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 think it's more that they see the writing on the wall... The people want consequences. There's likely to be trials
I don't think we will see a single one in a courtroom. We don't arrest the rich and powerful.
Who said anything about court rooms? A lot of these pissants would be prime meat for a lynch mob, especially if the economy implodes like it's looking like it will.
They can quit, but they still caused it. They are still on a list.
Nah, not unless the Democratic party finds its balls. Mark my works, Trump will kick the bucket long before they decide he's guilty of something and one or two fall boys will get showy trials but then it will be 'a time for healing' or some bullshit about unity.
You can't live unless you carve out the cancer and right now I don't see any incentives that would make them do that.
It'll be 8 years of Democrats (if there isn't major election interference) and you'll be back where you were with a Trump stooge if he's still around or maybe one of his kids. FPTP pretty much guarantees it.
Trump would not be able to cause as much harm without all the evil self-servicing minions to carry out his whims. Trump may be old, Trump may have had a rubber stamp Supreme Court say he has complete immunity, but his minions haven’t. Consider the silver lining when he passes that all those minions are subject to the law without his blanket pardons. Thats the real opportunity
The US has a long history of not cutting out the cancer.
