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!

And only a 4 month sentence. Had he not spent years fighting it, he could have served that time years ago and be out already months ago.

Or he could have avoided the whole thing by complying with the congressional subpoena. 🤷‍♂️

These people are something else.

If he told the truth under oath, he would never get out of prison.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Probably accurate.

4mo? Why did they bother wasting the gas to drive him to a prison he could do 4mo in county. Practically a fucking vacation.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

It's federal. If it had been state charges he would have sat in county.

There is a reason Trump imploded after he went to jail.

He might've been trying to delay it in hopes that tangerine got back in the WH and pardoned him

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

again. Pardon him again.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I ask that he never leave prison.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

Made me think of that one scene from Idiocracy.

Not Sure: "Im supposed to be getting out of prision..."

Guard: "Your in the wrong line stupid."

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Seconded.

That's how this works right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Who knows. Let's try it.

Motion has been moved and seconded. All those in favor say "Aye."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Only if it is immediate will I agree.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago

Guess the toilet wine must not be getting the job done. I hope he has an awful time.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

I ask for immediate salary increase, put that into news

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Ah, let me see. Hell no!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hope you get to meet Epstein while there...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think ouija boards are prohibited in most prisons

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure they meant meet in person and not over the phone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Any way his stay can be extended instead?
