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!

Go on then, go on, what's the goddamned holdup?
Patience young padwan, they need to do this right and carefully, so it fucking sticks in their eye
The last time I fell for that was the Mueller report.
Show me someone slowly fighting against what is happening and I will show you someone grandstanding, on the take or an idealist out of touch with things
I fell for it again with Chutkan and then again with Merchan. People need to go to prison.
This could be another one of those, certainly. But if it's not, then it has to be done right and that will mean slower than we want it to happen. Do it rushed and wrong, it's going to get undone
The longer it takes the more opportunity Trump has to commit more heinous human rights abuses
She the shorter cuts that are taken will do the same. Do it right or don't do it at all, that means it might take a while
Maybe you’re right, or maybe this is not important at all because there are no effective checks.
I’m no legal expert, and I don’t understand many things. But it seems to me if there were effective checks, then others would have applied it already.
My unjustified opinion is that this, if real, is a last gasp by a few patriots who do not see the writing on the wall, and whose actions will largely be forgotten in the chaos to come.
I hope I’m wrong
I seem to remember hearing that for a period of four years, interspersed with "Oh they've got him now!"
Pardon me if I don't believe it will amount to anything.
This was the line for four years.
Amazing how Trump can get what he wants right away, but to get Trump under anything took us years, and didn't have him rot in jail. Weird how the "justice" system works.
That's how it goes. Turns out you can destroy things a lot faster than you can build them. And you can build things poorly faster than you can build them right
It's always easy to tear things down, it's hard to do things right
It's easy to make up excuses for shit you don't want to do.
So what are you doing bedside bitching in a community forum in a far darkened corner of the Internet where no one is who they say they are, and there’s no one around that would care if they were.
Just skip to the bit where you start screaming "genocide" because I voted for harris like you wanted me to.
That's where all our conversations end up anyway because it's what you do when you have nothing worthwhile to say.
Hmmm…. that sure sounds a lot like someone else I’ve seen around here. Can’t quite place who though.
