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!

Today I was absolutely shocked to learn that Sean Hannity and Mark Levin are great legal experts.
Pro tip: if you don't want to be tried by a jury from a mostly-Democratic area, don't commit crimes in New York City.
This dude lived most of his life on Manhattan. He has multiple properties there. Those people know him best and are the best judges of guilt in his trial.
NYC has all the judges. Good judges. Great judges. The best judges in the world, I tell ya. Not like those judges from a shit hole county. And I have great attorneys. The best. They could be better, but the best attorneys that do as I tell em.
Make attorneys great again!
MAGA = Making Attorneys Get Attorneys
Pro pro-trip. If you have something to hide don't run as president. If he just remained a private citizen this wouldn't be happening to him right now
There was a theory that he was intentionally TRYING to lose the election, that the whole thing was a publicity stunt for his (canceled due to him becoming President) then not-quite-upcoming "Trump TV" venture (Which was basically Fox News starring Trump)
He looks genuinely surprised and upset that he won in the pics showing his reaction, and so did Ivanka.
I can totally buy that his plan was to win the primary, lose the general, and sell not him as a president, but the fantasy of the White Utopia he'd create if he was President... and the conspiracy theories that Hilary won by cheating...
But then he fucked up when the plan went horribly right and he became the President for realsies.
Anyone can be a great legal expert if you're stupid enough.
