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!

He literally has to win this race to save him from prison. I don't think people understand how motivated he is...
He's not going to prison. He'll get fined. Those fines will be paid off by his friends. The remaining charges will be dropped. And then he'll go back to grifting rubes with Trumpy Bears and NFT trading cards, before going back to the political bundler circuit in time for 2026.
I hope you're wrong, but it's possible. Dude has so many very serious felony charges still pending against him. We cannot have a functioning justice system in this country if the rules don't apply to billionaires and popular politicians. I'm going to be contacting my representatives non-stop, assuming Harris wins.
He'd hardly be the first billionaire/political elite to evade the justice system.
Yeah people have lost their minds if they think we will ever get control of Musk, Zuckerberg or anyone else worth more than $50 mil. Will never happen, especially with lemmings still willingly voting for Republicans.
Trump would get a fine, if he hadn't violated the judge's orders and been held in contempt multiple times.
Trump burned through all of his rich white guy privileges with judge Merchan. Delaying the sentencing until after the election was a way to make sure that Trump gets prison time.
See, if the sentencing had been before the election, then the Supreme Court could have held an emergency session to keep him out of prison.
They will not hold an emergency session for a two time loser.
The main worry now is if Trump flees the country.
Im not worried about that, they wont let him, as a former president and current candidate, he has a secret service detail until he gives it up. Given the unique situation he is in, I dont think they would let him do that until everything is resolved.
