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!

Imagine moving from Reddit to Lemmy just to be a shit take downvote dumpster like OP.
imagine unironically posting the federalist
So...all politicians are supposed to be immune to prosecution for life. Got it.
The Republican Party doesn't have to nominate Trump. Any crisis is their doing.
Huh, usually when someone posts dumb shit like this they're purposely trolling. But you seem to just be genuinely oblivious. Good on ya buddy.
nah, he's trolling. I recognize the user from other posts.
There's nothing political about the prosecution of Trump. He committed crimes in broad daylight We all saw them. And Biden's appointed AG appointed an INDEPENDENT COUNSEL to investigate and make all the charging decisions.
Contrast this to Trump who RAN ON THE SLOGAN "lock her up!" And who non-stop threatened to jail his political opponents!
The hypocrisy here is next-level.
lol
"It's not a crime when we do it!"
/me grabs the popcorn
The federalist is a right wing propaganda website.
All federal elections are illegitimate. Voter suppression, the electoral college, America's failure to make Election Day a paid day off, extremely frail voting infrastructure, legalized and (barely) regulated corruption (lobbying) and more all worked together to get Trump one single win, but the second time around, even despite all of these things working as advantages to republicans, Trump still lost to a different geriatric rapist imperialist because on top of having wildly lowered popular appeal, he also proved to be harmful to America's status quo.
And the very same settlers who voted in that klansman-eulogizing carceral slaver imperialist creep are going to swarm this reply(cuz lmao, I'm not humoring shit from the Federalist today) with ALL the pearls to clutch like "buh buh buh don't you believe in harm reduction" trick what harm is being reduced? Hella cops still chalk-outlining my people, liberals done stymied not only the carceral abolition, but the police defunding movements. Why bother supporting them after that? Why bother doing anything to keep the country from caving in? We gon' get mortuary slabbed by the pigs anyway. Ain't shit in this country legitimate, from the elections to the laws.
Everything is broken, so let's allow the people breaking things to break even more things. Then once absolutely nothing works, surely then someone else will make things better.
Yours is a lazy argument from a do nothing slacktervist point of view.
No really, why should I want this country(that mind you, has stolen our history, our culture, our names, our religions, and any kind of generational wealth we may have been able to scrape together during the failure of Reconstruction) to perpetuate? Why shouldn't I want it to fall, when settlers have made war in this country against subjects-of-empire day in and day out, every day of my life? Why should I find common cause with you when you just can't help yourself but bad-faith slander my views second-zero of you engaging with me? That being asked, get fucking lost. Can't wait to watch the house of cards fall in.
Because when people think things couldn't get much worse, they are always proven wrong.
You keep fighting to make things better because they will always find another level below rock bottom. You don't fight for the status quo. You don't fight expecting perfection. You fight to let them know you're going to keep fighting and that you're never going away.
I feel where you're coming from, have you read very much black panthers literature? Angela Davis/Kwame Ture/Fred Hampton really took my hatred of white supremacy and crystalized it into meaningful direction and understanding

solidarity, comrade ✊
Ture and Hampton, yes; but I never did get my hands on much Davis. Most of what I've learned over what history we still have is that a subject of empire is given two potential outcomes, either death at the hands of the state, or metastasis into misleadership tbh.
