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!

Laws don’t apply to the wealthy.
As someone who usually hates shallow, easy, nihilistic answers...
Hah! With this Justice Department?
We have never lived in an age when shallow, easy, nihilistic answers were this appropriate.
Because the DOJ who would charge them is being run by the same criminal mob.
They'd probably be charging themselves
Serious question. Why does this lawsuit matter anyway? There are no criminal charges here, and it doesn't look like there's a risk of actual consequences. Let's say this judge rules that Trump officials violated federal law.
Ok. Great. Now what? Are there even consequences for breaking this law? If so, what are they, why aren't these officials being charged, and how are these penalties going to be enforced? If not, this is political theater and a waste of everybody's time.
I should think the American public should be much more FURIOUS with what is happening with their country right now. If rules don’t apply, then why the fuck are we paying taxes, showing up to work, doing literally anything? Clearly this isn’t the case, so how bad does it have to get before the heat gets to these politicians who we the people voted to elect… why is there such a delay? It’s getting worse every day like a bad zit.
That's the beauty of it all! Congress has to do something!
This is the judge that caused John Roberts to issue an extraordinary warning against impeaching judges, which Republicans have decided to not just ignore, but to challenge.
It's not a good idea to piss off the Chief Justice of the SCOTUS that will be reviewing MANY of the MAGA overreaches, and he has already shown a willingness to defy them, but I encourage them to keep poking the bear.
