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!

I'm sure there is a McDonald's nearby secret service can fetch his meals from.
Water would suffice for a few months given he's obese. Probably do him a world of good too.
Y would any sane person want to make him healthier? He's got 3 years tops. I'm surprised he's lived this long from what I've heard about his diet and lack of exercise.
Doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, has a good doctor.
Not that surprising.
Speak for yourself!
Not only would I be ecstatic about that for all the obvious reasons, as an Atlanta resident I'd also appreciate more of a spotlight being put on what a shithole the Fulton County jail is, to help shame the county commission into fixing it.
He’s not the president.
No they don't...
That article (and your summary) clears a lot of things up. Thank you good sir!
That would be quite the look for the US.
In fact, it’s already quite the look, with him being the leading candidate of his party. Madness.
Man, a sitting president in prison would be almost the perfect embodiment of American symbolism. Only thing to make it more so would be if he was in prison for shooting up an elementary school while holding a Bible and screaming "USA USA" from a mobility scooter, all while the police gave him a standing occasion from atop the back of a choked-out black man.
Man, as a veteran of that same country, this whole situation makes me wonder what it was for... I'm waiting for all of this to make sense.
Not if they actually follow the 14th amendment, this would solidify him as having been involved with a coup against the country and should bar him from holding office unless 60% of congress allows him.
