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!

No shit, we should have prosecuted and jailed him the second that shit happened. Instead, we spent the entire time debating whether a president can be prosecuted, and then concluded, nah bro, presidents can't be prosecuted, lol.
and then Biden proved how weak he is by not immediately using that free pass to solve the problem.
They let Hitler go free too (though he did do jail time). That turned out well.
the road to fascism is paved by the judiciary
If you all haven't already, I'd like to suggest that you create a PAC for running for president. This is your license to commit federal crimes without any consequences.
State crimes TBD in a few weeks.
You have to be a Republican, though.
Easy enough to chuck a couple of bucks toward the GOP. For the sake of committing major crimes against the federal government, might be worth it.
Yes, anyone who would need to do this is already the type of criminal the GOP loves, so it's win-win!
i don't know whats worse: that this happened, or that i don't know a single person irl who isn't just pretending like nothing happened and everything is going to be fine--even staunchly liberal antitrumpers
What are you expecting them to be doing instead? What are you doing differently than them?
organize, prepare, contingency planning-- but it's tough for one person acting alone because everyone just doesn't want to think about unpleasant things. so they don't.
This is the key question...
The "don't look up" phase
