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!

There have been more than 400 lawsuits brought against the Trump administration this year.

Dozens of judges, appointed by both Democratic and

Republican presidents ...

... have ruled against the administration. And they have often used tough, blunt language.

The amount of absolutely nothing will happen here is at 101%

Americans have given a dozen people and a fascist religious theocratic party the power to do whatever they want without repercussion.

The key people from the Trump administration and their key supporters need to be jailed for their complete disregard of the constitution and laws. If you can't stop them your justice system is broken. Any regular citizen doing a tiny percentage of what these criminals do would already be jailed for life. Enforce the laws and the constitution. Put those criminals where they belong.

They need to be. They won't. But they need to be. The fact that he is basically immune from prosecution as president. Thanks Supreme court. Basically makes it inevitable that a coup is building. There is no way he will risk losing. To be held accountable for his actions. He is Americans need to arm and prepare ourselves. Shit is only starting to go sideways. It's going to get so much worse. Extremely fast. We're already seeing it.

This is a big reason I still have optimism. In four years if we restore law and order, and get past MAGats yelling that it’s personal, all those groupies and hangers on can face justice for defrauding the country, flouting bribery laws, violating human rights, defying the constitution …… and turnip in chief won’t be there to pardon them.

I hope to see them all in jail. I hope to se his contemptuous children start a new dynasty in jail.

OK so is there any way to vote it out now and not until it naturally runs out of time in this realm? Turds can take a long time to decay.

Okay, and now? Laws and ruling does not mean shit if you don't (can't) enforce it

Doesn't matter if there are no consequences.
