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'm a very innocent man." - Weird Old Felon Convicted of 34 Counts for Election Interference
I mean, the entire world watched live on news as the FBI dragged out classified documents.
The fact that he had them as an EX-president who had no further need to know, in a place where they're not securely stored, and probably selling them to the Saudis or Putin or whoever was the highest bidder...
He's guilty as fuck and, if he were anyone else would have already been convicted and sentenced of that.
And because he installed a judge in the district that charges would be filed, he's getting off scott fucking free. Because she's postponing it forever.
IMO, these charges should have been filed in DC.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but those documents were stolen in DC, not Florida. Sure there could be “both”, but seriously.
I believe the idea was that if he was convicted in Florida by a Republican biased jury, there would be fewer claims of it being rigged or whatever. Seems stupid in hindsight since Cannon ended up being assigned the case.
I'm really curious about this. We know Trump changed his residency from NY to FL and I wonder if that had anything to do with this. To my knowledge Cannon was an unfortunate product of randomized selection.
Randomized, but with a certain amount of derandomization by senators blocking additional vacancies in the district.
I love how it's "randomized" yet if I recall correctly this wasn't the only case she was on for him and pulled the same bullshit...
So part of it was that he’s being charged with improper storage, rather than actually taking them.
And he was storing them in Florida.
As bad as Cannon has been, I don’t know that any of the other justices are any better. Mostly, they’ve let her slide on a lot of shit.
