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!

You’re boos mean nothing. I’ve seen what makes you cheer!

Bad summary. That's not a criticism at all. Though the summary comes from the website, not the OP.

Also, linking to Fox News, gross.

Also, context for people who I know are not going to click on that:

The former Arkansas governor told the Florida Freedom Summit in Kissimmee, Florida, that such an outcome will make it harder for Republicans down the ticket to win their races if Trump, who is leading in the polls, wins the 2024 Republican nomination.

"There is a significant likelihood that Donald Trump will be found guilty by a jury on a felony offense next year. That may or may not happen. Before you vote in March, and it might not make any difference to you, but it will make a difference for our chances to attract independent voters in November. It will make a difference for those down-ticket races for Congress and Senate, and it will weaken the GOP for decades to come. As a party, we must support the rule of law," he said.

He's trying to rally Republican voters to make sure they don't get too complacent with Trump being a sure bet during the next election, not criticizing him.

This election is going to be an apocalyptic shit show.

I feel like the time to take the before picture is coming soon

Snowflakes.

They simply cannot accept reality. If they had not bent reality by gerrymandering and manipulating access to ballot boxes, reality would have kicked their sorry asses long ago.

Besides this, has he done anything else to really earn our respect?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well no but he significantly sucks less than all the other cowards in the Republican Party.

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

I know what you're saying.

But sucking less is not a reason to earn one's respect. Unless he's in the same league as McCain, Romney and Liz Cheney.

Boo at it only being "significant likelihood" and not "absolutely assured - in fact, he's in prison now."

But a cautious yay at the direction that the justice system is headed with Trump. (In all but the documents case with Cannon. Double Boo there.)

They should probably locked up too
