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.

HAHAHAHAHA TRUMP IS A CONVICTED FELON.
All those Republicans are gonna have to square their "law and order" worldview with voting for a CONVICTED FELON.
What a bunch of dipshits
Why? Cognitive dissonance is their bread and butter. They wouldn't be Republicans if they couldn't believe two totally mutually exclusive things at the same time
They're not smart people are they? Forgot about that.
Indeed, the idea that a party that has as its central tenets: more tax cuts for billionaires, more "free speech", er cash, to buy off politicians, zero regulations and gigantic giveaways for corporations, is "for the little guy".
I suspect that so many of them are so crazy and/or so angry is that all that cognitive dissonance which is required to hold those two contradictory ideas in their head has to drive them to distraction.
A man with 34 felonies appointed one-third of our Supreme Court. Who are the dipshits again?
The people who are going to vote for a convicted felon are still dipshits
I personally want to congratulate Donald Trump for finally winning a popular vote, but remind everybody to vote. The dipshits will.
He finally got it. Congratulations to Sleepy, Crooked, Convicted Felon Donald!
Drowsy Detained Debtor Don
LMAO that's a good one
Well, he did have some help there
That's not how republicans work. The shit they do is always about the cruelty. The "law and order" shit was only ever to cheer on enforcement on people they don't like (dark skinned people, women, non-christians, etc).
You'll drive yourself nuts trying to do things like point out hypocrisy on their 'law and order' or any of their other paper-thin dogmas because they're all made to be bullshit in the first place.
The cruelty is the point. Once you start considering their actions through that lens, they become much more consistent and predictable.
they're wriggling little worms they just add it to the lomg list of "yeah he's a ___, but he's a good one"
-rapist
-criminal
-moron
-traitor
-grifter
-politician
It'll either be "It was a set-up by his political enemies" or "I don't care, he hates the people I hate".
“This is bad for Joe Biden”
They did square it.This is a witch hunt, fixed trial, he didn't even know what the ReAl charges were. They have it all squared away and are tripling down on voting for him. You know it's Bidens DoJ, I went to r/republican and the 3 top posts are full of this and more... sad
He was convicted by 12 New York jurors, some of which were approved by his own defence.
The DoJ is a federal organisation, they don't prosecute state crimes.
I'm not American. How can it be that these Trump supporters are so ignorant of how their own country works?
They voted for Donald, they are ignorant about how everything works.
I have no idea, I am concerned for them and us just to the north
Tell me you don't understand how right-wingers work without telling me you don't understand how right-wingers work.
