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!

She's probably trying to get all the d in before prison.

I have no idea how you can still believe there’s even the slightest chance that the U.S. justice system would deliver justice.

No the blame gets tossed down then someone goes to prison. The sacrificial goat.

He is going to pardon effectively his entire administration on the way out. Nobody in this administration will serve any time.

What the Democrats should do is what Donvict did - just arrest them anyway and wait for the courts to hash it out.

Yes, that much is certain, but it’s not at all certain whether there will be a "way out" like you imagine. The reason: If this "administration" were to leave office, everyone involved would likely face prosecution, even in a system as corrupt as that of the U.S.

They won’t risk that, especially since their first coup attempt last time went unpunished. Now the orange despot has ICE, a secret police force whose budget far exceeds that of all other federal agencies combined—such as the FBI, CIA, etc. There can only be one reason for this, and that is the establishment of a true autocracy with all the constraints that come with it. I am now convinced that the sham democracy the U.S. has been for decades has come to an end.

I simply cannot understand how American citizens fail to see this, why they still cling to the idea that the U.S. is a country governed by the rule of law—it isn’t; it hasn’t been for a long time.

Edit: I'm from Germany and we have a history with that kind of thing.

And himself. Most importantly himself. He already said in his first term that he had looked into it and he can totally do that.

"You can't send me to prison... I'm pregnant and it could be Trump's or anyone else in his cabinet!"

However, eagle-eyed observers of the photographs of the event posted to X by the U.S. Embassy in Guyana noted that seated next to her was Corey Lewandowski, the on-again, off-again Trump strategist who reportedly ran much of the Department of Homeland Security for Noem and has long been rumored to be in an extramarital relationship with her, which they both deny.
