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!

One would think that with all the litigation this man has been involved in throughout his life, he'd have sense enough to STFU. Especially in a trial where he's already been found liable and is in the penalty phase.
More evidence that some form of dementia has set in, and is getting worse. Irrational anger is part of the deal.
People bag on me for saying this, but look at Trump interviews from the 80s and 90s, even the 00s. He may have been full of shit, but he could string a sentence together. You could parse meaning from his speech. Though this outburst seemed pretty straightforward, his speech over the last 2-3 years has been teetering on the edge of full-blown dementia.
I give him 2-years until he's screaming that Nazi squirrels are stealing his acorns.
He's never been punished, how could he learn
We can fix this- go get the rope.
A quick death is too good for him. Make him rot in solitary confinement until he dies alone with nobody to listen to his insanity.
But then we'd have to continue to subsidize his existence. Screw that noise, he's already leeched enough out of us.
But he'd hate every second of it. It would be the ultimate punishment for his ego and narcissism.
Then the next fascist comes along and pardons him.
He's never really had a good track record in cases that actually went to court. You can bully vendors, mistresses and customers with endless court cases, but the government has unlimited lawyers to throw at you, so that strategy doesn't work any more.
Watch the video of his election night win at Trump Tower. Everyone is partying, he puts his head in his hands. I think he knew, at least on some level, that the game got far too serious for him. As you said, "unlimited lawyers".
And speaking of, I eat insurrectionist tears for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nothing is stopping the FBI and DOJ. Every. Single. Day. Another one goes down. I'm here for it.
Good that means they'll be out of my yard and I can finally plant my acorns....
You forget that all this is playing for his base who he keeps telling that he's innocent and will ultimately be found innocent... They still think there's a chance he can win this and completely ignore the fact that the ruling has been made already against him
You're right! And I do forget that to my chagrin.
Playing to his base almost worked on 01/06. He's all in betting this election. No choice but to push in the whole pot and double down, no draw, win or lose.
