Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Which is a felony.

Well, I won’t comment on that, but I will tell you that: if I did, it’s a smart thing.

In other words, he did.

Here’s a blast from the past:

(Yes, it’s real. I’m not linking it because I don’t want to give Phony Stark the traffic.)

Thanks, @LodeMike!

It seems I can only search by username and I’m not sifting through all his posts to find it. Thanks, though!

You should be able to just swap out the domain name.

Did it work? https://xcancel.com/realDonaldTrump/status/347191326112112640?lang=en

It’s loading weird for me, maybe because I’m on mobile?

Thanks! I updated my comment.

Well, how else would Putin give him orders?

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Soooooo….. prison, right? That’s admitting that a felony was committed.

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He's already a convicted felon, and yet he remains free.

If you're referring to the Logan act, nobody has ever been convicted under it in more than two centuries, and it's probably unconstitutional. Is it bad that Trump chats with Putin? Absolutely. It is a crime? Unlikely.

Not only remains free, but is potentially going to be the president once again.

GET OUT AND VOTE!

It's not denying a felony was committed. That isn't the same thing, legally speaking.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Makes sense. Fat Gollum can't resist the call of his Precious.
