Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Did he have any other option? I guess he could keep his seat from prison, but that would bring so much attention to himself that he’d eventually be impeached.

He should have switched to the REPUBLICAN PARTY if he wanted to keep his Job! The Republicans who LOVE LAW AND ORDER Also Love Defending known Criminals! As long as it OWNS THE LIBS!

They do love voting for criminals. Frauds, con men, rapists, pedophiles. They seem to prefer criminal hateful scum over regular hateful scum.

Well if he doesn’t, Cory Booker, the other senator from New Jersey, has already said he’d lead the expulsion effort.

Because that’s how someone who actually believes in the rule of law would behave.

“Seems to me that there is an effort to try to force me into a statement. Anyone who knows me knows that’s the worst way to achieve a goal with me.”

Should have sent that resignation letter the minute the guilty verdict came down. Corrupt prick.

So when does the treason trial begin?

I don’t know much about this person, but I do know the media code-word “embattled” is only used when you’re circling the drain.
