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!

More stochastic terrorism from Trump. Why can't we just throw this asshole in an oubliette already?
Oooh, new word. Nice.
Oubliette: a dungeon with the only entrance or exit being a trap door on the ceiling.
I believe the literal translation is "forgetting hole".
Mf would never reach it
The ass probably can't reach his shoelaces
That's the whole point.
Somebody has never seen Labyrinth!
I've seen some real ones in Ireland. It's literally a door, with something like an elevator shaft behind it. That's all. Pretty terrifying idea for a 16 year old.
They meant the movie Labyrinth.
I know. I was just adding extra info.
Because he has lots of money, and this results in people like him to be treated much differently (i.e. better) by the law than you or me. If this were any of us in this situation, our lives would be upended, our pets shot, and in prison with all our money gone.
Does he really? Or is it all a show of false glitz and glamour to try to impress people who he thinks are also impressed by shiny gold things?
Or is it because he's still a useful idiot helping to enrich the right people. Keeping him out of jail ensures the grift continues, until convenient to throw him in jail. And then they'll be harping that they need to be elected to help free Trump from jail (which they likely won't bother anyway).
