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!

It's a good news, bad news situation.
Good news. Trump completely loses his mind, is so stark raving bonkers that he is found unable to stand trial due to mental incompetence.
Bad news. GOP runs him anyway because he hasn't been convicted of anything
There is no trial. The trial already happened, and he was found to have committed massive fraud. Perhaps the most beautiful perfect fraud people have ever seen. Many are talking about it.
Anyhow fuck him and the horse he rode in on.
He has plenty of other trials going on, including the one in Georgia and the Federal one.
Best news: I was afraid the GOP would bail him out and he'd suffer no personal consequences... it looks like the conservative billionaires told him to get fucked.
The funniest thing about Trump is that he was always desperate to be part of the Manhattan elite. He was once given a golden opportunity to get in good with them, and he blew it through his own stupidity, greed, and arrogance.

There's a guest appearance by John Barron.
I don't know if he actually did, but I always get a kick out of the idea that he dug out that old alias he had to burn in order to name another kid after himself since Don Jr was already taken. Wouldn't surprise me if someone did some digging and found someone named Eric that was mysteriously defending him at some point as an unsurfaced alias
I remember a picture of Barron and the family when the boy was about five. They in Trump's gold plated penthouse and the child is in a business suit, sitting in a tiny limo. No jet planes or spaceships for Barron!
