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!

It's complete insanity that neither party is using this case against Trump during the primaries. Especially Haley, it's a gift wrapped opportunity for her to score points on Trump and she completely ignores it. Her campaign was a lost cause from the start but none of the Republican candidates have acted like they are even trying.
Erm, Haley is using this for her campaign:

She's not wrong that we can do better.
She's just wrong in assuming she is better.
I mean, I certainly don't intended to vote for her over Biden, even considering my distaste for Biden, but I would say she is better than Trump from what I've seen. She seems more like "regular" republican evil primarily dangerous due to harmful policies, which is still plenty bad to be fair, but I don't expect we'd be as likely to have her try a coup should she lose an election.
I'd take her over Trump for sure.
But Biden over her, and like, fucking any other Democrat over Biden.
But this is where we're at, so I guess I'll fall in line.
I think this is my favorite dig on it

They don't know about it. Legit know someone that doesn't know all the legal issues trump is currently going through. Lots of "if he committed a crime why hasn't he been charged?" It was a bit surreal. All the witch hunt talk has saturated the conversation so they don't even know official proceedings are fully underway. They think because he hasn't actually paid the damages to E Jean Carrol it means he wasn't found "guilty" (because they don't understand the nuance between civil and criminal).
And ruin her future chances at getting elected in the ~~republican~~ Trumpican party?
Let me get this straight: you think the
grab em by the pussy
crowd is gonna give a flying shit?!?
Maybe not the moonshine-addled MAGA crowd, but there are plenty of faux Republicans (centrists) who may.
