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!

They posted two articles in a row about the same podcast a couple of days ago. I don't think it should be allowed, but the mods don't seem to agree.

Hey, let him spend his Rubles however he likes. Or is it Renminbi?

Hard to tell these days.

Thoroughly ignorant idea.

Trump's argument all along has been "I did nothing wrong, this is a partisan witch hunt led by the Biden administration."

You want to feed that idea and give it life? Take the #2 person in the Biden administration and let them prosecute the case.

I keep being told he's very important. By people who post things about him on Lemmy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


One of Trump's cases is his election interference case in Washington, D.C. Special Counsel Jack Smith has led the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation, accusing Trump of attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election that led to the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.

Trump is facing dozens of felony charges from the DOJ, which has also accused him of unlawfully retaining classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after leaving the White House in 2021 and repeatedly obstructing government efforts to retrieve them.

This is not the first time Harris' previous work as a prosecutor has been brought up in connection with a legal issue pertaining to Trump.

In 2019 during an interview with MSNBC News, Harris repeated her call to impeach then-President Trump as she alluded to her previous work as a prosecutor.

"I do support proceeding with a process toward impeachment because, listen, I've seen people go to prison for far less than the evidence we have right now in terms of this president," she said at the time.

Biden won 96.2 percent of the vote in the South Carolina Democratic primary earlier this month after winning New Hampshire in January as a write-in candidate.


The original article contains 713 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
