Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Well that's kind of encouraging. Keep pushing friends!

We're still going to hang everyone that helped him substantially in any way shape or form. Politically, financially, to sway opinion, or conceal his crimes.

The good news is that since the king tech douches are honorary military officers now, they can be court marshalled and tried by a military tribunal and executed, which will greatly limit their ability to try and sway public opinion, or bribe their way out of trouble.

I admire your optimism, but do you really think justice will come for the rich and corrupt? That's why the rich bought out both parties.

That's what mobs are for. And really, if you ban them from air and sea travel to or from the US, the military can hunt them down like animals. The government should sell the footage like a pay per view event.

Well, ok, if you insist.

JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon announcing that the company would not contribute to the White House’s ballroom construction, citing the potential risks of “doing anything that looks like buying favors.”

Hahahahaha

That's like a serial killer with still-bloody hands saying they won't kill that person because it would be an act of violence
