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!

The best deal leaders could ask for is a strong social contract. They don't have to look over their shoulders we don't have to look over ours.
Also the ability to safely leave power. Jimmy Carter got to spend his retirement building houses for charity, Saddam Huissen got to spend his in hiding, Ghaddafi got to spend it being tortured awaiting execution by a mob of his citizens, and Hitler's retirement was spent absolutely ruining a bunker toilet while going through withdrawal. I'd much rather rule with limits then step away safely.
Yea, there is no way Trump steps away clean from this. If he leaves office voluntarily there will be legal attacks on him until the day he dies.
That's why Elon has access to everything about everyone. So any and all that would do such things can be found immediately and all access to life can be cut off by those loyal to Trump. If that doesn't work, he can send the Proud Boys or some other fascist gang to your door.
Hound him until the day he dies. Investigate EVERYTHING, leave no stone unturned, and charge him with every single count he ever violated. Then stack the sentences on top of each other. Hopefully, it's only about 18 months for each sentence, so that he has to switch prisons every year or two, so he can never get settled in. Unless they just want to toss him in the deepest dungeon in the new 30,000 bed facility he's building in Guantanamo right now. Let him be housed in his own prison.
This is the way.
