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!

And no one is going to do a damn thing about this because the US is not a nation of laws anymore.

He's not in prison for treason and espionage - it's doubtful he's going anywhere no matter how heinous a crime he commits.

He's..a..fucking..criminal. A criminal is in charge of the law. AND the national piggy bank, but that for another time.

How many of you have criminals as friends? None. You know why? Because they'll lie and steal from you just as fast as anyone else - that's why. And that's trumpski - a lying criminal con man. AND a traitor to the country that gave him everything he's got.

I know you're making a political point, but tbh, I thought Lemmy would have a better take on criminal justice

So sick of “may have” headline.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Trump loves to sue. May as well make it harder for him.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

As long as the Department of Justice continues to work exclusively at the behest of Trump, you should expect no actual justice. 86 Pam Bondi, 86 Trump. 86 the Republican party for abdicating their oaths.

What are you going to do, arrest me?

:(

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Lol they gonna put him in prison?

We all know what makes this stop.

Somebody has to do it eventually.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lmao… let’s start counting the laws he hasn’t broken. I’m so done with trying to care about each instance of him breaking the law. He’s unfit for office, has been impeached twice, and he deserves only jail for as long as his miserable heart will last.

I do appreciate the media at least saying it. It needs to be widely said and acknowledged. Too often the media just ignores it and instead covers Joe Biden age.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Oh, no shit?

So can we expect more finger wagging, indignant tweets and furrowed brows? Maybe a SLAM or two? No? Then suck it up, america!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Laws are for POOR People!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Dude violates federal law every day

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Wake me up when something happens as a result of this.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Ohhh no! What the USA justice will do about this? Nothing.
Again, ping me if something happens.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Oh no! What might become of this?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

So he broke a law. And what’s anyone in the US going to do about it??

Crickets.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

may have

It was pretty fucking blatant, actually.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Let me know when he follows the law.

In other news, attorney wastes time watching and commenting on video of crypto event.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Who gives a fuck? There are no consequences so he may as well be a dictator

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Official act or something.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Inappropriate use of the presidential seal? Oh, he's not walking away from this one!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

This is just how our country is now.
