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!

I am not going to watch any of that.
When he was on the NPR news cycle five times a day I started yelling and cursing uncontrollable to the point where I was diving at the radio to turn it off or change the station so that I would not freak the fuck out.
It doesn't matter where Trump is. I don't want to be there. It is a defilement to view him.
Practice stoicism my friend. Ppl on the left freaking out is exactly what they want. Treat trump and the gop the same way you treat clowns...laugh at them.
It's the thing they fear the most...loss of narrative.
Best I can do is exude the overwhelming smugness of a 17th century Scottish trader who just gonvinced some Englishmen to buy goods for way over market price.
Eh .little wins
Clowns like gacy maybe. I can't even laugh anymore
Me either. However, I look forward to Legal Eagle breaking down the highlights.
it's crazy that trump has basically trained us all to be able to understand him because he's basically incoherent. in speeches he alternates between pre-written sections that he is clearly struggling to read, and completely thoughtless ad-libs like "many people are saying this" which he will say about literally anything. and in more spontaneous formats he's just all over the fucking place, he just leaves a trail of sentence fragments behind him until he's decided he's talked for an appropriate amount of time. and his voice, i mean, he sounds like mark hamill's joker after dental anesthesia. they should play his speeches on speakers mounted to the underside of cargo ships to repel whales
Wow, is that ever accurate.
You should consider a career in comedy.
I get it. I always try to tune in for these kinds of things though, the somewhat boring dense slow trials, because I want to be better informed to counteract any right wing rhetoric I encounter. In particular IRL.
plus it's more mundane factual shit so I'm here for that, but if he treats it like the debates idk if I could all the interrupting to make no point just to get sound bites and derail the other person.
I think him in a courtroom will be different, perhaps startlingly so. He won't be able to just say whatever he wants, he'll have to actually try to make a logical coherent case. Which, being impossible for him personally, means that I think we will not hear much from him. His legal team will do most of the talking, if he has any brains at all.
Important caveat. We may hear a lot from him after all!
