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!

This may come across as a wild idea, but I’d settle for not prosecuting him if he never participates in politics again. Like not even a political tweet.
Nope. Bury him under Leavenworth.
He attempted to end our country.
He stole documents that probably got a ton of assets killed in enemy countries.
He stole documents that had highlighted our capabilities and readiness, as well as our allies.
Bury him under Leavenworth after he dies making little rocks out of big rocks.
brick him up! Brick him up!!
Hard disagree... ADX Florence is a better fit.
Ok. Imma gonna make a compromise. He can go there, we ship him rocks to break from Leavenworth, and when he dies, he gets buried under Leavenworth.
I’m with you. I just think the expedient solution may be more definitive.
Your expedient solution is not effective. It relies entirely on a liar keeping their word.
How many promises has trump broken? I’ve lost count. All your “solution” would do is give him time to retconn his image and try again. No. We need to drop the full weight of justice on his orange pasty ass
You know, Hitler went to jail after the Bierhallputsch and got released under an accommodationst release like the one you're advocating...
As long as you're clear with everybody about what you want...
Letting Nixon quit rather than be empeached and imprisoned is why so many republicans, rightfully, think they're completely above the law.
Oh hell no.
Would you let a murderer off if they promised to never kill again?
This is not a smart idea, his Qult will just treat that as "big government" censoring their Messiah, and he would never stick to it, he's far too narcissistic for that.
Also he's 77, in poor health, there's so many people who were involved in the election theft attempt and January 6 who are much younger and need to be prosecuted as they are lingering threats to our democracy.
Everything you said makes no sense at all. None of it is any reason this shouldn’t happen.
You're getting downvoted, but you're right. It's a dangerous precedent to imprison former presidents. There's plenty of reason to imprison Trump but Republicans will seek revenge for the next 40 years.
It's a dangerous precident to ensure public officials can't commit crimes with impunity?
Is that what I said? Hint, no it's not.
They should charge him and try him. I honestly hope DOJ settles with him for an agreement to never hold public office again. While I'd love to see him rot in prison, I worry about what that'll unleash in this country.
Dude can't even STFU after a judge told him to already. It's pure wishful thinking on your part that any agreement made would be held to.
