I am happy that he's getting a taste of his own medicine
Too bad Trump is an "unindicted co-conspirator"
